Might I propose "reusable address". I think that describes it best to any non-programmer, and even more so encourages wallets to present options as 'one time use' vs 'reusable'. It definitely packs a marketing punch which could help drive adoption. The feature is only useful if/when broadly adopted. I think it meets all the criteria required: - Communication between parties is a single message from the payee, which may be public - Multiple payments to the same address are not publicly linkable on the blockchain - The payee has explicitly designated they expect to receive more than one payment at that address - Payer can publicly prove they made a payment to the reusable address by revealing a secret I have high hopes for this feature. The war *against* address reuse may soon be a distant memory.
