Is there a possibility to add some sort of a layer of security to the DMs on Nostr.

Let’s say, for whatever reason, my nsec got leaked and is now out there.

Currently, in this case, all of the chats that I’ve ever had in private are open for eveybody to see.

My general assumption with all chats online, encrypted or otherwise, is that they are all potentially vulnerable.

I've also experienced accidentally replying publicly to a DM. This can happen if you're a silly goose like me, using #amethyst and clicking on the notification tab rather than the DM tab and replying. Luckily this seems to only show your side of the reply and not what you're replying to. But still. Not sure if @vitor has seen this or what not, tho. πŸ€”

Good question πŸ«‚

I think this is one of the most important #nostr issues. Good news: There are people working on it!

Absolutely amazing news buddy πŸ«‚πŸ’œ Thank you so much for letting me know 🫢

You're welcome. It's a major privacy concern, but not really anyone's fault. Hopefully, we'll be able to delete old DMs in the future too.
