I will let the time decide if it is harmful or not. Maybe devs will finally get out of their asses and finally finish silent payments. Who knows...

Is this a static address that gets re-used?

yep

Yep that's bad for privacy.

Its linked to your Nostr identity. So, you are already public anyway... All zaps are public. They are all linked to your Nostr user and everybody can see them.

Ok, that's a point then. But with on-chain subs, it still could get dangerous because of chainalytics. Bitcoin's blockchain is much more monitored than Nostr. At least, that's what I think.

Please read this post by @jb55 as well. If we want on-chain zaps, please let's do it in a more safe way not tied to your nsec. View quoted note →

You can and should use different nsecs.

But then we need to rework NIP-06 so it generates multiple keys the same way BIPs 44, 49, 84 and 86 generate new keys for each payment.

Too complicated

How do you think people should use different nsecs then? Of course, there can be multiple nsecs for different purposes. But using a different nsec for each post? This improves privacy, and I have made apps myself that do this when not logged in with an existing profile. But without having a seed for this, saving them all manually is nearly impossible.

Different privacy needs, different nsecs. My nsec for health care data for instance is not this one.

So purpose-based, right? I still could use my profile here for sharing things publicly? But... the same way you publish a Lightning address to your kind 0 profile data, why not also put in a Bitcoin address field? This could support single-key addresses (like P2TR, P2PKH etc., still bad for privacy, but not tied to your nsec), but also PM8T (BIP-47) or silent payment addresses. You want ro see these as well, right?

Yep. Most people will have different nsecs for each Nostr app, so in the end, it's all distributed.
