When interacting with any new PayNym in Samourai Wallet, you will initially be met with the option to ‘Follow’. This option is completely free and takes place over the Tor based ‘Soroban’ communication layer built by the Samourai Developer team. This step allows you and any other PayNym you follow to collaborate using the suite of Cahoots transactions the wallet offers.
After you have followed a PayNym, you will see an option to ‘Connect’ to them for a 15,000 sat (+ miner) fee. This connection (also referred to as the notification transaction) is what facilitates the information sharing between the two wallets to enable them to generate their unique Bitcoin addresses. This step can put some people off, however, in the recently proposed update to BIP47, plans are in place to remove this on chain footprint requirement and subsequently remove the need for any connection fee. Yes
team provided bip47 integration that no other wallet implemented at the time and user pays fees it’s a service.
The Samourai team maintain the website paynym.is, which is a public directory of every nym claimed from a Samourai Wallet. This directory provides another easy way to share your ID. Simply append the paynym.is URL with your PayNym to find your Nym’s own web page like this paynym.is/+BQA.
