E2EE DMs are coming to Nostr 🔒 After being nerd sniped by hearing @npub1az9xj85 mention OTR for the millionth time on the Bitcoin Review podcast, I spent the last few weeks digging into OTR, the Signal protocol, and a grab-bag of other cryptography. The end result is that I (am pretty sure at least) that I found a way to do E2EE (end-to-end encrypted) DMs on Nostr in a way that is both forward and post-compromise secure AND doesn't require any centralized servers. Demo video: share.cleanshot.com/nMKk6cn0 Live demo app: drdm-demo.vercel.app/ And finally, the NIP (for those of you with bikes in need of a shed): github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1206 Huge thanks to @npub1klkk3vr and @npub1l2vyh47 for the chats while I worked out the details.
