Hmm. But I can at least know who exchange message with whom, how often, when the first exchange is, when the last exchange is.
Pretty useful stuff for interogator

I would always favor an anon account for myself, reading my DM exchanges will count for nothing but serve the curious.

Ya. But that may not work for people that have made a name for themselves on their non anon account.
Making anon account mean starting from 0 to build reputation again for those people.
Perhaps just don't use nostr for DMs then.
Is keet.io good for that #[11] ? Wdyt?
I have tried it on mobile but i have been having issues with creating rooms, the links i shared never seemed to work. However, i believe holepunch is the way for private comms. Will give it another try.
My view on anon accounts, i will always have one as we do not yet comprehend the value of Bitcoin.

I still don't understand why we can't just do DMs a bit differently. I know it's new and not time to do it yet, but wouldn't this work?
1. Send a DM of some particular format, which basically just says "If you want to initiate a DM with me, reach me at npub
2. Client derives the new anon npub based on some derivation path, or based on the npub(s) that will be party to do the DM, something like that
3. Recipients client does similar, and sends the message with secret code
4. Both clients use and sign messages under these anon npubs in the DM
Rest of network will only see 1 message from A to B, and will not see any further messages from either party, and will not be able to connect A or B to the derived npubs.
Is this a permanent thing that can't be changed on Nostr. Or can this be adjusted?
