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.

Why do you need a new design? Was something not working?
