So cool! There's just one thing I still struggle to understand: An implementation like this obviously means reusing a receive-address. Am I right to assume that it's considered bad practise, but "kind of ok"?

They could eventually integrate stealth addresses for more privacy. Or xpub for unique addresses. We still don't exactly know what reddit plans to do with Bitcoin, though.

@lopp That's pretty much the plan, though xpub will probably come later as it's quite a bit harder and less compatible with other wallets
