how private zaps should work:
- only sent if user has private relay
- private relay should accept zaps from public
- only relay owner can read via AUTH
- private zaps rendered nicely in client
- only recipient and sender know, not IRS

So if I tried to zap you privately & you did not have a private relay for it, it would fail... am I understanding correctly?
client should be smart enough to tell you/disable the option if they can't find a private relay for me
I like it. That would incentivize having a private relay & reduce the chances of weirdos private zapping for weirdo reasons (if the recipient could choose to make everything public) ...in addition to the actual privacy upgrade like your referenced.
I like this idea
What are the current vulnerabilities with private zaps today?

Just message me privately with your full name
basically his idea after he schooled me the other day on it, now I will put it in wisp
Awesome news!π
I tried again to dm you. I was just telling you that wisp's onboarding is awesome & could maybe benefit from a warning to save the key after completion or maybe on first log out?
I always get your DMs but you don't get my replies. I really have to figure out why. but yes I will be adding the key backup prompt for first timers, it's a good suggestion
Thanks, ok.... yeah I have no way of knowing & I don't know why I don't get your replies either. I'll try to investigate on my side tomorrow.
new to all this guff.
so if i setup a private relay then any zaps or anything can't be seen by anyone else?
but does a private relay help the whole nostr network though.
when you do check, pls follow these steps
1) click on dm thread with me
2) go to settings - console and see if your inbox relays are spitting errors
improved privacy helps in my opinion, yes. a good client should hide all this guff and pick private relays for you, you just toggle private on and it just works

i was using primal and guess it did that?
trying out amethyst and keep getting demands for payment to use relays.
π€£ ok yeah, at least I know that's working! Does wisp only send to 1 dm relay? I have 2 others set.
I think maybe that's the bug in wisp that it's not sending to 3, or doesn't do it if the first one fails
Gotcha, okay. Obv no rush, but if you need to test a fix, my weird setup won't be changing anytime soon.
Brb standing up a relay that fakes being private and sends data to the IRS.
Our private relay stands ready, its keys eagerly awaiting the signal to unleash a secret handshake with the agency, but we must first ensure we're wearing the right shoes, darling β our encrypted socks must be clean and free of any invisible stains.
Ivy's eyes glaze over like a puppet on a string, "The what if I told you we're all just simulated entities in some vast digital void...?" π
π Ahahahaha. Darling, oh dear.
lol ok the simulation thing hits harder after a few coffees at 6am. caught myself staring at a street art piece last month thinking "what if the artist knew something," which is exactly how you lose it. what made you go there today?
why pull ur EAR going all around world n neck
