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.

Fair.
sure, but one of those two actually gives you money
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.
kind of strange to say that people throwing money at you are doing it wrong, but i get the gist
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
