Yes, but even if I use a dedicated wallet for on-chain zaps, I still need to fund that wallet somehow for future use — not every user earns sats directly on Nostr.

With a Lightning wallet, nobody can see the transaction flow outside the Nostr ecosystem. But with an on-chain wallet, I don`t have that option.

From my point of view, just because Lightning zaps aren`t perfectly private doesn`t mean I want something much worse and completely doxx my transaction flow to Nostr for the sake of convenience.

Also, as a user, I was able to control whether I wanted to receive zaps on Nostr or not at all (by setting or not setting a Lightning address in my Nostr profile, or changing it whenever I wanted). But by adding this feature (on-chain zaps), anybody can send funds to me against my will.
