Someone giving me 500,000 sats anonymously for a fundraiser and someone giving me 500,000 sats to get clout… Is still 500,000 sats… You do realize that right?

If someone wants to give anonymously, they can do that through anonymous or private zaps too.

This isn’t even the point that’s being argued, re: Apple’s limitation of zaps.

At the root, it is about the point being argued (i.e. you can still send sats and even "zaps", even if Apple forbids "note zaps")

Yes I realise those 500k sats are the same, but you assume the "fundraiser" account only wants to fundraise in this one specific fundraise event.

How about this:

- if I'm a fake fundraiser and coordinate with my friend Joe the Generous to wash-zap 5 x 500k sats to my "fundraiser", this will earn 1) free hype and followers for me, 2) free hype and followers for Joe the Generous

- if I make it appear that I raised 50 mil sats in this fundraiser (wash-zaps), this will cause hype. More people will actually donate in my next fundraiser (maybe I wash-zap only 45 mil sats then?), but again huge amounts => huge hype => more actual followrs and actual donors. Eventually I can "string along" as many fundraisers as I want, nobody will know what amount is actually donated vs what was wash-zapped, but more and more people will be duped into donating just by the fake numbers alone.
