Keep in mind when writing encrypted private messages on Nostr that everything you ever wrote will be visible if your private key is compromised... even if it's 50 years from now.
Also, everything you wrote to an specific individual will be readable if its just their key that was compromised. So even if you're secure, you still have to rely on others to be secure too.
In other words, write as if the whole world is reading.
Interesting so a key attack vector will be to go after the friend of someone significant.
Is this worse than the situation today? Maybe that you can’t just reset your encryption key? Like you can reset your password to re secure your data?
Ya, the fact you can't change your private key is a major problem for Nostr. Blockchains like Hive solved that nearly a decade ago.
Did U use the private messaging on Hive?
Very rarely
With Ecency you can use a separate key for the chat.
Always, thanks.
My DMs could be read by anyone.
