🚨 NIP ALERT 🚨

After nearly a year of work, NIP 17 has been merged! This replaces NIP 04 direct messages with something incrementally better — it fixes much of the metadata leakage associated with NIP 04 messages. There is still work to be done to create better standards, but this is a huge leap forward.

well done, was there a reason to have a new nip instead of improve nip 04?

Yes, NIP 04 is terrible, it leaks sender/receiver, tags, message size, etc., plus the crypto is not audited.
