📝 Original message:
It was pointed out to me[1] at thelightningconference.com that it's often
a legal requirement to list the vendor on a receipt. It also makes
perfect sense.
It can be done in the description field, but that's really supposed to
be a description of the *items*. Dividing it also lets wallets have
much better UX.
The spec change itself is genuinely trivial:
* `v` (12): `data_length` variable. Optional name of vendor/supplier (UTF-8).
Feedback from wallets and vendors appreciatedg!
Rusty.
PS. Pull req at https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/pull/694,
but I realize that can be intimidating, hence this mail.
[1] I'd like to credit this properly, but I was jetlagged and having way
too much fun. Please claim if this was your idea :)
