Load what is published

The published record is public. Load does not need the secret.

Silent payment address

Lightning offer _optional_Leave it to keep what is already published after you load. Clear the field to take `lno` off the record.

Cashu request _optional_A request with a transport (Nostr or HTTP) is scan-and-pay. A mint URL is in-band: they make tokens for you to take. We do not run a mint.

**List my name publicly**Off unless you tick it. Directory only. Not your address.

Recovery secretShown once when you claimed. We do not have a copy. Load does not need it.
