🧪 Homomorphic Encryption over Nostr — Proof of Concept
Simulated a lightweight Nostr relay using WebSockets + a custom event kind 555 to send/aggregate homomorphically encrypted integers.
Paillier scheme, local clients, fully async, dumb relay.
Built it to explore encrypted coordination on top of Nostr.
