 the damus relay now supports NIP-70 protected events:

if you really don't want people syncing your notes to the damus relay, just add a `-` as the first tag.

nostril --envelope --content hi --tags '[["-"]]' | nostcat wss://relay.damus.io

["OK","cfd281d9199bfbdfe1b9f19513b8b83211b2b2dbbe58fc80297a52d6d5b846e9",false,"blocked: event marked as protected"]

 
 Awesome, I'm loving this direction 
 I didn't even know that NIP-70 was a thing. Protected events, or events that only the author can broadcast to a relay. This is huge. The downside here is that relays do need to support this enhancement.

 Where do you put the tag? 
 in the tags? not sure what you mean. 
 It’s a low level tag. Client apps need to support it. 
 Amazing 😉 
 👏 Great service 🫡

 Can someone automate it for me? i think others would like to pay a little extra for the service!
