Stackers can use SN however they please. I don't really see a big difference between attaching a wallet and not.
Just as, if a user wants to remain @anon and never create an account, they are welcome to do so.
I'll happily add a spending wallet, but honestly I'm just a little confused about all this. Like why do I have to enter my entire passphrase to see my wallet credentials? This seems so cumbersome
What happens if I reset my passphrase? Do I lose any sats? The warning isn't clear
you don't lose sats. resetting your passphrase deletes the info about your sending wallet. This doesn't do anything to whatever wallet you have connected, it just makes it so you can't use that wallet to spend sats on SN until you reconnect it.
Again, it's a safety measure for your spending wallets that you attach. The goal is to make sure that if someone hacks your SN account, they can't grab your spending wallet too.
which wallets are able to send? This should be clearly marked when you go to add a wallet.
I do not see why you would lose any sats but I am not an expert on that- maybe @Scoresby knows?
As long as you can reset passphrase and maintain access to account it should be fine.
Correct.
Your wallet settings are password protected for obvious reasons of security and to add a sending wallet you need to verify who you are just as you would have done when you attached your receiving wallet.
The vast majority of SNs regulars have attached both sending and receiving wallets and thus actively supports SNs, LN, Bitcoin development and censorship resistance.
Of course people can and will do as they please - but if people are posturing to be BTC Maxi and much of their content is about advancing the LN and Bitcoin then if they do not show LN wallets attached then they are looking a lot like hypocrits because-
If you dont have an attached sending wallet and do not manually send a zap via LN then the SNs payment system will tend to send CCs, not sats, much more often because without a sending wallet SNs will automatically prioritise sending CCs.
If however you attach a sending wallet then your use of LN and sats will be maximised automatically and importantly all other SNs users and content consumers will have verification that you have set up to maximise your use of LN and sats.
With only a receiving wallet attached it is impossible for others to know if you are maximising your support of the LN or not . . . without you showing a gun they can reasonably assume you are most likely not.
Showing a sending wallet verifies to all others that you are maximising your use of and support for sats and LN.
So where content providers look a lot like hypocrits people are less likely to zap them and may even downzap them.
My question was directly related to Christian values and connects them with the OPs wallet status.
The ethos of Bitcoin is closely aligned to that of Christian values.
As a Christian is it better to give or to take?
Why don't you have a giving wallet attached?

Thank you but to zap you must manually pay via LN using the LN code or QR.
