Read NIP-4 and had a question on the crypto algo choice. Why have elliptic curve derived key pairs for signing and verifying posts but yet use aes-256-cbc for encrypted DMs? Why not use an elliptic curve algo? This choice seemed a bit odd considering AES is not quantum safe. #nostr #asknostr #nip #nip4
