As far as I remember, nostr now has metadata about who sent messages to whom and when. This is not enough for complete anonymity. Though I may not have gotten the point.)
You didn't say which other solutions you were talking about. I would be interested in them.
For example this: https://simplex.chat/
Not much harder to use, but more secure and much more anonymous. It doesn't even have a user ID.
Oh, right, I think SimpleX was also mentioned in the discussions about how to improve NIP-04 but I didn't take a look at it yet. Thanks for reminding me!
This looks indeed really promising.
Maybe I can implement the protocol for my use case with QR codes.
Thanks again!
You're welcome)
On the other hand, I support the fact that people are trying to come up with different uses for nostres. This is a good warm-up for the brain, but before that it is better to check the existing options so as not to reinvent the wheel)
Yes, NIP-04 leaks metadata as it is. But since one key pair will never be reused (at least that's my intention), I thought this should still be "anonymous".
I could also create a new ephemeral key pair for the recipient side. Then I think metadata shouldn't matter.
But I could be wrong of course.
This option can be useful for one-time short chats, but not for long-term communication.
Yes, I agree. That's why it's called ephemeral: new key pairs are generated every time you reload the page.
Which do you have in mind?
