I know Hzrd doesn't want to prioritize this yet but I'm still living in the hopes that he implements it in noStrudel some day soon
I meant so far it still happening the oldway (coordinators API) I wanted to wait a little bit and see how things evolves on this matter.
On the other hand gossip isn't any worse than whatever client I posted that from. I think you gave us the inbox/outbox model or some important thing. Thanks for replying, made me reflect on my reply a bit
Is that your wolf emoji? Adorable xD Feed is wrapped up and happy with it now =3 But DM tests probably not anytime soon. It'll happen sooner rather than later if traditional community funding campaign(s) is a success (not sure when that'll happen, still doing paperwork).
Sure, I'll do my best. The old and deprecated DM spec, defined in NIP-04, leaks metadata to anyone who wants to see it. While the content of the messages are themselves encrypted, the information about who is sending and who is receiving is public for all to see. This on its own can be pretty destructive to privacy. The latest completed DM spec is defined in NIP-17. It is superior to NIP-04 because it uses better encryption (defined in NIP-44), and it does not leak information about who is sending the DM, only who is receiving. Therefore, anyone who is watching can only see that someone specific received a DM, but they cannot tell who they received it from. We are hopeful about a new spec that is in the works that will also make it impossible to tell who the intended recipient is, unless you are that intended recipient. It will also make private groups a possibility on Nostr. Keep an eye on what @JeffG posts about WhiteNoise for updates on the progress.
The NIP detailing how we're using MLS is at worth a read. White Noise is moving along and we'll hopefully have a beta (that won't be changing anything big enough to nuke all your group chats) in a month or two. For now, feel free to use the alpha and send us feedback!
