I made a working version for StartOS 0.3.1. where you can expose Bolt12-pay via cloudflare tunnel, using https://github.com/remcoros/cloudflared-startos.
It works just fine even on Rasperry pi! Check out start9.alex71btc.com ...
0.4.0 is on my roadmap as soon as it will be rolled out...https://github.com/Alex71btc/bolt12-pay-start9

you can run alby hub without an alby account! There also in an nwc app in the alby umbrel community app store. So no, you don't need kyc.

You perfectly can receive zaps in a non custodial way and create numerous lightning addresses for mining et cetera. Also use alby hub for nwc for sending zaps...until I will integrate nwc soon.

Yes I am hoping to get into the official app store on umbrel as well.

Yes then i will switch Bolt12pay to nativ support and get rid of lndk server integration. Nevertheless you will remain to have a very powerful bundle.

Yes NWC integration is next in the roadmap and will be shipped soon.
Anyway if you run an umbrel node you can already use bolt12pay to get zappable lightning addresses and then use the alby nwc app or albyhub ( has nwc) to connect your node to nostr , that would be the same functionality with already existing implementations.
That's why I did but prioritize NWC for now.

try it and you will see that it actually creates real offers and uses blinded paths.

I think you're mixing two things here.

A lot of BOLT12 discussion is indeed theoretical — agreed.

But this project is explicitly about testing real-world usage using LNDK, including actual offers and blinded paths, not just wrapping BOLT11 behind LNURL.

Also, merchants don't have to expose a static public invoice endpoint — that’s exactly where offers + blinded paths can change UX and privacy assumptions.

Totally fair to be skeptical, but dismissing it as “useless” ignores what’s actually being implemented and tested here.

Happy to go into specifics if you're interested.

Curious how people see BOLT12 adoption evolving — still too early or already usable?

Happy to answer technical questions about LNDK, BOLT12 or Lightning Address implementation.
