Hey hackers, here's a trivial ransomware idea

  1. Come up with a cool looking Nostr client, investing money in development and marketing
  2. Use encrypted data intensively, such that users are prompted to "decrypt" all the time
  3. Make everyone try it out, most people will "allow all decryption" in Alby, Amber, etc
  4. Use that to pull all encrypted messages found on all relays
  5. Ask for ransom and profit
