nostr DMs would be great... ...if: - clients weren't split on DM type - secure relays were easier to setup - people actually responded to DMs 😹 #Nos...

NIP-59 gift wrap currently requires NIP-42 auth on clients (but not on relays), yet I don't see any reason to not require the auth on relays too if gift wrap was requested (at least by default).

NIP-42 also needs to require support for requesting events from relays by either "authors" or "p"-tag, at least for gift wraps, for Concord compatibility.
