I got it. My guess is that it’s a bug that has something to do with the nostr devs wiki article. I was mentioned in it and I think I got the DM around when the article was published.

Weird thing is I can’t find the DMs anymore

Oh, that's interesting. Explains why I started receiving the complaints a few days ago.

Which client do you use?

Damus, Primal, and Coracle mostly. IIRC I saw it on Damus.

Do you have the newest version installed?

Yeah v1.9 build 6

Damus will show dms it can’t decrypt for whatever reason. Not necessarily a bug, ive used this to find clients leaking tags accidentally

It confuses the users, though, because they can't seem to tell who sent the DM. And then they write the wrong person and it's like OMG someone is sending DMs from my npub. 😱

Would it be possible to catch that and display a clear message (DM from X could not be decrypted), or something?

Yeah we could make it a dev mode thing

BTW, this started up when my wiki devs page got some attention. Might just be someone sending the link to the wiki page, as it has my npub in the link.
