LeoWandersleb on Nostr: The only private data relays should have in my opinion is what and when I'm querying. ...
The only private data relays should have in my opinion is what and when I'm querying. All I'm sending to the relay I want to be broadcast to the world. They should politely not log my IP but then again, it's my responsibility not to show it to them.
Any protocol that relies on relays keeping secrets in my eyes is flawed as the relay operator that leaks information will always have a financial edge over those that don't, either because he's directly getting paid to leak or because he invests less in not getting hacked.
