- could not find a single project that still actually cares about bip70 [0]
- well except maybe BitPay.
- but I cannot test with BitPay:
- they have a testnet3 staging environment on test.bitpay.com
- but the SSL cert they use for bip70 has expired in 2021
- the webUI probably also has not been updated since then...
- they claim to have added LN support in 2022 in a blog post,
but it's not there on test.bitpay.com
- on mainnet, they require KYC before payment
- < ... angry noises >
- their loss then, I don't care.
- this is code that no one wants to maintain
- this does not yet delete the signed bip70 payment data for historical txs
- but it is no longer possible to export it from the GUI

Lightning addresses with 'lightning:' do occur in the wild and make
sense (how else would e.g. the smartphone know to open a lightning
wallet instead of the e-mail client). So we should allow this.
