Muh Friction! Doxxing Nostr

Ditto's on-chain zaps convert every Nostr identity to a Bitcoin address without consent, turning shitposting on Nostr into the greatest gift to chain-analysis and each npub into a $5-wrench bounty. Removing friction by removing consent is not UX - it weaponises Bitcoin against its own users.

Yes, I've been consistently getting the same keypairs using my proposed rule for deterministic legacy address derivation from x-only public keys (npub) & nsec-to-WIF importing in Electrum (no prefix for p2pkh import & prefix "p2wpkh:" for that type)
