Do we have an NIP for encrypted images/videos in a DM? Only the two people in the chat should be able to decrypt the image.
Do image hosts even take encrypted files?
Discussion
Are DMs actually direct?
Perhaps the relay-layer connection should just be to establish a shared encrypted "direct" (tcpip) connection
No, msgs go through relays, but encrypted.
Boa ideia, bora, vá em frente nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z.
I worked on a project that did this from 2015 to 2019.
Can store encrypted files in S3 or any file host, but would need clients to understand how to encrypt/decrypt. Using encrypted DM, we can convey necessary secrets to decrypt that only the two parties would have. Once decrypted nothing prevents them from saving local to share so it's not DRM, but it's very doable for both static files and video with seek support. Starting point here is defining the NIP standard
