I don't seek privacy.

I know that some of you do, and I want to support that, but I don't need it. I have a DNS record that ties an IP address to my legal name. Anything done by that IP address is, well, obviously me. If relays on nostr can associate my public key with my IP address, I really don't give a flying fuck. I am not engaging in illegal behavior (at least not knowingly) and I will happily comply with law enforcement should they think that I am. Trying to protect myself from all possible outcomes is I think a sign of paranoia. YES the government is wrong sometimes and oppressive sometimes and who knows what might happen. The general trends are worrying. But I address that by pushing for change, and by producing legal technology that helps push for change.

I understand some of you are fighting against evil top down systems of oppression via fiat currencies, and in doing so you are making yourselves targets, and are being anonymous so you can fight harder. That's fine, and I'll support privacy where I can. But this is not my personal battle. My battle is for free speech, a battlefield on which I don't have to be anonymous to fight with full ferocity.

So please appreciate the work I put into helping you maintain your privacy (gossip security, gossip relay privacy controls, etc) because I didn't need any of that for myself, that was 100% for you guys. And in doing so, don't mock my opsec or belittle my client just because it doesn't do things exactly the way you think it should do things.

it is same for 99% on rest using any registered ISP line mobile or fixed. excluding public wifi (which also collect IMEI or other IDs that can still be traced will some effort) In other word mojority of nostr users ARE NOT ANONYMOUS when logs are collected n traced.

just 1% to 5% who takes extra precautions on every session liek Snowden do r probably a bit of private

Or you have a VPN running and restart your phone and forget to turn it back on.

wireguard vpn client always resumes the connection

in my case also the DNS registration connects to me but that is withheld from the general public... the spooks and pigs can know it without any court procedure

if privacy is important you simply need to use a big userbase VPN or tor

i'd care more about privacy of my signals if there was any decently credible VPN system in the world but i am pretty sure most are too small, and i include tor in that
