I'm old enough to remember BitMessage. I think it's clear Nostr DMs are way better.

Bitmessage was awesome actually, I used it too 😉
I used it because someone snatched my namecoin domains after expiry and left a bitmessage address associated with the names. I contacted him and he agreed to atomically swap the names back to me for X NMC. It worked and I had fun. But now my names are gone again...
The last time I used it was during the false pandemic.
Don't remember BitMessage, but Nostr DMs need some improvement, even if they are better. Many clients haven't even added NIP-17 support yet, and are still only using the deprecated NIP-04...
What's a Nostr DM?
Asking because clients are unsure about the identity of a dm.
Are Nostr DMs quantum resistant?
Awful use of a blockchain it was.
Nostr DM's are a mess too though.
