I haven't looked into the encryption sides of things here but as I was mentioning the reasons I think nip17 is far better than kind4 are 1) it has a whole new relay list for private comms so users can find each other 2) even when using a public relay it has some good obfuscation of who you're talking to and 3) if combined with nip42 auth protecting these events then it considerably narrows the spread of the events.
Even looks like it can time expire the messages somehow although I also did not look into how 😎
I just don't like kind4 going to every relay ever and just sitting there for all time waiting to be decrypted, and the shame bots that broadcast who you are talking with. This makes kind4 a non starter.
