I’m working on the problem from another direction.

IMHO, Nostr isn’t the right platform for this because it doesn’t guarantee IP privacy.

I expect devs will be increasingly persecuted in the future. There needs to be a system that devs can use to publish code pseudonymously - with IP privacy by default. Other devs should be able to subscribe and access code privately by default too.

I’m not specifically chasing the bounty so I’m happy others are working on it. I’m hopeful we can learn and improve the options available to protect devs.

Unless you are talking about intellectual property ... nip34 or ngit should work using separate npubs via VPNs or TOR. What am I missing?

Yes, all what's proposed is for brutally transparent development, only but you can hide your ID.

If IP privacy is optional then it doesn’t really exist. Maybe you’ll reuse the same npub in another insecure client. Maybe you’ll forget to reenable the proxy selection after testing. Eventually a opsec mistake will be made and you’ll dox your entire history.

Brutally transparent development is fine. My perspective is that you shouldn’t be responsible for privacy. It should be fundamentally built into the platform — always on.

Nostr is great for random social chat but privacy is an afterthought.

IMHO not suitable for secure private software development.
