Nobody warned me that @Dusk_Foundation has TWO addresses for the SAME wallet and picking the wrong one is a whole thing 💀
Phoenix address = shielded, private, the whole point of Dusk. Moonlight address = public, basically an Ethereum-style account. same wallet, two totally different transaction types, and the app expects you to know which one you actually want before you send.
send to the wrong one and your "private" balance is now sitting in a public account looking exactly like every other transparent chain. nothing broke, nothing got lost, it's just... not private anymore. and you don't find out unless you actually check which address type you copied.
what gets me is this is Dusk's entire pitch. privacy where you need it, transparency where you don't. but that only works if the person sending the transaction actually understands the difference, and right now that's on the user, not the protocol.
not saying it's bad design. saying "compliance ready privacy chain" and "intuitive enough for someone bridging from MetaMask" are two different design goals and Dusk is trying to hit both at once.

Curious which one you think matters more right now:
