Have you heard anyone talking about ephemeral relays yet? I haven’t but it’s a concept that keeps coming to mind when I think about properly private messaging.
The idea being could you spin up a relay (somewhere safe) that would only live for the length of the conversation and only be accessible by the parties.
That could be cool. A short TTL container that spins up with a random relay and sets it for both parties with a specified duration for a "secret" conversation
When the TTL expiry is up, the container is shut down and all data wiped, with the secret conversation ceasing to exist. With some automation, I could see it being done.
Yeah – I haven't thought through the implementation (and it's obviously limited by how much you want to trust the infra provider where the relay lives) but it's a fun idea.
True, but if encrypted, shouldn't be able to decrypt.
The hardest part would be client integration. I can easily right a script to spin up new relays with random endpoint.
But configuring a client to allow setting PMs to using only the revolving relays would be troublesome.
That said, you could probably bake in all the rotating relays behind a single proxy endpoint like with this https://github.com/Dolu89/nostr-proxy
