Yeah. I didn’t go into any detail on how clients will store messages they receive. The other part that isn’t in the nip but is possible is how to do syncing across different devices.

Basically each device/user combo represents an inbox that is tracking its own copy of the conversation (each device/user combo uses completely different keys)

I guess we need some mechanism for adding devices and sending messages to each device/key. Curious how signal does this.

I linked to a signal doc in the NIP that goes into detail on how they do it. I’m pretty sure we can do it with a parameterized replaceable event. I’ll start digging into that soon.

Glad you guys are already talking about this. I hope there’s a solution that can make its way into the NIP itself. Using Negentropy on the client side to sync the missing DMs is intriguing. nostr:note1ul48nsqgw5lmsqmec8tajx8tx6mh78jmtgfqv86v74h4el8us84s8hwajd
