Hi ZmnSCPxj,
Yeah, although I see the added value of a feature like this I completely understand your reasoning.
> It is difficult to regain privacy if the base layer is nonprivate.
Sure, people and corporations would probably find multiple ways to abuse this or to turn this into the only way to make LN payments.
The problem of moving some of this stuff to the hardware of the user is the lack of standardisation. I don’t know if there’s any wallet that currently does this kind of stuff. I’m not even sure if wallets should do it.
Or if other Apps should be given access to pre-images of LN payments.
I guess that I was expecting that a replacement for email/password as authentication method could finally come from something I’m hopping will be as pervasive as email addresses :)
Anyway, authentication might be completely out of scope here.
Thank you,
João Joyce
