Routing hints for private channel invoice
See original GitHub issueProblem
The creation of private channels is already possible in Zap, thanks! When running private channels, the public network does not know about the possible routes for sending payments to the private node.
Solution
The receiver can include routing hints within the invoice he provides to the sender.
lncli addinvoice --private --amt <sat>
Feature request to include a check box with Include routing hint in the invoices tab.
Context
Muh privacy.
Possible Implementation
@JimmyMow and @mrfelton have already discussed this many blocks ago, I’m not sure if this is implemented already, but I don’t see the option in the GUI.

@MaxHillebrand I’ve done an implementation of this in #2191
The option to mark routing hits was included in previous versions, but now in 0.5.3 beta it has been removed again, I can’t received payments from nodes that I am not connected to because those nodes don’t know my node since my node and channels are private. Could you please tell me how to add routing hints in zap wallet 0.5.3 invoices?
