Garnet users, are you aware that Garnet creates a new subaddress for every single note and reply that you do?
I'm thinking this will be a problem for lookahead down the road. Anyone have thoughts?

We need more Privacy devs to work on Garnet and #Nostr on general.

Just curious about why that would be a problem?
Well it's the only way for the monerujo side of garnet to connect note IDs with transactions, it's not really a problem but there have been problems where a wallet has trouble syncing subaddresses that are really far ahead and it doesn't look far enough to see them. So you import your seed elsewhere, a transaction doesn't show and you have to manually set it to look further ahead for it.
I see I didn't know this a thing

Yeah so subaddresses function like the wallets in BIP39 seeds, where they're deterministically generated from a seed key and that seed key is your private key. For a wallet to know about a transaction sent to one it has to know it, and usually wallets will auto generate a bunch of them and check, but if you've created thousands of them then it won't know to look that far ahead and you have to tell it to.
Interesting, I don't know if it is a problem, but it is very useful to recognize where and why the tip comes from.
