One dev attempted to solve the "zaps problem" by creating a tool to use your Nsec as a bitcoin private key. This is a stupid idea for several reasons but people can do what they want.
Another more popular Nostr dev implemented a similar spec and was also called stupid. Also saying that Nsecs should be expected to be leaked which is not a popular view.
This saga taught a bunch of people about cryptographic address reuse, privacy, and on-chain dust limits.

HSM key signer is entirely possible. Massively reduces risk down to physical access. But fair enough if sessions can't be batched and signed PSBT style then yes, there's a compromise risk.

Dude,what do you think the term "marked bills" means? how do you spend dollars, physically in person? So your ability to spend physical dollars is dependent on if you can physically get to the place you're spending them. Also as I said, no matter the dollar if YOU are spending them, it is tainted by the gayfeds. Just for reference, that is not how most people spend dollars and is literally impossible in a lot of places.
Apply this to Bitcoin just a chain of signatures. Nothing about the signature has any identification whatsoever. I can spend bitcoin from anywhere, with no restriction. The fungibility of bitcoin (or literally anything else) is an out of band designation that uses pointers to facts about the item: Serial numbers, outputs, even entire types of money.
Fungibility is not a property of money as some people love to say. It is a social enforcement mechanism that is revoked at the moment you are a pariah.

So, take what you just said and apply it to your original post and make it make sense. Without concluding "I can't take security that seriously so why try?" Again, that make the protocol you've spent years on, useless. And it's generally a irresponsible position to take.

2026-05-17 19:34:53 CEST

- reply

Dollar bills are refused all the time because of who is spending them not cocaine or whatever. Banks refuse customers who don't have ID, or are on blacklists (I'm sure you know) so unless you are physically in a place to spend that dollar, your dollar isn't fungible.
I don't see a scenario where you have bitcoin, spend it from an address and someone somehow stops you. Maybe the vendor doesn't like you but that's how commerce works. I sell guns and bombs to people I like, not those I don't. Monero makes it so I have to sell my dangerous shit to people I don't know.

2026-05-17 19:24:32 CEST

So you don't see that this is not a useful protocol in that context? A public key identity base speech. This is like saying "PGP keys can leak therefore don't take your security THAT seriously." This is wildly irresponsible.

Huh? It's only undesirable to be forced to use the same address (the single non-deterministic from your Nsec) On-chain payment wouldn't be bad if your Nsec provided a merkle tree of addresses that were selectable. As far as Monero, it has privacy for sure (the cypherpunk in me loves that) everything else is worse: Governance, tail emissions, network effect strength, auditability, and general usability/technical accessibility.
It's the same reason we don't just make a better Bitcoin right now knowing all the flaws. The momentum is too great on the main chain.

- reply

His point is that you use your Nsec to sign 100's to 1000's of notes and each signature is "address reuse" of your Npub. This isn't normally a problem unless you Non-deterministically use that Nsec to derive a Bitcoin Pubkey. Then it becomes an Nsec bounty.

I always wonder what these people think the word simulation means. At a high enough layer of abstraction all that is "really" happening is energy moving around in waves through physical media.
You aren't "really" listening to music, vibrations are resonating on your eardrum.
You're not "really" eating food, proteins are being absorbed by your lower intestine.
You're not "really" touching that table, the electrons at the edges of the atoms in your hand are being repelled by the electrons in the table.

I don't think you understand how I am using the term. An Npub is the identity, the Nsec is the deed that says you own that identity.
You may trivialize this but some people are persecuted for their speech and put a lot of effort into broadcasting information. The inability to secure an Nsec destroys those people's speech.
Imagine every time you creat an Npub, somone can scrape the Nsec and say repulsive shit under your name. Or even implicate you in a crime.

They should, (although to be clear, I don't think you should reuse a Bitcoin public key) but I agree with you. BOLT 12 requests are difficult to integrate into Nostr apparently for some reason. I defer to @nprofile…2d2l as to why.
I would have to mull over whether the prescription of doing everything to mitigate the extreme case without a catalyst is generally advisable though. I personally live in a mix of both because the stress of covering every base is not worth it. I do my best and move on. I get pwnd, so be it.

Fair. In your very unique case, it would be easier for you create a nostr client that passes a LN Address translation to a .onion or eep endpoint. But again this was a thread about tying an identity pubkey to a financial pubkey which, I'd hope you'd agree is a poorly thought out idea.

