When can I tip ecash to someone who does not know what ecash?

I see, we all learned more today, including that LLMs make our conversations increasingly obsolete haha

Haha! We are all adaptive creatures aren't we...I think though that human interaction will prevail regardless of the form

Actually, I remembered that IAP technically usually use no Apple Pay, and regular credit card information saved with the Apple Account instead. Apple did add an Apple Pay option for Apple Account payments more recently, to my knowledge only as a supplementary method for certain transactions, while mandating regular credit card payments for others.

I summary, using IAP purchases, depending on the payment methods tied to an Apple Account, usually use direct card transactions and no Apple Pay, likely making your issue an Apple Account payments privacy issue.

I had a conversion with an LLM about this. The payment was an Apple Pay not IAP or card transaction. The model confirmed that Apple will never submit information not present in the Apple Pay sheet. I confirmed the purchase did not request phone field. The model suggest that the merchant got the data from "Third party identity verification and fraud detection". So, Apple Pay was not the issue.

From my experience Apple Pay has three basic modes, Wallet app NFC, online payment and web store checkout.

The first two should only transmit a randomized one time authorization code, the third one should present a preview with your default shipping information, name, physical address, email and phone, to verify or edit.

Do you clearly remember which mode you used?

If Apple Pay transmitted one or more fields of your shipping information outside a checkout setting that would seem like a significant issue.

It was an in app purchase. I didn't get a preview of any additional info. I just double clicked the side button to confirm the purchase. Maybe there was a preview within the conformation screen that I didn't pay attention to during the checkout...

I used to pay with Apple Pay for most purchases. Not sure why or how my mind was thinking of it as a better way to pay than handing my card or card info. I recently became aware of how horrible it is. It exposed my email, phone number, home address and sometimes physical location with some purchases.

I became aware of this when I made an online purchase and everything seemed fine except the order wasn't delivered. When I contacted customer service, they said they want to make sure the order was actually made by the card holder. They suspected fraud because I made the order with a different phone number than the one they had from Apple.

I could steel man the argument for why an inscription in the halving block might be collectable (I think it's beyond wasteful and idiotic, but I could predict their argument). For the life of me I cannot understand why you'd pay these fees to be in block 20 after the halving...

I think most don't know what they're doing and I don't know what they're doing either

As a full-time VPN user you also end up becoming an expert at solving cutting edge CAPTCHAs.

What a friend are you? Friends don't let friends use rugable toys. Give them Phoenix or some other high quality mobile wallet for small amounts and set a timer to remind them to move funds to a real hardware wallet once Bitcoin goes x10 again.

Of course not ruggabale. I disagree on putting funds in LN for the sake of just parking them there.

But I agree on utilizing good mobile wallets.

Tough question as you would first have to define what constitutes a hardware wallet.

I would argue that a hardware wallet needs to let the user add entropy at key creation, ideally supporting dice ware, allow writing down a backup (which requires a screen), use open standards so experts can verify if the entropy also gets used according to these standards, it needs to be able to display transactions for confirmation on the device and it needs to follow standards again to avoid key exfiltration.

If you settle for anything less, you might be paying for hardware that still is vulnerable to a rug pull by a compromised provider.
