I agree lots of things are bad now. But that's why we have smart folks like all of you working on freedom tech, and everyone is learning and moving quickly!
What do you mean by "not trying to fool users into thinking that zaps can ever be private"
(My question isn't about whether zaps are on or off the chain; it's a general question about "zaps")
Essentially by definition, a zap is a public announcement that A has sent X sats to B
Maybe you're saying something like this: "Given the constraint that the above announcement will be public, we want to optimize everything else (privacy, ease of use [especially for noobs], ...)"
