Instead of sending sats, we should burn them.

A verifiable proof-of-burn tied to a Nostr event is a WAAAY stronger signal than a regular zap. No one receives the sats, so there's nothing to dox and no way to game the system. It's just pure, on-chain destruction โ€” publicly linked to whatever you're trying to highlight.

Genuine question as a privacy researcher, what about zaps inherently leads to doxxing? I mean, aside from having a lightning wallet linked to your account?
