Flowey7d agoAlthough Keychat uses NIP-17, it already suffers from compatibility issues with other clients that use the same NIP due to the signal protocol. Synchronization is a major advantage for increasing the adoption of Nostr messengers; furthermore, the NIP-17E approach is much better than the current one, and i believe the same effort was made to replace the NIP-4 should be done. Cody is still developing the NIP-17E, i believe you two could help each other, you're my two favorite Nostr clients.

Keychat7d agoPerhaps we can summarize it this way:
Old Nostr DM (NIP-4) integrates four capabilities into a single Nostr key—it serves as an ID, an encryption key, a receiving address, and a sending address.
New Nostr DM (NIP-17) integrates three capabilities into a single Nostr key—it serves as an ID, an encryption key, and a receiving address.
Newest Nostr DM (NIP-17e) integrates two capabilities into a single Nostr key—it serves as an ID and a receiving address.
I’m not sure whether the receiving address of NIP-17e messages is the ID key or the encrypiton key.
