Has anyone of our Lightning node operators here tried BOLT12 Offers yet? I love this disclaimer: DO NOT GET AN OFFER TATTOO UNTIL SPEC IS FULLY RATIFIED!If anyone wants to try it, I declare this the topic for that.. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Short setup instruction: [1] Edit your config file (if you followed my guide it's ~/.lightning/bitcoin/lightningd.conf). [2] Add the following line anywhere really. [3] Restart Lightning sudo service lightningd restart
Then go into RTL and toggle it on in Node Config >> Experimental >> Offers. Now you can create an offer in Lightning >> Transactions >> Offers. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FrsSbN1Ts%2Fimage.png&t=665&c=o4zPUIHQui8_0Q) Super easy with one click! You can even export them and get a nice PDF looking something like what is shown in RTL's release files. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FN03pCKpH%2Fimage.png&t=665&c=VaK4Lo3hmZbHXg) (this is just an example from testnet and from RTL devs, not sure if the node is up or not - will post a real mainnet offer once I get more channels in place etc.) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fuser-images.githubusercontent.com%2F39208279%2F147711716-a91002e3-c8ba-46df-bafd-10448e9a91ed.png&t=665&c=ZYVTt6dDH-q05Q)

Has anyone of our Lightning node operators here tried BOLT12 Offers yet? I actually enabled them a couple of days ago, but I didn't have a chance to test them out. I would appreciate if someone could try paying my offer. I will send the coins back. lno1pgqpgrjjv96xsgzmddjhjum9dej9683qw0dq55jnjrpks4uyrcsg78fgjf6uwm4l5lk0me5hcm9lfu34kn6lqsywstlx90t55dk5z99fsq8lryq7ws67mx4xwkrwpelezux560yv302w9lslsjqas75y52yertt2t4r4y27amw9j284thc0s4p6m58h6y ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F76daUt0.jpg&t=665&c=PzgZwim3EWuzbw)

Paid. I also received the 10 satoshis which you sent me yesterday through my offer. Feel free to deduct them from the refund payment.

I will disable it once you pay it.

Your offer seems to be working fine as my node can fetch an invoice, but I can't find a route to you. I have already tried sending as little as 1 satoshi with no luck.

Hey Rath, thanks a lot for trying! It's really good to know that I'm apparently unreachable or at least not well reachable. I just opened a new channel with good inbound liquidity; maybe retry tomorrow or whenever that's locked in, if you wish. Edit: @Rath_ got the new channel on-chain now!

I was able to send 1 satoshi through your offer, but 100 and 1000 satoshi payments still fail. Well... if you're interested, we can open a dual-funded channel ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) It seems that either my or your node is underconnected or lacks liquidity.

Paid. You can send back the coins either via keysend or my offer which I posted in my first post. Is your offer a single-use one?

You can send back the coins either via keysend Don't know what's that yet, so I sent them via offer. Thanks. Is your offer a single-use one? No. Can you send me more than 100 sats with the given offer or do I have to generate another one? Edit: Sent you 150 sats with keysend. You can send them back if you want.

This offer is fixed to 100 sats. So you would have to generate one with higher amount or without amount, so the sender can specify. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2F0NyqmHSR%2Fimage.png&t=665&c=-ThjD7g0l1wJxw)

Great, I think this was my first keysend transfer actually! It feels unfamiliar doing Lightning transfers without invoices / interaction, but also super practical and cool! Now we just have to let people know that they can use this e.g. to easily receive donations privately. So much better than needing to set up or even develop a dynamic website that has a connection to your node and fetches a new invoice every time. Not to speak of increased security by not having to expose the node more to the internet.

Great, I think this was my first keysend transfer actually! It feels unfamiliar doing Lightning transfers without invoices / interaction, but also super practical and cool! It does come with some drawbacks, even though I understand none of them. "Inability for the payee to specify their preferred min_final_cltv_expiry"; why is true for keysend and not for invoice? "Loss of being able to use the preimage and invoice signature as proof-of-payment"; again, which part is different and I don't get the pre-image? Isn't it a core part of Lightning to get the pre-image? Isn't there a payment hash involved? One drawback I expected to see but didn't is privacy. To send with keysend, you need to reveal your node's public key. With invoices, that's not necessary.
