Analyzing Chat Encryption in Group Messaging - Real World Crypto (RWC) 2025
I DMed you using Primal (which still uses NIP-04 I think), not sure if you can see it
Hey 👋
Let's have a private chat? I'm about to go to bed so I can talk to you tomorrow, but let me know whatever medium you prefer for DMs, I'll text you there
If you run a web development agency or are a freelancer in the US, EU, or UAE, ping me here or on Signal at basantagoswami.33
I run my own small agency here in India and looking for collabs on projects with other Bitcoiners
Fellow nostriches, any help in getting us connected will be appreciated 💜
What do you have in mind? We can upload any docs to blossom and sign a note with the URL
Came back to nostr:npub1x0h85ugdd0kwwlqmf3sayngd4mmph7szps6myjc020v3ede59ljq3jehv0 to a fun little surprise today. Ecash in the wild. Cool designs nostr:npub1vgm8uwmqfeeqlpd65wy8w3wahuyh22u4lgujkr6z78aw7ejh9swsrcla2l

Nostr apps distributed via Zapstore are the real dApps (or nApps?
Wow nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc you've really changed, is this what John Vervaeke would want?
lay off the acid gigi
Relays should have npubs too. Gets rid of reliance on DNS and TLS
Won't you like to finance the rent payments using their DeFi dApp too?
Nip-17 messages as :mail: Mails.

So many UX issues, fixed.
Primarily I use these tools for private communication:
1. Mail
For talking about a single topic at a time, threads in Discord server messages also kinda work for this thing. Different messages from the same user are treated as different matters. I need to be able to always have access to old conversations done in this way. NIP-17 seems ideal for this
2. Private DMs
I use WhatsApp and Signal etc for talking to people that I know. WhatsApp "feels" ideal in this case, because your identifier (phone number) is also a private matter. Here, I would like as much privacy as I can get, so NIP-EE (MLS) stuff seems ideal. I don't even necessarily want a single identifier for an app like this. I would much rather have a different identifier (I think SimpleX does that) for each person that I am talking to
3. Public Inbox
My Instagram, Twitter, Telegram and Nostr DMs are open for people to reach out to me, where I don't have to reply if I don't want to. Here my identifier is not a private matter. Most people also maintain two private/public mail IDs for the same reason. I would like to be able to go back and read all old messages here, so I think NIP-17 works better. A mail like UX won't feel right here.
4. Timely groups
I create or join a lot of groups on WhatsApp and Signal, for small timely topics like a discussion about a coming field trip with friends, or negotiation related to a freelancing project with the client. This can be better maintained via mail threads, but the only reason I prefer WhatsApp groups is because my mail accounts are full of spam, and conversations done in this way can be taken to a DM very quickly. Can't easily switch to a messaging mode in Gmail, and might miss something important. These also work as NIP-17 mails
5. Persistent groups
I join groups of Bitcoin communities etc, where I might not know or trust all the other participants. I wouldn't want to be directly reachable by other community members from these groups. I think I would prefer NIP-EE groups for this
The question is, how do you design all the UI/UX around all this stuff
You should return it, also helps to keep things simple. Instead of having to keep track of which ws client sent the event and then omitting it, just return it to all ws clients with subscriptions that match the filter

My gut feeling says things will get much worse. I have had a strong intuition about Indian society for a while now, and most of my visions have come true. You can't unedrstand this conflict without understanding the average Hindu's feelings about their own identity and their day to day relationship with Islam
And most of the times they turn out to be into "crypto"
Are their claims regarding their L2 Spark legit at least?
https://docs.spark.money/spark/spark-tldr
These claims seem way too good to be true, but if they managed to build what they claim, that would be at least one good thing coming out of this company
we need some kinda rate limiting algo feeds on nostr. i think damus notebook recently added a last post per person feed, so something like that
