this is soo exciting! some background for people who want to know what this means for them:
what is it? route blinding makes it so that the person whos' receiving the payment can hide which node id is theirs. this is a big deal, right now an invoice contains all the info about what node is getting paid, how much and for what. route blinding takes the "to who" out of this, but still lets you receive sats
how can i use it? route blinding will be rolling out with bolt12s; it's a pre-requisite for the new invoices; it's not available for bolt11s (and there's no current plans to)
who has it? CLN + Eclair both implemented it and have it interop'ing; iiuc Carla at Chaincode has it working on LND in a branch + the LDK project is furiously working on adding it
Wow! That's blowing my mind niftynei! Thank you so much for the explanation! I'm very fan of your job you're doing with CLN. I hope see his Bolt in more Lightning implementations :)

doesnt bolt 12 give you bolt 11 invoices so it'd have to have them just only through bolt 12 or am i wrong?

Route blinding and musig2 in one week, whats up with the devs they're getting after it
Amazing, privacy is coming finally. Most important flaw of LN before any other evolutions for me
is LN ready for darknet markets now? or would it still be too risky for that kind of commerce.
Nice. Wen LND
Devs keep deving good this week!
