#[6] if you’re a fan of the idea I’d be more than happy to make a pull request to Damus with an implementation of it. Can be opt-in, like a long press on the send button gives you an option to upgrade your DM to an incognito DM
Less than a day left to vote on our submission to the #Nostropical hackathon. Here’s #[1] and I at 2am at Awake brainstorming our private DMs project (📸#[2])
You can vote by liking this post from #[3]: #[4]
What’s the Nostr build API for uploading video? You make a PUT request with the video file?
I wrote a post inspired by the work that #[0] and #[1] did during the #nostropical hackathon after #nostrica. section “approach 3” documents their approach.

Here’s a video demo of “Incognito Direct Messages” - showing a forked version of Hamstr that can send private NIP-04 DMs where no metadata is leaked to the public (no more inbox peeking).
#[0] #[1] and myself developed this as part of the Nostr Hackathon organised by Hard Yaka, Universal Names and #[2].
The main idea was developed by Anton and #[3] (developer of Hamstr.to). The essential idea is to create new disposable identities for each conversation you create, you exchange these identities with your peer secretly, and then the entire conversation takes place away from your public identity. It’s very simple, it works, there are some weaknesses (you have to trust relays), but it’s a step in the right direction.
If you want to dig into the code (beware it’s *hackathon* code):

Anton and I are trying to formalise our work into a standard NIP. Here’s what we’ve got so far. If you want to chime in and help formalise it, please do! Issues and pull requests welcome:

Once the NIP is formalised we’ll also build a standard helper library for web clients:

We’re very serious about getting this out into clients

Stewart Bowman of https://Satellite.earth
Is demoing a NIP for a media type for content addressable media using torrent links / web torrents.
He’s demoing a working implementation:

Do you have an npub for Stewart?
And then imagine timestamped replies mmm. Could become a lil audio-only subculture in the nostrverse
I would love Nostr voice notes honestly
Testing .ts video files: https://bartholomewjoyce.com/hls/video.ts
Yeah, I don’t think many relays support note deletion yet 😬 it’s rough out here
Two months later and I’m still slowly making my way through it. Incredible reading experience so far
Do relays reject notes that have non-standard tag fields?
#[0] #[1] Question about transport in Uvita: I’m arranging transport during my stay for Nostrica. Is a fourwheel drive recommended during this season to drive around in Uvita? Or will a regular car be fine? Thanks!
Hello, I’d love to try!
DKIM, SPF and DMARC all serve to prevent account spoofing, which isn’t a problem for Nostr and it’s priv/pub keys. The real problem is the opaque structure of mail providers, each with different spam filter mechanisms and preferential treatment towards “safe” origins (gmail, apple, microsoft, aws ses, etc…) encouraging a closed system
The mention of more followers = more broadcasting is interesting. If one user has so many followers that their bandwidth alone is costing the relay more than the relay is getting from them, they might have to pay more to be broadcast. Opens up a whole discussion on whether the cost of bandwidth and compute should be covered by the creators or by their followers. I can imagine all sorts of different setups emerging quite naturally
