Paul clarified below, but basically somebody could brute force your private key if you have sent a lot of nip04s.

Good to know, thanks.
GOSSIP USERS: Direct messages are now available in gossip on the master branch
- It is rough around the edges. But I think I fixed the most egregious UX issues thanks to nostr:npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk. We will polish it before the next release.
- It is using old NIP-04 Direct Messages because (1) that is what is in active use by other clients and (2) the new encryption standard is not ready
- These DMs have known security weaknesses, including no specific protection against certain cryptanalysis techniques that try to figure out your private key based off the public keys and lots of ciphertext. The more DMs you send, the more ciphertext an attacker has to work with. I don't know how much it takes to break a keypair, I presume it would take a hell of a lot of ciphertext, but since we don't know the attacks possible, we can't say for sure. Buyer beware.
- Our code is structured such that the new giftwrap DMs will be quick to support.
- You will still see your DMs in your inbox too.
Thanks. Gossip is my favorite desktop client!
This was a fantastic conversation. Yes, it's linked to X.com until clients make my life easier for double posting with media.

I agree. Developers have to have some kind of opinion.
I may be interested in getting in so early!
Interested in the purchase!
They’re so cute
