Biro Bela on Nostr: There’s one thing I don’t quite understand about #Nostr. Everyone talks about ...
There’s one thing I don’t quite understand about #Nostr. Everyone talks about “privacy,” but at the same time, every zap is public — even Monero zaps. Shouldn’t that be something between me and the person I’m sending the zap to? To me, that’s what “private” means.
And it’s been like this from the very beginning. Only a handful of apps even give you the option to hide it.
Am I missing something here?
