It depends on what do you consider "safe".

Facts:

1. Blowater still leaks meta data such as receivers and date because it's a standard kind-4.

2. I have setup of a dedicated relay for Blowater to partially mitigate the issue.

Thoughts:

1. warpped event by nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9rhwden5te0wfjkcctev93xcefwdaexwtcpr3mhxue69uhkx6rjd9ehgurfd3kzumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tctty609 and kind-44 by nostr:nprofile1qqs8evfumcr8pevs7qkta84qlnc7qhkmchxg5syhx8a9gdjyqxqu78gpremhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnhd9ex2erwv46zu6ns9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0prq7gu will address 80-90% of the privacy & security issue.

2. I believe privacy aware relays can help as well. nostr:nprofile1qqsrmpp2lmx4u2fl9zmxy7fnwp9rlwxwz5a2j8tep2c376n494z2gtgpr9mhxue69uhhwetvvdhk6efwdehhxarj9emkjmn99uq3samnwvaz7tmrv4kxcctj9ehx7um5wgh8w6twv5hszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99uyxr2z8

Plans:

1. Performance

Besides privacy & encryption security, there are also huge performance issue with encrypted events over Nostr in general. Most of my effort for the past half a year has been put into performance.

Event syncing solutions such as Negentropy by Strfry or by nostr: npub1h0rnetjp2qka44ayzyjcdh90gs3gzrtq4f94033heng6w34s0pzq2yfv0g are necessary for DMs to perform well.

It's not a pure client problem.

I need to experiment with both solutions and see which one is good. But in the future, Blowater will only communicate with relays that supports efficient syncing algorithms.

2. Privacy

I am not sure if privacy is more urgent than DM performance at this point. It is necessary for sure. But I plan to visit it after the performance is at least acceptable for 10K DMs per device.

Our team has nostr:nprofile1qqs2mvf775w8q882vwuza4ql22yr387yq50ppvfup0l6wlnav8yed0gpremhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnhd9ex2erwv46zu6ns9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0xdzaag so he can work on privacy while I work on performance for sure. But we just have a lot to do.

For the near future (3 months), a dedicated relay might address 70% of the problems.

That been said, your concerns have been thought by our team many times and we will gradually work towards there.

btw what relay code works best ? nostream, strfry, py_nostr_relay

I am using strfry. But I don't have experience with other relays so I can't recommend
