This is peak crypto mentality.

The fact that someone thinks this has "good usecase" is what makes them the problem. The entire crypto industry normalised address reuse and handed the plate straight up to the centraliseres and doxers. Now they are coming for nostr too.

Was just about to try Amethyst, now i am gonna pass.
The concept of a public wallet is very interesting and we need to explore more. It goes beyond zaps, where transactions are public and everyone can see them, but balance is private. With onchain, you get a free, public, identifyable address to receive anything without having to pick and be locked into a lightning provider or a cashu mint. But anyone can see and verify its yours.
