Let's play around with BOLT12 \ stacker news ~lightning

2317 sats \ 35 comments \ @south_korea_ln 4 Jul lightning

Following Phoenix's recent announcement supporting BOLT12 (#595799), let's play a bit with it.

Post your static lightning invoice here, I might send you a few sats... Other than Phoenix, there is Zeus I think with BOLT12 support. Any other wallet already supports it?

For reference, this is mine: lno1zrxq8pjw7qjlm68mtp7e3yvxee4y5xrgjhhyf2fxhlphpckrvevh50u0qvm8t927d6g3hry88acurmvya2u0d5d6yruju7edupl8cpm07qfdvqszaggk7hf739g2td3tmc72hsk8qv02wyt6ypyualym9feutq6gu5sqqvcs0exguxrf20fm6cv9avqh0zeq3juvhhnl7z2ktc2uh8w9ypqcy25glvk5rfe62pjfccz9k50wq39dd9t4qv9ar4uv0s3qh8jhusqkz8l2z59kmvzxyxu6cdrgqt2q065sjxg96qqsg86emkxs7kypw8lfvnkn4nw045

BE AWARE!

Playing with these static payment codes is fun but be aware that if you are using Phoenix on Android WITHOUT Google Play Services, the FCM notifications are not available. Phoenix is now pushing users to use Google Services LOL !

https://m.stacker.news/38175

So if you want to receive payments through those static codes BOLT12, you still need to keep active (not closed) the Phoenix app. You cannot receive payments while you are walking around with the app closed ! SO IS NOT DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER LN INVOICE.

FUCK GOOGLE SERVICES ! I will not use any wallet that is forcing me to install Google Services.

That seems like an important detail... didn't notice as I installed Phoenix through Google Play back in the day... just tried to send some sats this way to someone on NOSTR, and indeed, they are unreachable, possibly because of this reason.

Only if you don't allow it to work in the background and don't have these notifications available

It is, it is reusable

Reusable for what if your Phoenix is not reachable?

Sent 7 sats from Phoenix. It worked. Cool.

Here's the QR code to the address in case anyone else wants to try it:

Are you sure that's your code? It looks similar to mine and ended up sending the sats to myself...

Anyhow, here a few sats :)

I should have been clearer about what the QR code was for. It is indeed your code. I have not yet generated one for myself. I only wanted to put yours out there in case others saw this and wanted to try sending to a bolt12.

But now you got me thinking... how could I generate my own? What did you use to generate yours?

I wish Blockstream would implement BOLT12 offers in Greenlight. Since they're already available in CLN, I can't figure out what's holding them up.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Bell_curve 4 Jul

What’s the reason behind bolt 12 offers in green light?

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @EntropyBearer 4 Jul

The hold-up might have something to do with Greenlight nodes being on-demand ¹. Not sure if by paying/trying-to-pay a BOLT12 offer the node could get a "wake-up" call.

...activate only when called upon to perform a payment operation and then go into a sleep mode after the operation is completed. https://blockstream.com/lightning/greenlight ↩

How long in development has BOlt 12 been worked on? I've heard about it for a bit - didn't know the full history behind it, and its origins

About other wallets with BOLT12 support, I just noticed this post: #596140

Sorry, I didn't realize you need to be online. That kinda kills most of the excitement for phoenix as its a mobile wallet and not always online. Best for running your LN node I think

Great post, thanks for starting it!

Do these wallets already support the tor-like route blinding technology for enhanced privacy?

If yes, does this make transactions much slower as some people feared?
