i see, so at a certain point maybe you decide you want that comment to be an @anon comment? i think you could still receive the sats too, even if your name is not longer associated with it.

i think you could still receive the sats too, even if your name is not longer associated with it.

Wouldn't this have the potential to d0xx the anon though?

For instance, if I want to identify the anon, and feel that I've got it down to say ten possibilities, all I need to do is watch the Sat total of those ten Stackers, zap the comment/post a large amount, say 1k sats, and voilà - if their stack quickly rose whilst the others didn't - their anonymity has been uncovered.

i hear you.

it’s a bit of a hack so it doesn’t beat the privacy of posting from @anon right away… but maybe there’s still value in it for a subset of stackers.
