I added the ability to the end the tip jar into a tri-fold sign so you don't need an actual jar.

Here is a summary from the ppq auto model:
The article is a White House executive order titled **“Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System.”** It says the administration wants to tighten financial oversight to reduce fraud, money laundering, and other illicit activity in the U.S. banking system.
## Main points
- The order argues that financial institutions should do more to prevent misuse of the banking system by criminal networks and other bad actors.
- It says **customer identification and due diligence** should be strengthened to better detect suspicious activity.
- It also says lending to people **without legal work authorization** creates credit and repayment risks because their income and employment status may be unstable or harder to verify.
- The administration claims employers who violate immigration laws can distort wage reporting and tax withholding, which can affect credit underwriting and financial risk assessment.
## What it directs Treasury and regulators to do
- Within **60 days**, the Treasury Secretary must issue an **advisory to financial institutions** about risks tied to non-work-authorized populations and their employers.
- The order is meant to encourage regulators and banks to adopt stronger compliance and risk-management practices.
## Overall message
The order frames the issue as both a **national security** matter and a **bank safety and soundness** issue. Its goal is to make the financial system less vulnerable to fraud, laundering, and risky lending while increasing scrutiny of accounts and services tied to people without work authorization.

Basically everyone's noub is also a taproot address. That means people can send on-chain Bitcoin transactions to this single address. It's bad for privacy because it reduces the anominity set.
It's also a permanent record and governments implement laws restricting who you can send money to. I'm thinking about donating my on-chain zaps, but that also comes with trade-offs and I need to think about the implications.
I also think there are game theoretical implications I haven't fully considered yet.

Yeah. I want to use the onchain zap I received for educational purposes, but I didn't know there would be an argument over the implementation. I test Bitcoin wallets all the time. This is the first time I've seen such controversy about a wallet I'm testing.
It's good though. #bitcoin needs more adversarial thinking.

Thanks. I should have read the NIP before getting excited. I assumed a new address could be derived from each zap. I still think we can do that, but I need to do more research.
I am currently working on a freedom money course. I'm currently creating a PowerPoint/Impress for a video about digital signatures. I plan to teach the same concept @nprofile…vczl described in the Bitcoin Standard with the Island of Yap analogy with this specific transaction.
Instead is announcing the transfer of ownership of a big rock on the island of Yap, @nprofile…ae9u announced that he transferred 6,399 sats to me on the island of #nostr. Get it?

I think NIP-32 attestations are better because it's built on the web of trust. Bitcoin doesn't require trust so it doesn't have any opinions about identity. That's why I like it.
