How to create a bolt12 offer for Ocean mining using LND

I recently setup startOS in a miniPC to run Knots (no spam on this node).

Then I setup a lighning node on AlbyHub for it’s simplicity and easy connection to a mobile wallet.

Now I’d like to point my bitaxe miners to Ocean and get payments via lightning. I need to create a bol12 offer, however in STARTOS AlbyHub connects to LND only and LND doesn’t seem to support BOLT12 yet!

Is there a way around it? Is it possible to move from LND to Core Lightning without closing the channels?

Or is LND BOLT12 just around the corner? And if so could I start mining on Ocean without lightning payments initially setup, then set it up once LND supports BOLT12 and not lose whatever I mine until then?

Many thanks in advance.

You’d have to ask Lightning Labs about Bolt12. They don’t seem particularly interested in it while they work on adding altcoins and stables to lightning.

As for your current situation… just install CLN, open a channel with your LND instance, and use that.
