Yeah, quite some progress! I’m preparing a full client dedicated to private DMs. It will ship originally with regular NIP-04 support, and my plan is to support a range of extensions and alternatives. There is no shortage of interesting ideas to improve DMs on Nostr, incognito DMs being pretty good. What we need now is just a client or set of clients that act as a testing ground for these ideas: bring real users to stress test the different ideas and find what works and what doesn’t.
My current thoughts on Incognito DMs/wrapped DMs is that I think the wrapped private events are a great idea that will likely be a core part of whatever the final system is, so that’s staying. But I’m not entirely sure about disposable identities/ephemeral pubkeys anymore. They are very simple conceptually, but they don’t play well with relays. Relays want real pubkeys, they want to know things are not spam. So I think the idea needs more work, but generally I’m optimistic that we can definitely find some system that both works with relays and preserves privacy.
