I woke up in the middle of the night and started thinking about deniable nostr notes, notes that do not have a signature so you can’t prove someone actually wrote it if it gets leaked from a private relay.

The idea is simple: you use your key to AUTH when connecting, after doing that, all notes sent are unsigned. The relay can verify its you but notes sent afterward have no signatures.

This is a “trusted” relay mode, no clients can know for sure if the person wrote said notes, but said persons get deniability if the data leaks. The notes are also protected from rebroadcasting to public relays because there are no signatures.

I wonder if anyone is interested in something like this? As long as it’s very clear on the UI that the notes are not verified?

How would they be discoverable?

They would still have a pubkey author, just not a sig, so you can't prove the authorship and it might be forged; you have to trust that the relay isn't lying.
