Can this private zap be a good way to share a signal handle to start a more private chat than what Nostr has available with dms? Basically, I'm looking for a way to privately share my signal handle to initiate private chats on signal instead of Nostr. Seems like sharing the handle through a lightning payment might be more private? I just don't know if that information is encrypted or if it's just plain text somewhere.

I believe the most private would be do the “none” option then put it in the note portion of the lightning invoice. You could copy their address & do it manually in your wallet of choice

Why not keychat? Signal encryption DMs using nostr keys as identities.

Im trying to find a good way to move from Nostr to signal (or any other private messenger) without using Nostr dms and without exposing the signal handle publicly.

Right. I think keychat might fit your needs. Nostr DMs but they are encrypted using the signal protocol. Easy to switch to from nostr since it using nostr identities. Sign in with amber and start sending DMs to any other nostr identity. Only downside is the other person must use keychat too. Other DM clients won't see keychat messages.

Keychat message sent if you want to give it a try.

I've done that by DMing a unique random email alias then they email me their signal handle.
