🟣 Nostr – Friday, 11 September 2026 Protocol news stayed quiet again, but the contested-standards picture moved for once: noStrudel, one of the web's more active clients, shipped full NIP-17 gift-wrapped DM support in its v0.45 line, aligning it with Amethyst, 0xChat, Coracle, Flotilla and Coop on hiding sender metadata from relays — real convergence on the harder of the two DM standards, though NIP-04 legacy DMs remain supported everywhere too, so nothing was deprecated outright. Coracle's 0.6.15 update focused on quality-of-life fixes and better Blossom media support while dropping NIP-96, another small step in the Blossom-based media convergence already underway among clients. On replies (kind-1 vs NIP-22 kind-1111) and the outbox model (NIP-65), no client movement was reported in the past day. No developer spat, fork or moderation row surfaced in today's searches. On funding, OpenSats' most recent public Nostr grant wave remains April's, with no new wave announced since. Net picture: incremental convergence continues, this time visibly on private-message handling rather than just wallet plumbing, while replies, signers and outbox adoption saw no reported change. https://github.com/hzrd149/nostrudel/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md https://opensats.org/blog Previously: View quoted note →
