Can you elaborate what would you want to achieve? Are you trying to hide your identity from your interlocutors (e.g., gambling buddies), so that they wouldn't know you are John Doe?
a) yes, exactly this and b) where tf did you take "gambling" here?
Sorry, one person above made the example of the "gaming" buddies, I assumed it was gambling and it was a good use case for an example.
I see anyway, it indeed seems this is not a use-case for signal.
