My dream decentralized social network would look like this:

1. Like #Nostr, notes would be stored on relays

2. Notes have a sender and a receiver, the sender information is encrypted

3. Note content is encrypted

4. Posting something, sends it encrypted to all followers (their relays)

5. All communication is based on IP, no domains

6. Notes are deleted after 30 days, unless explicitly marked as important by the receiver

7. Instead of #Bitcoin, the recommended payment would be #Monero

I would love to implement this 😁

Are you a software deceloper? You have a good insight into how the protocol works.

Thank you 😁, yes I am a web developer.

1-4. Sounds like private profiles, which a NIP is being worked on, I remember seeing Viktor from Amethyst mention it.

5. Pretty sure I heard something like that on Nostr, using a modified version of IPFS I think.

6. That can be done, by connecting only to relays that would follow those rules and have that option, though I'm not sure there's a provable way to know they actually deleted it.

7. The Monero community could build a client with that, nothing is stopping them. Though I'm not sure how/if Monero can handle micro-payments like LN. Calle is working on Fedimint Lightning enabled zaps for Nostr, which is a possible more private alternative with obviously some trade offs in federated custody - which is already better imo than fully custodial Lightning like WoS to handle stupid-tiny amounts of Satoshis.

That's the beauty of Nostr, anyone can create whatever they wish however they want to on top of it 🤙💜

Thank you for the comprehensive answer :). Yes i am following on Nostr's progress regarding private notes related NIPs. But I still think it makes sense to in parallel implement an architecture solely for the encrypted social network, as this limits the technological tradeoffs one has to accept 😅.

New bounty for a Monero Nostr client recently dropped.
