I agree. The only thing I’d add here is that we have to do it properly and not hastily. Given our history with DMs, I think this is one area of Nostr that we need to fix, for real.

nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc Last year I compiled some ideas for a stealth nostr communication.

Cool. Thanks - I will have a look.
FWIW, I'm using MLS (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9420.html) for the messenger client I'm building right now.
Every DM should come with 12 SATS minimum. If someone wants me believe that they are a) a real person and b) not a scammer then I must be compensated for my time. It also would almost eliminate haters filling up your DM
Jason Lowery talked about the concept of “cost of attack” in his MIT thesis and he’s spot on. If you want to stop spammers and scammers then you have to make it too expensive for them to attack you.
Imagine making a controversial post and having tens of thousands of haters filling up your DM with shit comments about you but each one comes with SATS 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, this is 100% doable. Not even that hard.
This is an excellent idea!
But we need a white list, so that you can add friends and family.
Which brings us to the question what if someone changes his key pair and wants you to add his new key to the white list, or a family member who just joined nostr? How will he notify you?
dms platforms are the worst. For security they are the most closed, no web client-agnostic access, no apis, give us phone number and stick in our walled garden.
I recognize how "good" signal is, someway is the platform I hate most and want to leave.
But, imagine a world based on Nostr keys for identity (not phone or email) and relays as the servers in between. Relays know nothing about your or the comm, there's no lock in cause the client and the protocol are completely open source... We're nearly there.
Youre make me dreaming jeff, this is exactly what the world needs
