So it's easy to +imagine that the GUI text input presented to users can be called +"invoice" and users can put both kinds of invoices there leaving the +wallet to easily figure out whether it makes an on-chain transaction or +a Lightning Network transaction. + +Changing a commonly-used name like this could be very hard, but the +gains in terms of privacy are immense. + +On 05/10/2019 22:57, Emil Engler via bitcoin-dev wrote: +> Hello dear mailing list subscribers. +> Before I'll explain my idea here, I need to define a term first +> +> 'address': +> When I use the terms address, pubkey, etc., I mean the same: The Base58 +> string +> +> Ok now let's get into it: +> As you should know, sending bitcoins to an address more than once is a +> very bad approach. +> In my opinion the problem why so many people are still doing this is +> because of the term 'address' which is used in lots of wallets, +> implementations, BIP 21 and so on.
