Ever wondered what it’s like to live in the futuristic utopia of BOLT 12?
A new website design for bolt12.org, a Bitcoin Lightning network protocol upgrade.
Work in Progress.

The retro-futurism is on-point...
Retro because it's basically a re-implementation of Tor
Futurism because it's destined for the same fate, slow and unreliable and overrun with shitcoiners

Is there a good explanation of trade-offs somewhere?

Considered writing up something but I can't think of any pros...
Proponents will say it's more private, but that's a hoax since all the privacy features are already happening separately
It can obviate lnurl-pay web servers, but so does nostr via lightning.pub or AMP
I guess it's good if you're a Neobank/shitcoiner since it's really meant for ECash
I guess it's good if you're the state and want to bifurcate the network effect of lightning as a means of exchange (attack)

Imagine smearing Tor on a lightning site. Telling people to expose their IP address when they run a node, or hoping they don't run one at all and use your shitty centralised service.
What a fucking joke.
No wonder Darthcoin is in here too with his bullshit advice.

Imagine being clued in enough to know about lightning and not know Tor is a useless honeypot probably run by Intel agencies
The same people that fall for traps like Tor fell for traps like Samourai... Enjoy your FISA warrants
If you really cared about obfuscating your IP address you wouldn't flag yourself by using something so stupid, there are countless better ways
