I've said basically this openly including to core LN developers, that BOLT12 is fucking stupid and that instead clients can simply implement a socks proxy request so we can use Tor LNurls:
Regardless, running a Lightning node is an extreme pain in the fucking ass when you have committed adversaries, and I think Monero is just universally superior. But the fact that LN people are coming up with arbitrary games to pretend that LN offers privacy while maximizing the salaries they get paid out instead of using extremely simple to implement battle tested technologies is not encouraging. I just have no desire to use Bitcoin anymore. I’m not selling my Bitcoin, at least not until after Paul’s ecash fork and seeing if anything comes from drivechains, but I am quickly losing faith in the future of Bitcoin. For income I want Monero, and only Monero.
BOLT12 is actually fucking stupid compared to just supporting a socks proxy request for Tor
