Thanks so much! This is amazing. We’ve kept going with the project and are actively working on a NIP as well as a library for making it easy to add incognito messages to clients.

Separately we’re building a demo client for people to test out incognito messages!

Here’s a link to our NIP-31: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/410

We won the community vote for the #nostropical hackathon which happened after #nostrica. Thanks for the support everyone!

Our work on incognito (private) DMs continues!

Congrats to the Incognito team, your project really is pretty cool.

Also thanks to nos for the second prize, really appreciate it.

hm ok, this was supposed to be a reply to #[3]. I either misunderstood the gossip UI or it was a bug.

So yeah, the U in BUGS is me. Just wanted to personally apologize for the error. It was a really stupid error and I several lessons about how to do this better in the future. For anyone who is curious, the specific bug is that I counted votes as "kind 7 events where any etag references this note" when it should have been "kind 7 events where *the last* etag references this note". The script I used to calculate the events is published here for auditing and in case anyone else wants to try a voting process like this in the future.

In a weird way though I think this is a great example of how transparency and open systems are superior. We decided to do our community vote in the open on Nostr which hadn't been done before. Because the data was public nobody had to take our word for it and it let to the correct outcome in the end. I will be much more careful next time sats are on the line, but I'm going to keep dogfooding and learning at the bleeding edge of what Nostr can do! Thank you for being gracious #[1].
