The Marmot Protocol has published its full specification as six Marmot Implementation Proposals covering everything from identity and group construction to encrypted media and privacy-preserving push notifications.
This post walks through each MIP to explain what the protocol does at every layer and how the cryptographic guarantees work in practice for users who care about private communication. The specs are open and the implementations are already shipping.

Looks like we have fixed the outbox model relay connections in @White Noise, users with a large follow list now don't get overwhelmed with relay connections, which caused messages to not be delivered or received.
We still have more polishing to do, but next release will hopefully work for your existing npubs!
This is a really cool idea!
It works
