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.

It absolutely matters whether it's a new address every time or the same one. On-chain data is forever, most other data is not. Lightning zaps have plausible deniability. On-chain zaps don’t have that property. On top of that, Lightning has certain privacy guarantees after receival that on-chain d...

Why would you ever want to do that?!

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.

I am one of those retards. Should I not zap? I also don't fully understand address reusability. If I buy Bitcoin should I make a new address each time?
