I don’t think that’s correct. Every time you zap, your payment info is tied to your npub. And we can see your lightning address. It’s only KYC if feds can figure out your real identity from the email address linked to the npub.
Discussion
So for a bank to kyc you it only does if you give them your real info? I disagree
How is it my wallet info tied to my npub when I’m not using the primal wallet? I’m not sure I understand
*how is my wallet info
Your wallet info is public. Node @ coin os or whatever
If you posted a note of a burner email and said this is my email address, that wouldn’t be enough to doxx you as long as your identity isn’t linked to it.
Why would there be a link to a burner address or a full name (real or not) since im not using a kyc wallet?
Like if you posted your email address in your bio for business purposes. As long as there is nothing on that email address that would identify you, you’d still be anonymous.
All I know about is what you posted on nostr and your lightning address. If you linked a burner email to your account, that doesn’t tell me your real identity.
Thats still not the issue. If im using a kyc free wallet, nothing is tied to my npub. No censorship can be done now or in the future with that info. I can change my wallet whenever
You can still change your wallet on other clients.
But here’s my question to you. If you set up a wallet on primal iOS using a burner email that has never been used for anything associated with your actual identity, how would anyone know who you actually are (e.g. your name, address)?
They wouldnt know my real identity. That fake identity would still be tied to my npub. Something that would not happen with a nokyc option.
Who cares? It’s not your real identity so it’s not KYC. KYC stands for know your customer. They don’t know anything more about who you are.
What about all the newcomers who did put in their real info?
Pretty sure they don’t care. They immediately join, put their names in, and post selfies 😂
From what I’ve seen, the ones who care the most didn’t even use the feature.
Not caring about it doesnt justify the business practice. 2 different things
I’m not justifying it but I also don’t care enough if they don’t care either. Maybe I’m jaded because I’ve wasted so much time trying to help normies. It’s like trying to orange pill people. It doesn’t work. They’ll find the answers when they need it. People will think about privacy when they get burned. Miljan also said that they are legally required to take down an email when offering a custodial wallet. Convenience tradeoff for the normies.
Primal’s business practices and waking up normies are 2 different subjects though. Has nothing to do with their practices.
Coinbase is a terrible company regardless of the fact that normies keep wanting to touch the stove
