Private Donations on Nostr
Let's say you want to support your favorite activist or political dissident and you want to do it a little more privately. What are your options?
Here are a couple of shower thoughts:
1. Assuming that direct messages are encrypted to the recipient's public key, why not use a tool like bitaddress.org to generate a bitcoin private key, load it with bitcoin, and send them the private key?
2. The activist can post a PayNym (BIP 47) to their profile. Nostr client developers can add this functionality (or Private Payments) to their clients to make this easier.
Thoughts?
