🚨 NIP ALERT 🚨 After nearly a year of work, NIP 17 has been merged! This replaces NIP 04 direct messages with something incrementally better — it fixes much of the metadata leakage associated with NIP 04 messages. There is still work to be done to create better standards, but this is a huge leap forward. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/17.md
