DM on Nostr is like chatting with others in a glass room on a square. Everyone can see who you chat with. Some people know you and some donβt. But it still feels weird to be watched by others who you are communicating with anytime, anywhere. How can I hide this part?
#Nostr
Canβt! Use other means! πΆπΎπ«‘
There is no hope at allπ€£πΆπ€
By design! Plus, if someone you are chatting with has their nsec compromised, all you conversations with that person will be open to the holder of nsec. I guess this part is already known and is no different from any other platform! πΆπΎπ«‘π
What about client-side encryption/decryption? Only send encoded text as the note
Then both people could have a passkey, and it would be like passing coded messages in 7th grade history
Create a new npub
This method can, can let the client to do this thing, want to private chat, randomly create a new account, chat after the abandonment.
Multi user clients might make this feasible
Is there a client implementation already? I haven't used it
It would also be helpful to have an option to optionally attach some signature from the parent account to prove your identity to the person you try to DM.
Otherwise, it would be lot of new npubs saying "Hi, I'm Michael Saylor, and here's a free Bitcoin"
