It doesn't matter. On nostr, they are all doxxing that lightning address and those transactions (which is what almost everyone does here). Of course, they can have other lightning wallets and those are not affected.
Similarly, we are not doxying people's main Bitcoin wallet. It's only a wallet for nostr.
Everything else is user education to hopefully not mix funds or keys.

Then we should never have created zaps in the first place.
Anyway, I know that you're gonna ship it anyway but this is too important for me to just shut up about. I hope that a more sane approach will win in the end. Silent Payments, for example. I'll go touch grass now.
Zaps don't promote on-chain address reuse. Are you even trying to understand what I'm saying?
I appreciate the debate. And I hope someone creates a silent payment implementation that can actually work and don't just defer privacy to a trusted monitor provider.
Sure. But they take something very private and turn into something VERY public for the sake of memes.
Any attacker can save those events forever in such a way that they don't even need the chain. In fact, it's even better than the chain because now they can sell databases of past zaps that no one else can find because they were deleted. We created the incentive to sell our info and create that marketplace.
It's really bonkers if you think about zaps from a privacy perspective. Every decision we ever made made lightning worse than on chain transactions.
Legend.
Let's do it.. send a NIP on which way to do it that actually works. Right now a bunch of people are talking but nobody is doing shit. We need actual proposals/implementations from people that know what they are talking about.
