NOSTR

Privacy on Relays

Your internet protocol (IP) address is exposed to the relays you connect to. If you want to improve your privacy, consider utilizing a service that masks your IP address (e.g. a VPN) from trackers online.

The relay also learns which public keys you are requesting, meaning your public key will be tied to your IP address.

Relays have all your data in raw text. They know your IP, your name, your location (guessed from IP), your pub key, all your contacts, and other relays, and can read every action you do (post, like, boost, quote, report, etc) with the exception of Private Zaps and Private DMs.

DM Privacy

While the content of direct messages (DMs) is only visible to you, and your DM nostr counterparty, everyone can see that and when you and your counterparty are DM-ing each other.

NOSTR is a privacy disaster.

There is a bunch of entities/people who aggregate your data, you have no possibility to manage them. You must relay only on someone's good will.

It's not a suprise when you realise that this place is endorsed by the former CEO of Twitter, when under his watch Twitter was well known from censorship, cooperation with 3 letter agencies and so on.

Why is NOSTR a Mecca of Bitcoin worshippers?

Because both have nothing in common with privacy.
