The past & future of DMs and Private Group chats on Nostr

[erskingardner]

Description

This will be a discussion summarizing the past NIPs that covered DMs and Private Groups and then discuss the NIPs that are on the horizon. We'll talk about how clients/apps are using these NIPs in the wild and what trade-offs each of the approaches has.

The people on the panel will be me, @abhay-raizada (Formstr dev and helping on @islandbitcoin's Flash app), and anyone else I can get to join that has had a hand in the various DM and group messaging specs. (@vitorpamplona, @staab, etc)

Nice! Happy to join.

I'd be happy to join, but only via telepresence robot since I won't be at nostriga.

WAAAAT!?!? How can this be??

[staab]

The robot or my absence?

just to let you know that remote joins will be very unlikely (we may make 1-2 exceptions like at Nostrasia for Snowden and @fiatjaf)

also, love to see you'll be joining us in Riga @vitorpamplona!

[erskingardner]

The robot or my absence?

Your absence, of course.

Oh yeah, I figured, there's no substitute for really being there. Sad to miss it!
