I'm definitely on board with sending whisper keys to the recipient via nostr. It would be a bit of spam though for any popular site because most whisper keys will never be used. But I can make a toggle when generating your linking key to "turn on nostr backup" or similar, where you put in your nostr pubkey and then your site will send an encrypted message to you every time someone generates a whisper key on your website.
You could also put the sender instantiation behind a "generate" button to avoid creating a nostr message for every page load. I want to avoid spamming nostr as well but luckily the traffic will be coming from the client so relay anti-spam prevention can be applied.

Putting address generation behind a generate button is a very good idea. I'll have to change the template message too. Instead of "you received money" it will have to say "maybe you received money" or similar.

you’re paying for it, so it’s not spam. more like a normal message delivery service. i would hope that encrypted payloads become more common on nostr tbh.
reply
Nostr payloads are not currently charged for, they are free. So you're not paying for them.
reply
Node operators don’t charge yet only because nobody implemented a good / easy UX around it. But there is at least one node they implemented a lightning invoice for access to their node.
I think the point (at least what makes it appealing to me) is that NOSTR nodes can provide transparent business models.

yes I fully agree
