I don't understand the problematic. * A client adds on-chain zaps (for whatever reason) * You then have ONE on-chain address receiving zaps You receive a few thousand sats in zaps and then you're worried about the UTXO history? Bridge that dust back to LN, end of story. Unless someone uses an on-chain address linked to a real persona nostr npub and then is so stupid to use that address to receive large amounts of money, what you all bitching about?

The whole point of this is that it's aimed at people who aren't savvy enough to use Lightning (or Monero). If they then need those protocols to move the money, the whole exercise is counterproductive.
It's a good lesson for Bitcoiners. Maybe the best teacher we did not deserve? It'll teach them why ANONYMITY, OPSEC & FUNGIBILITY are important. It's such a huge attack vector that I won't go into details here. This will get exploited and people having ignored the above will suffer the consequences.

Of course it is. But you wouldn't use such an address for anything else than receiving zaps right? Once those sats are on LN you can move them wherever you want.
Right. I guess you could just consolidate the dust into one new input by sending the balance to yourself before bridging. Whole point being, lots of noise over a nothing burger.
Just create an LN address for them when they create their account and put it into their profile. However, the drama over this is ridiculous. One can tell that things are slow at the moment. People are bored.
I don’t really care tbh, it’s going to hurt users more when they see that their donation went into the void and cause a bunch of messy issues especially with things like zap-to-buy on here.
Good example of why I don't have a zap address set up. If I sell anything on nostr, it would be clear exactly what wallet address I tell a customer to pay
