I wouldn’t want web browsers to tell users visiting my website: “You can also donate to <person> with Google Pay” when I am not using it. I don’t want Nostr clients to lie to users about me “having” payment methods I don’t list in my kind 0 either.

Easy solution: Put an onchain address field on the kind 0 - People that want nsec-as-wallet can set it to that pubkey - Apps that want onchain zaps out of the box can suggest users to enable this - People that want more security can put a cold wallet or other wallet address - People that don’t want it don’t have to do anything
money in a form the recipient doesn’t accept is not useful I don’t want clients making up Ethereum or Monero addresses for my profile either, as much as I don’t want low-value UTXOs. Just because some people think that it is acceptable as money/donations doesn’t mean the owner of the npub is.
it’s not that people are “doing it wrong”, it’s that clients are lying to users about how they can give money to someone. the end result: - the sender is disappointed because their donation went to the void - the recipient also gets nothing

User hostile on all sides.
i concede that advertising a method on behalf of someone else is sketchy. it's an interesting idea though...
I liked this post at first because I thought it was smart but then I realized you're pro lightning and anti monero
