I might have used the term doxxing the wrong way. Sure, it's easy to see that I'm Marcos, this profile points to my LinkedIn, etc. But when I send you some sats using the #lightning here in nostr, then it stays on your profile who has sent you money.

10 years from now, Matt makes some wrong choices in life, and then the mafia says that Marcos is financing a criminal activity. Yeah, I know it's far-fetched, we all live in reasonable jurisdictions 😉

I see. I didn't realize you meant that your issue is with other people seeing it. I would say that this problem can't be solved if you're using your real identity to send me funds. That information is going to be somewhere.

Are you sure that this information is visible when using an external wallet? When I click zap, my Phoenix app opens and handles the transaction. As far as I know, #Amethyst is just sharing the destination with the Phoenix app. Maybe it is visible. I have no idea how to even check. I will zap you 64 sats and you can see.

TheKid showed me how to do it privately. You hold the lightning button and configure different amounts to be private/anonymous...

I actually just noticed this in Amethyst, so I'll send another (56 sats) with the non-zap option. This may be the answer to your concern. This is how I assumed zaps were happening for me, but I think now I was wrong.

It looks like you can make this the default behavior in Amethyst, which is pretty damn cool. Problem solved in my opinion. Thanks for bringing this up. It's a good point.
