This feels really rushed. nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk should be considered a potential solution, but it's not even a NIP yet (unless I am missing something).
Bitcoin Bounty Challenge Update
HRF has determined that Iris secret chats by nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk partially
qualifies for bounty #3 (e2e encrypted nostr group chats) and will
receive 1 BTC of the reward 👏
The remaining 1 BTC is open to any popular nostr client that can
create e2e encrypted nostr group chats with an interoperable standard
via a merged NIP
Martti's submission with Iris did not qualify for the full bounty as
only Iris users can initiate a group chat
We are excited by all of the interest from around the world in this
bounty program and expect to make more announcements about claimed
bounties soon 😉

Bounties are a tricky thing. In the end we felt like they could be helpful in moving some features forward and that would be net a good thing. Martti has made some progress and has been rewarded with a partial bounty which reflects HRF’s judgement that it is a partial solution
It's ok. But I strongly recommend switching from whoever can provide the fastest claim to periodic reviews. The bounty program is up for 1 yr. You can do a review of all claims by December and another on by June, 2024. This will give you time to evaluate. Then, pick whoever got closer to the spirit of the bounty and the needs of HRF.
