curious... applying this concept to a note that an author wants to publish without attribution of them being OP.
how trivial/easy would it be to analyse relay traffic to identify the first note that used your relay resigner?
Short history of a little crazy, and experimental relay: wss://mix.gzuuu.xyz
Last night, I was floating through cyberspace when an idea struck me. A note mixer relay - a simple yet intriguing concept. Essentially, it's a relay that accepts your notes, but instead of store them, it re-signs them with the relay's keys, effectively anonymizing and mixing your notes. This is the npub I'm using for this and where all mixed notes are published nostr:nprofile1qqs80keaa6v84ldnkne66q0qf96rvtf84aj27taw25x3appz83lqspgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp07t6hp6 .
This idea isn't entirely new, there was some exploration around group of people sharing an nsec. This is the case of nostr:nprofile1qqswgh9y2cz5qu5upzg5yn47m65t7d697k2dtufa9fq54af80dwng5sprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezucmgv95k6cfwd9hxvme0qyw8wumn8ghj7cn0wd68ytn0wfskuem9wdukuceww3jkx6p0ksrqpx, for example, it was created during sec01.
In summary, this note mixer relay will accept your notes, re-sign them with the relay's keys, and then publish them. Does this idea interest you, or does it make sense? Currently, anyone can publish to the relay, but I plan to implement a whitelist for pubkeys based on my contact list. This could also be integrated with a wot relay, allowing you to mix notes from your friends or entire social graph. Perhaps there are some interesting use cases to explore? 🤔
Just a heads up: be careful not to publish to multiple relays, as this will leak your original note, signed by you.
Discussion
What you mean? First note ever published or just op notes? But in general, all the notes you sent to the relay gets resigned, only the relay can correlate notes and authors (not in this case) but you always can use a ephemeral key to publish, at least if the mixer relay is public and doesn't have a whitelist
