SilentPayments.xyz: What Are Silent Payments, Bounties & More

• Silent Payments proposal (BIP-352) has been merged into the BIP repository a few weeks ago, meaning that wallet developers may want consider adding it to their projects.

Key advantages of Silent Payments include:

• Simpler user experience. "Users just need to worry about a single, static address instead of the hurdles of generating new addresses for every receive."
• Better receiver privacy. "Address re-use with Silent Payments is impossible, as no two senders can generate the same on-chain address."
• Better sender privacy. "Receivers have no way of connecting sends from the same receiver together, providing better privacy for even the sender."
• No server required. "Anyone with a wallet supporting Silent Payments can receive funds without address reuse, without communication, and without running complex infrastructure."
