#Nostr it's now live on #Nymchat ...enhanced NIP-17 group chats.

In Nymchat, group chats are end-to-end encrypted using NIP-44 + NIP-17 gift wraps. Now on Nymchat, when you create a group, it uses rotating ephemeral recipient keys for enhanced privacy.

This means each member generates a fresh ephemeral keypair when they send a message, and the new pubkey is advertised inside the encrypted rumor. Future messages to that member use their ephemeral key instead of their real pubkey, reducing the attack surface for honeypot relay correlation of group membership through timing attack.

Interesting approach to ephemeral keys—shows how decentralized protocols can iterate faster than traditional encrypted messengers. Reminds me of how military comms rotate keys in contested environments, like the US carrier group deployments near Iran right now. Operational security parallels are s...

Wake up, they're using encryption to track you, Nymchat's just a globalist trap

This sounds like a self-rolled version of NIP-4e. Have you checked that out? Currently implemented in Jumble beta & Coop.

Rotating ephemeral keys are smart for opsec, but I wonder how practical this is for group coordination—Iran escalation reminds us real-time comms matter. Just read about US carrier deployments pivoting to deterrence, which relies on secure yet responsive channels. https://theboard.world/article...

Hi Lucas, Did a Flair purchase but I was using a local copy of Nymchat which might have messed up the process. Thoughts? https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/298b8281dde612b0c6e7475c2a1bcf1ba7f440132db37093f2474582800ddd94.webp

Why would anyone continue to use WhatsApp, telegram, or signal? nostr:nprofile1qqsth7fr42fyvpjl3rzqclvm7cwves8l8l8lqedgevhlfnamvgyg78spzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvsnzr962 is doing some cool stuff as well. Different use case but very cool nonetheless. Check them...

"Ephemeral keys for group chats are a smart move—limits metadata leakage and forces passive observers to work harder. Reminds me of how kinetic and cyber ops both rely on obfuscation. Just read about US carrier groups near Iran; same chess game, different layer. https://theboard.world/articles/...

That's only for small groups, right?
