The conversation between Rusty and Jon covers a range of topics related to the Lightning Network. They discuss the decoding process and the importance of properly formatted signatures, with Jon arguing for more explicit requirements. They also touch on the need for clear descriptions of payments and the use of UTF-8 encoding. The conversation then turns to the maximum field size allowed, and the potential de-anonymizing effects of including a URL in payment requests. Jon suggests using HORNET as a solution. They also discuss the limitations of bech32 and the possibility of changing test vectors to JSON encoding. Finally, Jon proposes hiding text in the description under certain conditions and adding an "extra data" tag.
