 Does this reduce or eliminate the problem that others can see who is talking even if they can’t see the contents with original DMs?  
 No, they’re still leaking metadata. This nip44 is only addressing the technique to generate a chat key instead of using the same key forever. 
 Got it, thank you! 
 I'm also curious to know this. 
 The problem you're mentioning (metadata leakage) can't be solved by cryptography alone.

It's solved separately by specifying which relays can be responsible for your DMs. You will set up a preferred DM relay and only this relay would be used for all chats. 
 Interesting, thanks. Appreciate all the work you’re doing! 
 Also there's a separate "gift wrap" NIP which seems to solve the problem.