- reply

Okay, and I put forward that you make a server, get the IPv6 address, create an invoice aggregator, have it serve a blinded path invoice. (I made ot simpler in the first comment). This routes them directly to a machine YOU control. The machine can reverse proxy through Tor to your lightning node.
Your "LNAddress" would be weev@2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 (don't use this. This is a randomly generated IPv6 address).
THIS is the price of paranoia. Or you could just do the easy thing and get a custodial zap wallet and pass the funds to your own lighning node over tor.

2026-05-07 10:36:28 CEST

- reply

Okay, so just host you own "site" via IPv6 and create an invoice manager from there. I am hearing a lot of things that make me think you don't know enough about how the web works. Tor and I2P options are available as well to use lightning so, I am not really sure what the issue is.
From a general standpoint normies can use a lightning node exposed to the clear web and be fine. The more paranoid (like yourself) can self-host and use Tor or I2P to recieve lightning requests for invoices. You just need more expertise to be as paranoid as you are.
There's no "Super secure, private, Tor/I2P, non Self-hosted, plug-and-play" type option here and to be frank that's an insane request.

2026-05-07 09:49:49 CEST

- reply

You do know there is encryption between your lightning node or wallet and the nostr app that you are connecting to, right? Just because I have someone's NSEC doesn't mean I have their wallet connection secret. Also, you're not disallowing anything. I don't control your zaps, your NPUB, your Bitcoin, or anything. You can do what you want. I'm just saying that this is a poorly thought out idea.

2026-05-07 06:46:12 CEST

- reply

Big picture, you've got people putting their savings in a couple on-chain addresses. And have a revolving channel to a lightning node or two from their house (like core lightning just running) their phones have an endpoint like Zeus to spend from their LN Node and zap as they see fit with their paycheck coming in through Strike (lightning withdrawal) out to their own node liquidity. (Until direct deposit forms are replaced by Lightning withdrawal forms Node Pubkey and all that.) BOLT12 would be huge but not entirely necessary.

This all sounds pretty bad TBH.
Using your Nostr Identity (you know the thing people keep raw dogging into apps) as a bitcoin key creates a perverse incentive for nostr app developers to try to skim keys.
Easy rugging AND your key might already be exposed and no one cared enough because you don't post mamy events or whatever.
On top of that using a single address creates all kinds of privacy issues and key revelations from address reuse unless it implements stealth addresses, which upon first reading, this doesnt do. Then not only is your Bitcoin rugged so is your Npub.

I didn't say Kanzan was wrong about that. I am saying that that is always the case that you can be identified because you're spending money no matter what money you use.
I don't know how I'm being misunderstood or what exactly it is people are disagreeing with me about, but I'm open to suggestions.
My points:
- Spending money is a public act (not private).
- obscurity techniques work on low-level thugs, but not nation states.
- privacy can be had only if you are not operating within a network.

I guess I would say, look into the IME if the CPU is is intel and why a lot of people opt for coreboot. The OS isn't the only vector of attack. Either way, I am not saying you can't have useful tools. This is also called an anti-pattern and is just as identifying as regular patterns. Having no digital footprint when you are a known person in meatspace creates a profile all its own.
This is beside the point. Most people ARE harmless so the intel agencies aren't wrong. You can try to obscure your network traffic, preserve your privacy, and control your UTXOs meticulously.
1, ONE counterparty you transact with can ruin all of that work. I think that's what I am trying to get across here. Using money (debt to other people for their good or service) necessarily involves public data. Use cash dollars, use Monero, use Bitcoin, use gold, whatever. No one is going to get paid and say "I wonder how I got this money, and from whom?" That just doesn't happen.
Using techniques to obsure your traffic so the average thug doesn't come for your corn is DOABLE. Obscuring you traffic so that no nation state can know your dealings? Impossible.

As for content of your communications, there are ways to keep that data private to a point. But again, you have a counterparty that can ruin everything. The essence of networks is that we are relying on others. Which is fine for trusted parties but merchants are generally untrusted parties.

Public data- is data that you allow to be known by untrusted parties.
Private data- is data you allow to be known by only trusted parties.
Secret data- is data you allow to only be known by yourself.

