They will never have that option on Nostr and frankly in any signed network. I can lock money in any pubkey I want, regardless if which cryptography the any network uses.

Plausible deniability is important. This removes it. You didn't address the address reuse issue. It's a massive issue. Keep in mind that I'm an advocate for both nutzaps and the marriage of silent payments and nostr.
I am fine with implementing address generation or silent payments. Neither of those get rid of the fact that by signing anything on the web, you are allowing anyone else to attach anything to you, including money, CSAM, etc.
If you truly want "plausible deniability", don't use anything that is cryptographically signed.. EVER.
Either that or change the definition of "plausible deniability" to include the fact that your pubkey can be used and abused out there and that has nothing to do with you... Which means you can still plausibly deny your funds, even though you are the only one in full controll of them.
Ok. Once more for the people in the back: Address reuse is really really really really (really) bad. Don't encourage it. It destroys the privacy of everyone.
We are attaching a Nostr identity to an on-chain address. It doesn't matter if it is reusing an address or creating a new one every time (which will also be attached in a Nostr zap event - and thus de-annonimizing it).
Anonymity is gone for anyone touching any of those Nostr addresses and all of their Nostr connections by definition.
And it's kinda the point of zaps. We want to publish our transactions for everyone else to see.
If you don't want those coins linked to other coins you might have, don't transact with them. Keep Nostr wallets to only talk with other nostr wallets.
... Everything but blind signatures
Monero addresses cannot be re-used.
Bitcoin hinges on the user knowing what they do, which they dont.
Suddenly money is not fungible? A Satoshi earned here should be as usable as a satoshi earned there. The more identities and off chain data associated with utxos, the worse fungibility becomes.
just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to actually do it.
Correct. My goal is to make it available. Each user then decides if they want to use it or not.
