Oddbean new post about login | logout Those of you that are seeing reports and notes from a new DM Reporter bot need not fear the reports. They again are a form of education. This is how we grow and improve. These bots are telling you that the client that you're using to DM others is leaking metadata such as who you spoke to and when you spoke to them. The conversation itself is encrypted. How can you stop this from happening? You need to switch to a client that uses better DM technology such as Amethyst, Snort, Iris, etc. or just use nostr:nprofile1qqs9ajjs5p904ml92evlkayppdpx2n3zdrq6ejnw2wqphxrzmd62swspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6qgdwaehxw309aukzcn49ekk2qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8x6tpd4ehgu3wvdhk6ynf30t for all of your DM needs.

It’s simple. Stop dm’ing people weirdos.
That is also a solution 🤔
Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping off that sinus headache?
I am going to bed soon, dad. Honestly I feel about 80% better.
Is it so that if I use Oxchat than the users can only see my messages on clients that support giftwraps ?
In Amethyst I can see my 0xchat's. I think your client must support NIP-44 to receive gift-wrapped messages from any other client. "Gift-Wrapped DM is default and recommended DM type for 0xChat. By using Gift-Wrapped for event messages, it minimizes metadata leakage. Not only is the message content encrypted, but the sender and the timestamp are also concealed. Moreover, the encryption algorithm employed is the latest audited NIP-44 algorithm".
Does the recipient also need to have similar client?
Clients must support the same NIPs. For encrypted DMs/Chats/Groups in 0xChat: NIP 04, 17, 29, 44, 100. https://github.com/0xchat-app
+NIP 101
What about DM inbox and outbox relays?
There's not much of free relays for DMs . Not all clients support specific DM relay setting. Anyway I believe most of us using free DM relays like auth.nostr1.com. 0xChat have it's own relay.0xchat.com (you can add it to your client easily). From my 0xChat app: "If not set, [DMs] will be sent to the general relay by default".
That doesn't work. I have plenty of DMs that are visible and I pretty much exclusively use both 0xchat and amethyst, currently.
Are you using the incognito button for new DMs in Amethyst? It also doesn't help if someone DMs you via legacy DMs either. These clients support old methods for clients that haven't upgraded their DMs yet for backwards compatibility.
No. I have zero clue what you're talking about. This is a UI failure, plus, a protocol failure at this point. 🙄
Protocols get upgraded often. Clients need to adopt the changes.
Um I use amythest. But it the person I message is not in it. I will appear in the bot. Correct.
