One thing I'm trying to understand:
Why isn't Silent Payments (BIP 352) being adopted faster? It seems strictly better than reusing addresses or running a separate Lightning Address service:
✅ Single static identifier (like a Lightning Address)
✅ Each payment generates a unique on-chain output
✅ No address reuse, no privacy leak
✅ No interaction needed between sender and receiver beyond knowing the SP code
✅ Protocol-level, no extra trust assumptions
The reference implementations exist (Cake Wallet, Wasabi). What's the actual blocker? Is it just wallet inertia, or is there a real protocol concern I'm missing?
