I find hilarious that people are suggesting we take something extremely private and computationally intensive like Silent Payments and then wrap it in a signed Zap Event that identifies the sender, the receiver and a post for what that payment is about.
Zaps were created to deannonimize transactions for the memes. Originally with lightning and now with onchain. Their purpose in this ecosystem is to break privacy.
Not that we shouldn't invest in private tools for send money to one another, but a "ZAP" is something inherently public.
