I hope not lol

Send to me, I'll buy a pack of cigarettes & burn it down 🚬

🤣

what a queer idea... probably not.

It works: send ecash to pubkey G

Roasted nuts I’ll call em

🥜🔥🐿️

lol Y = G?

Pay to pubkey: G

i mean if you make Y = G and the blind it the mint won't be able to tell and you have the r blinding factor and DLEQ proof to prove it was you who burned it.

Oh yeah, now I see, that works too and it's fucking savage (like throwing a wrench into cryptographic gears).

It'd make a lot more technical sense to have a burn aggregator that did an on-chain burn with a merkle sum tree. You could also make it a tokenized protocol to make it possible to pay for it trustlessly.
