blatantly stolen directly from bitcoin optech...open source woo!

@ddustin LND v0.17.0-beta.rc2 is a release candidate for the next major version of this popular LN node implementation. A major new experimental feature planned for this release, which could likely benefit from testing, is support for “simple taproot channels”.

@arik-so LDK #2468 allows users to provide a payment_id which is encrypted in an invoice request’s metadata field. LDK checks the metadata in received invoices and will only pay if it recognizes the id and hasn’t already paid another invoice for it. This PR is part of LDK’s work toward implementing BOLT12.
