In A Cypherpunk's Manifesto, Erik Hughes wrote "Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world."
If I reveal a Monero address I do not selectively reveal it to the world. I must alwa...
Well...you are selectively revealing it to the world. No one forced anyone to make a specific address public, or reveal their other addresses, or associate them with every nym (or irl identity)
By defintion posting any address on a public network like Nostr is revealing it to the world. It doesn't matter if it's Monero or a Lightning address. If I want the address private then I'll private message someone an address.
So the assumption is a crypto-knowledgeable cop knows what a Monero address looks like, but will not know what a Lightning address looks like?
If it's an appeal to their ignorance then I would think that would apply to both especially considering Bitcoin ecosystem is the more popular/mainstream.
Maybe. But it's not like it gets you away from the problem. You're now just saying "I accept either lightning, stablecoins, or both." I guess technically that's slightly better because it offers some ambiguity?
I'm not trying to 'argue'. But I genuinely don't think there is much difference if any.
