But why it's still a good way to talk to friends privately and promisingly

Les DM ne sont pas privés d'après ce que j'ai compris depuis le début... Tout se garde sur nostr... Modifier et supprimer idem à moins de demander aux membres

I hear different opinions. We need a good cryptographer(s) to dig into this issue

You know nip44 went through a cryptographic audit and the current spec was written by Paul Miller, right?

I knew that it went through the audit but metadata was still leaking I saw Vitor was explaining the giftwrapp but it’s been added after the audit right ?

Nip44 is about as solid as we can reasonably get IMO. beyond that we’re into very complicated and difficult cryptography to ensure things like forward secrecy.

In any case, it’s a massive improvement over nip-04.

Yeah definitely better than nip-04 but I would still use simplex over the tor to be sure
