Channel management idea:
Say I have a stand at a farmers market. I use my new Bolt 12 address to accept small payments for eggs, baked goods, and jellies all over lightning.
But if someone wants to buy half a cow, they might want to pay on-chain.
Could I give them an on-chain invoice that is actually a splice to add capacity to my lightning channel?
If I have a bill due to one of my suppliers that is approximately the value of half a cow, could I splice the payment into their side of our lightning channel?
It would seem this would have privacy gains similar to coinjoin while also helping with my channel capacity management.
