Pumped to see the first mainnet, production-ready Silent Payment support live in Cake Wallet:
I've been testing this myself, and while the scanning approach takes some getting used to it's absolutely fantastic to have this live!
You can see what an address looks like in Cake Wallet here:

What do you think it should say that a "shitcoin" wallet was the first to implement an immensely useful Bitcoin privacy feature?
Maybe just think about that for a bit before you come in here spouting your inane maxi-isms from your favorite podcaster.

  1. I do not listen podcasts and I do not have any "favorite"
  2. It is Bitcoin only, no other shitcoins. I don't give a shit about anything that is not Bitcoin.

Why would I want to give someone a static on chain address when I can just give them my lightning address? Doesn't seem useful for me.

You are trusting the domain that hosts your lightning address. Even if it's domain you own, it can be seized...

silent payments and LN address are two different things. Don't confuse them.

This is great! I love Cake because the ability to instantly buy gift cards! you can literally have dinner, get the check, use your crypto for the exact amount the bill is delivered in a gift card and give it to your server and leave. All anon.
The people behind that wallet are next level geniuses.
Any word on having lightning integrated? or is that not possible?

By using crypto to pay for everyday items, you actually increase adoption rather than just stacking SATs. In fact, you can argue IT TAKES MONEY AWAY from Visa, MasterCard and Stripe etc. In general, it's working together to kill the current system.
It has a purpose. It helps to be flexible if vendors don't accept LN or liquid or whatever next layer. If I was a vendor, I'd only accept BTC on-chain, and not LN. For the average user, they may not want to pay the on-chain fee which can run up to $25+. Food for thought.
