Vitor Pamplona on Nostr: If you don't use aliases, yes. But in Nostr, your key is always receiving something. ...
If you don't use aliases, yes. But in Nostr, your key is always receiving something. Since the public doesn't know if it is a valid message or noise, you can't see the sender and even the time is unreliable for time-collision algos, it's a simple scheme that's truly powerful.
You can always add new keys to it, if you want more privacy, but all algos that I have seen make it worse by leaving extra breadcrumbs in Nostr to be found and broken into.
