Proposal for Advertising Lightning nodes via DNS records.



Summary:

The discussion between Tyler and Christian concerns the proposed BOLT that allows payment routing through DNS records, which could serve as a fallback solution for improving user experience. Tyler highlights potential issues with the proposed solution, including reduced privacy due to merchants being able to track payments, while Christian cites benefits such as increased decentralization of the network and better management of risk. They both agree that the solution should only be used as a fallback option, rather than replacing the decentralized nature of Lightning. The conversation also touches on the use of push amounts and the importance of random connections in strengthening the network.
