Yeah but Monero’s ring signatures select random transactions to use as decoys. If transactions (even if intended to be public) are ruled out as the potential sender, it hurts Monero’s privacy at a rate directly proportional to how popular the nostr zap is. Think about it, if 90% of transactions are nostr zaps, then the 10% of “private” transactions then it's badly hurt.
