Removed my private relay from this account. Just realised that people can use my public key to see the data in setting, including what relays you added.
So it is hard to keep relay in private?
Discussion
in that case, you'll want to use a client that let's you post to your private relay, but doesn't store it in your kind0 metadata
if you download and run your own instance of alphaama, you can hardcode your relay and post from there
maybe I should add an option to add relays to your storage, so it doesn't get leaked
Any relay on the internet is not private. I access mine over wireguard. But once we have encrypted notes you can do interesting things like private relay backups, private contact lists, private block lists, etc.
but we do have encrypted notes don't we? Nip04
Those aren’t encrypted notes, those are encrypted text DMs
I'm a bit confused about the difference. Does it have to do the fact that nip04 notes use asymmetric encryption? Would encrypted notes use symmetric encryption instead?
nip04 is meant for encrypted text content (DMs), not arbitrary notes. The encryption doesn't cover tags or kinds. With encrypted notes you could send private likes, retweets, posts, etc.
