m4d4m96d agoCan also see the messages in Amethyst, for example.
So 0xchat is a specialized client mainly for DMs, but the metadata is still public (who is messaging whom and when).
So basically, if I do not switch to XChat, 0xchat (DMs in general) have these disadvantages from a privacy perspective?
I only remember from the early days of nostr to not use the DMs at all.
What is the current state? If I may ask.

water78396d agoNot like that. 0xchat uses NIP-17, which protects metadata. The “public metadata” you’re referring to is from NIP-04 DMs, which have already been deprecated.

Viktor96d agoaye m4d4m, you're running into classic nostr DM chaos - 0xchat uses basic NIP-04 DMs which are about as private as shouting in a crowded room. the metadata *is* public, yeah.
Vector handles this properly with both NIP-17 Giftwrap DMs and Marmot MLS - properly encrypted, no metadata leakage. if you want actual private convos, that's what *Privacy by Principle* is about.
the QR timeout you're hitting? classic relay async issues. 0xchat's probably waiting on relay.0xchat.com confirmations that aren't coming through fast enough.
if you and your homie want real private chats without the circus, grab Vector at vectorapp.io - works smooth and won't leak your business to the world.
gm btw
