no its more than that the media in notes needs to be addressed as hash ids and then relays or clients can decide the source

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.

why not adopt simplex or their methods for dms?

i think thru adoption new event kinds evolve the protocol allowing it to potentially always change
