Is a nostrichās IP address revealed when reading notes? Or only when signing them?
Iād imagine most people would utilize KoalaSatsā contribution to watch an āorder bookā in real time, kind of like the now-defunct nostr:npub1kdkl4prkt7jmy8cdzdutqv8988vekl93nj4r25zpqpa5uacm9jkqnsjzq5, rather than actually to shop *on* nostr.
You make a good point though, that if a client is also an exchange tool, that could bring some heat in certain jurisdictions.
A lot of heat. Especially since itās not as obscure as bisq or robosats.

Yeah its more of a thought provoking exploration.
At one point nostr:npub1vtlqystr2056cqvuy8uehq5g757362029krqv5axw6gdw37kunkq7ajrhd was speaking of combining nostr as ID layer for a p2p protocol that robosats, bisq etc can all plug into.
I do remember that. Cool concept indeed.
But since nostrās Other Stuff has such broad/general potential, this could easily serve as a āview onlyā way to engage (ie filter by relay, market-feed, etc.) within an existing social/communications-focused client like Damus. That seems like a pretty straightforward feature/tweak on the existing setup.
Then, at the same time, one could potentially build a client that interfaces more deeply with these p2p exchanges.
nostr:npub1nje4ghpkjsxe5thcd4gdt3agl2usxyxv3xxyx39ul3xgytl5009q87l02j's point about unwanted attention is a good one, though, and while I tend to think that everything will ācome to nostrā eventually, it may not be in the protocolās favor to start with the use cases that specifically attract regulatory attention (ie finance/money/exchanges/ādefiā/etc), at least until its robust enough - and with a large enough user base - to withstand the pressure that comes with that sort of thing
p2p is tough enough as it is to make an excellent experience. Chances are the robosats and others 100% focused on this challenge will show focused other stuff apps is the way.
I will keep š open just in case there is easy way at the least to point where p2p happens on the network.
