So I snuck a runtime option to enable offers into the coming #clightning release. This lets you play with the BOLT12 spec as it develops. There's no GUI front end yet, though, but you can create and redeem offers if you enable it.
It uses the onion message draft, which is also not finalized, so you need to connect to nodes which support that. Which means mine, RSN...

Let's send this into the fediverse.
@benthecarman @jb55 Call me naive, but a few years ago I would never have thought to ever hear "free speech" in a negative context. It's a truly terrifying development.
we're on fediblock lol https://fediblock.org/blocklist/
What's cool with this setup: you can say "give me a bitcoin block with this hash". And any node on your network could potentially answer this without having to even leave your network.
This could be a part of the network stack itself. How neat would that be?
maybe we need to change our perspective on things, switch to content-addressability vs location (See ICN[1]). Then any switch could be a potential CDN.

Luke Smith about the fediverse:
BeagleBoard just announced an affordable (rumored around ~$120) RISC-V board with Linux support
that would be nice
