Iris now supports secret chats that don't leak metadata, implementing the https://hrfbounties.org/ bounty #3. It works also for group messaging.
It's a quick & dirty solution, but works. A shared nostr account is created for the secret chat / group. Its nsec can be shared via link, qr code or invite message from a single-use anonymous account.
Users can then communicate using the shared account's messages-to-self. Iris signs the inner messages with your own key, but the arrangement could be used for anonymous group messaging as well.
I'll also add inner message encryption at some point, so you can ensure that only certain group participants can read the message.
This arrangement doesn't introduce any new event kinds and works also in clients that haven't implemented a special UX for it. You can just log in with the nsec and message yourself.
I had to disable the Iris social graph filter to let invites through, so now Iris DMs are open to spam again, but I'll try to figure out a better solution.
As always, the UX needs a lot of attention, but I believe here's an MVP.
Screenshots:
Alice wants to message Bob:

Alice sends a secret chat invite to Bob:

Bob automatically follows the invite from Alice. They can now message each other in the secret chat:

Here's how the invite looks in another client. I will add an "nostr:ninvite" URI in addition to the nsec.

isn't it possible to just integrate simplex into nostr clients?
needs better marketers and educators in the muslim languages I guess.
and emotional state of openmindedness will help aswell.
but yeah would be a perfect fit.
democracy hoax.
have you read "everyday anarchy(stefan molyneux)" or "the order of freedom(Oliver Janich)"?
thanks for talking about this🙏@`basedlayer`
if we want to win the memewar, we need to learn from sales and marketing to gain mastery in orangepilling.
terrible, what fiat forces people into
BUT I know someone who got laid a lot while living in a van, he did it intentionally as a comfort challenge
nostr keys are the only thing you can actually OWN on the web.
everything else is just temporary possession permitted by government.
In the web app I don't see any three dots on profiles

thought you stopped drinking?😢
insane right?
my perception is that the network is getting ever closer to each other and more connected in new ways.
it's like finally finding home.
welcome back🙏
how can I block keys in primal? I prefer to not see "egirls"
for westerners nostr influencer income will probably not be enough, but venezuelan double minimum wage should be in it for her if she does a good job.
no worries, take your time:)goodreads on nostr would be epic aswell!
I can't wait for the moment when I can have systems thinking level dicussions about topics like Bitcoin etc with my kids. Witnessing their journey into the rabbithole and then surpassing my own horizons.
If your are interested about possible decentralized law systems on the bitcoin standard, I can highly recommend the book "The Order of Freedom" by Oliver Janich.
He argues straight from a-priori principles, especially the principle of the neutral judge.
It's a mindblowing and encouraging look into the future.
Matt being my spirit animal from the first moment I heard him on wbd in 2020, never disappoints.
