Burn After Reading
NIP-04 DM metadata is public. Burn your DM envelopes: the messages you sent, plus every NIP-17 gift wrap addressed to you.
It's the public footprint Snoopable reveals, plus the NIP-17 wraps sitting in your own inbox.
We can burn
- NIP-04 DMs you sent — one shared event, so the recipient's relay copy goes too.
- NIP-17 gift wraps addressed to you — incoming DMs and your copies of sent ones.
Out of reach
- NIP-04 DMs you received — signed by the sender.
- Your contacts' NIP-17 wraps — signed by throwaway keys.
- Client caches — already-saved copies survive any deletion.
Decryption runs in your browser, only when you open a conversation. Deletion requests are best-effort: some relays ignore them or keep cached copies.
NIP-07 signer required.
Relay targets
Deletion requests are best-effort. Some relays are read-only, ignore deletes, or keep cached copies.
