Yeah we can send and receive anonymously with LNURL. It’s still anonymous if we use a pseudonym though. If I send you sats, you don’t know who I am. We can now buy and sell without KYC because the only thing you actually know about me is my npub, but NIP-57 offers proof of payment.

I get that, we’re all anonymous here. What I mean is, we now know the npub/account. It was good to receive sats without knowing it too. Just the general mystery
Yeah that was fun, and we can still do that. I don’t think you can zap with just a regular LNURL though. But I can tip you, and you wouldn’t know it came from me.
I think NIP-57 is exactly what was spoken about in the Crypto Anarchist Manifesto. We will create a new economy where nobody knows their customer, but we are still able to trade. That’s how it should be.
