Take a moment today to remember that Keonne Rodriguez turned himself into prison. Where he’ll stay for the next 5 years. For writing open source privacy software.

Old Nostr DM (NIP-4) integrates four capabilities into a single Nostr key—it serves as an ID, an encryption key, a receiving address, and a sending address.

The encryption key in NIP-4 does not change, so NIP-4 messages lack both forward secrecy and backward secrecy.

Consequently, if the private key is compromised, both historical and future messages can be exposed.

The receiving and sending addresses remain constant, which poses a severe issue for metadata privacy in NIP-4 messages;

Everyone can see who (ID) is sending messages to whom (ID).

Currently, most Nostr apps use NIP-4 for DM functionalities, such as Damus and Primal.

New Nostr DM (NIP-17) integrates three capabilities into a single Nostr key—it serves as an ID, an encryption key, and a receiving address.

Kind-17 separates the sending address from the ID, making the sending address random and concealing the sender's real ID, thus improving metadata privacy.

The encryption key in NIP-17 does not change, so NIP-17 messages also lack forward secrecy and backward secrecy. Once the private key is leaked, both historical and future messages will be compromised.

The receiving address remains constant, so there is still a slight issue with metadata privacy in NIP-17 messages; everyone can see who (ID) is receiving messages.

Apps like 0xchat and Amethyst use NIP-17 to implement DM functionalities.

——————————————————————————————————————

In Keychat, the ID, encryption key, receiving address, and sending address are separated.

The encryption key, the receiving address, and the sending address are updated independently and continuously.

Keychat's encryption key is derived using the Signal protocol, and each message uses a unique encryption key, which is deleted after use.

Thus, Keychat messages have both forward secrecy and backward secrecy. Even if an encryption key is compromised, only the current message can be leaked, and historical and future messages remain secure.

Keychat's sending address is randomly generated for each message.

Therefore, external parties do not know the sender's ID.

Keychat's receiving address is derived using the Signal protocol, with almost every message using a unique receiving address.

Thus, external parties do not know the receiver's ID.

——————————————————————————————————————

However, it's important to emphasize that NIP-4 and NIP-17 offer superior multi-device synchronization capabilities because they integrate three capabilities into a single Nostr key—it serves as an ID, an encryption key, and a receiving address.

The truth is that Nostr has been a failure so far. Few active participants, empty groups, and it keeps declining. This will only change if Nostr becomes easier to use, forms strategic partnerships, and attracts some celebrities and their fans.

it has a dogwater mediatek soc. no thank you.

Solid take. The cycles rhyme, the suits play their game… but Bitcoin keeps doing Bitcoin. Halving after halving, supply goes down, conviction goes up. Their ‘playbook’ might stay the same, but so does our edge: self-custody and time in the network. 🔥🧡⚡️ Just my 2 sats back.

What is happening to #Bitcoin?

For days on end, everyone is looking for a “single cause” for Bitcoin’s decline. But let’s accept that this is more than just a news story. This is a “systemic collapse.” In fact, a simultaneous and secondary factor is reinforcing the downward trend.

🔽The narrative that drove Bitcoin to $126,000 is no more!

The price rise from $40,000 to $126,000 was built on a single story:

“The cycle of interest rate cuts + institutional investors entering via ETFs, leading to a bullish trend.”

But now the Federal Reserve has changed its tune a bit, and that was enough to reduce the likelihood of exploitation from 90% to 40%, leaving the real yield at 5%!

That is, the narrative that the market loved is gone.

🔽ETFs that, instead of attracting money, opened the way for institutional investors to leave.

ETFs were supposed to bring smart money into the market. But the moment the macroeconomic conditions changed, the same smart money was withdrawn with just one click.

Over the past few days, more than $1.1 million in capital outflows have been recorded. It cannot be said that it was a professional move, it was completely natural and based on the rebalancing of fund managers.

🔽Long-term holders took their profits!

Those who bought between $40,000 and $80,000 sold 815,000 Bitcoins in the past 30 days. It was not out of fear, but a purely tactical decision:

Why take the risk of volatility when you are in profit by 50-150%?

🔽Last shot: Technical decline + cascade liquidations

When $100,000 was lost, stops were activated. In October and November, more than $20 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated. Several days, $3.2 billion in just one day!

In fact, the market entered a “self-reinforcing loop.”

⚠️But the most important fact: there is no

Let’s be honest:

🔻Institutionals are reducing.

🔻Long-term holders are waiting for lower prices.

🔻Retail investors are really scared.

🔻And new downloads are not coming in until the leverage is completely eliminated.

✔️The market needs to reach a level where we can clearly see the leverage being cleared or de-leveraging. Long-term holders will start accumulating again and will really be convinced that Bitcoin has value.

Let’s put it this way: Now the market needs to adjust to reality:

High yields, strong dollar, no interest rate cuts.

Wait for new policies and strategies.

⚡️🧠 NEW - According to a new study, consuming too much TikTok or Instagram content “rots” your brain, as constant short-form video scrolling affects cognitive performance

The study draws on data from 98,299 participants across 71 separate papers to examine how TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and similar platforms affect viewers across different age groups.

“the bitcoin bottom is at 58k”

Mother of GOD 👀

Good morning!

It’s so over 😅

⚡ What Drives You on Nostr?

In one hand you have infinite supply of fiat money, in the other you have the hardest money ever man to man.

When you look at it like this, throwing every fiat dollar you have at Bitcoin is easy. Bear markets don’t mean shit. Look at the big chart from 2009 to 2025, Bitcoin has never been in a bear market.

I bet most people don’t realize that the movie "Dune," especially "Dune 2," isn’t about the origin of the Messiah (they call him "Mahdi" in it), but more about the origin of the Dajjál, the Antichrist. I bet not even the actors are aware of it.

Hollywood just has to pervert every narrative or tell it from the wrong angle or glorify evil. These people actually believe in good and evil, in God and the Devil. They think only the Devil will win in the end, that’s their problem, and they try to convince the whole world of it. That’s how an occultist explained it to me once.
