Nitter works great as a thread reader. The entire thread appears on one page.
Plus, when using a browser and not logged into Twitter, eventually (e.g., within a page of Tweets) it will require login/auth in order to continue viewing Tweets. Nitter doesn't have that behavior.
And, personally, I wish to deny Twitter the ability to collect data on me -- which they may do even without me being logged in to a Twitter account. Since it is the Nitter server that is accessing Twitter, and not me that is doing that, Twitter has no knowledge of which IP address / edge device is accessing the content.
I would like to add that on mobile, Twitter is already walled off. It detects your scrolling and blocks further viewing beyond the initial tweet that brought you to their site.
This will be absolutely necessary. For how I understand it, some one selling papusas in the street, can have a QR printed that is a static 4000 sats invoice, and people just scan that to pay their orders. It can make their process much simpler and effecient, and they will be able to sell food without an internet connection.
You can do this with LNUrl now, but is not user friendly or easy to set up.
Bolt 12 anonymised messaging will be a dumpster fire of spam, a straight up DoS vector, without being very very very carefully thought out. I don't think it will be implemented and will ultimately be moved outside of the purview of LN because it is simply too big to fit into a single Bolt.
I'm working on a project to build precisely an anonymisation relay network targeted at providing client side anonymity to user propagating transactions on Bitcoin or running privacy protected Lightning channels. It's purposely being constrained to that scope, as the "exit node" being LN and BTC nodes, to initially focus the implementation and shorten time to market, and reduce the feature set size to start with.
Ultimately it is intended that it will become the de facto transport for all Bitcoin and Lightning Network traffic, and grow the anonymity set with every kind of network service imaginable, and later implementing rendezvous routing to enable hidden services.
It's just me, l0k1(8) working on it for now. Participating in maker.bolt.fun Legends of Lightning to hopefully win a little extra funding but I have a sponsor who is keeping me from needing to chase any other thing. I am trying to keep my focus on the code but nobody else is doing the marketing either so I have to deal with that too.

honest question, why nitter?

I see, thank you!

Thank you, I don't have the nitter redirect on mobile. It's very annoying to change the URL on mobile myself.
I use URLCheck and Untrackme on de-googled android, but yeah, they don't work perfectly.
Privacy fix on the way for donations for sure!

That’s why custodial solutions are booming, the setup for non custodial solution is right now expensive and hard to use
LFG BOLT 12 will be huge🔥
yes man!, I'm really looking forward to it.
same. subscriptions will be amazing. UX will be so much better.
Yeah, no doubt. Good thread.
I cannot wait for wallets to abstract from onchain an Lightning. 🔥
Static QR codes will be huge for user simplicity
One QR code to rule them all!

Lol I think we've all been waiting for BOLT 12, but since Lightning addresses rolled out I t think I could wait a little longer
Question will this obsolete BTC pay server?
I imagine BTCPay Server will make BOLT12 offers.
Is eclair working on implementation?
yes
How does BOLT 12 compare to LNURL capabilities?
Bolt 12 is LN native so no dns or server required. The answer at your question is in thread
Thanks, once I got a chance to sit down and go through the thread I saw that explination.
Bolt 12 is LN native so it doesn't require the DNS or server. đź‘Ť