Let me rephrase so there's no pedantic gotcha: Overwhelmingly the most common way people can be identified by address is via fiat on ramps and off ramps.
The agorist selling me soap and fucking beef jerky is not giving my info to the CIA, Square, Strike, and Coinbase are. Better?
Okay. Ready?
The shop can just not tie the transaction to the data!
Example:
For reporting purposes- the shop sold 15 widgets.
The customer data is a separate ephemeral database.
NO MATTER WHAT MONEY YOU USE THIS IS TRUE. Yes, including Monero.
So, what's your point here? That using money is a public act (like I said). Or obscurity is a technique not part of the protocol because no matter the protocol the counterparty needs to be trusted? (Also like I said)
In a mass adoption world if I got bitcoin, sent it to a single spend (non-deterministic) address and handed the keys to the shop owner where's the paper trail? This is a TECHNIQUE yet I preserve my anonymity. (again, something I said before)

Using money is a public act. That's the thing. You're talking about a system in which you go out into public and ask everyone around you to preserve your privacy. It is not something that is possible because there are counter parties who also know you are trying to transact with them. Privacy is selectively revealing yourself to trusted parties. And the problem with that is merchants are never trusted parties. That is the whole rationale behind having trustless money.
Treat privacy like you treat anything else. When you're walking down the street, you carry a weapon because the average thug can be repelled with a weapon. But if you think your privacy precautions are going to save you from a nation state, you are sorely mistaken. Obscurity and pseudonymous techniques are the equivalent of carrying a weapon with you.
As for your premise, that digital surveillance is the norm. It isn't the norm of humanity, it is the norm of a centralized monetary system. And again, it's not that Bitcoin is not private or at least obscured. The emergence of Bitcoin is trying to reconcile a centralized system against a decentralized one. The only reason anybody can tie an identity to a Bitcoin address is because of the fiat on-ramps and off-ramps using Bitcoin. If I mine Bitcoin or do a job for someone and receive the payment in Bitcoin, there's nothing tying my identity to that address. That is just a holdover of people trying to transfer their wealth from the controlled system to the decentralized one.

I didn't say that. I am saying you need techniques not protocol changes. Protocol changes add complexity when privacy is not as useful in the future. Techniques can be adopted in the early days then discarded later.

So, very little. Got it.

So what? Who cares. I spin up keys like every 5 minutes. Shit, I can't remember seeds I used like 6 months ago. "Huge issue" meaning what? Are we pretending that there aren't 2 parties involved in every transaction? What if your counter party tells a fed that you transacted with them? Where is your privacy then?

Nah, I don't use centralized networks that can censor your content.

Okay, nice argument. Glad you put so much thought into your response.
You probably say things like "cash is private" and think no deeper.

Privacy is an issue for emergent systems because the set of users can be identified and crushed. But once there is ubiquity, on chain privacy is not a focal point of money. Minor pseudonymous protections (like no accounts tied to people but Public keys as the only identifier) serve well enough to use it as money.
So yes privacy is an issue NOW. but embedding privacy into the protocol is going to be vestigial with mass adoption.

Oh my bad, I thought this was a NIP type situation.
The subjective part of Doxxing is taking a photo of a person at a particular location is doxxing, but also completely legal. Where that boundary becomes blurry is if you take a picture of them pulling into their house. Did you reveal where their house is or are you just taking a picture in public?
Anyway, never mind. I thought this was a top-down configuration proposal. Disregard.

I just don't understand the situation where there's any "unconfigurable" moderation.
If you run the relay and don't configure it to block spam, no one with query your relay. Hosting CSAM is a crime and if you don't configure for that, you put yourself at risk. Doxxing is a subjective metric but can be configured as well. Making things "unconfigurable" is just your will being imposed on others. People will either make the right choice or face the consequences for making the choice they made.

That was when Vine added "video upload" ruining it imo. That's a vine from 2013.

That's why Vine was so creative. Having a constraint makes creativity very resilient.

Nope. You have to put something infront of a camera lens.

That's Vine baby. Real, raw shit. Six seconds, no heavy modifications.

Right. And I am say this sovereign application is lying to its users. I am asking the creator (rabble) and someone who is very promotional of that app (you) if that was an intended feature. Not saying it CAN'T do that, it clearly can. Just curious (and stating my opinion about it)

I understand, I am able to view the content, that's not the issue.
My question is why there is a UI for "restricted content" in the first place. The Application should not be doing that. Divine's relay may block the upload or delete it if it doesn't fit its policies. I have nothing marked to be filtered out. And especially a post as mild as this should never be blocked anyway.
