btw, I missed to mention this when I talked about it on vida.live but NIP-44 is really very close to getting merged. I just mentioned we're just waiting for a security audit but not when it will be done. Should be done by end of November:
The auditors have time slot in the second half of November.
It would take 10 working days, which corresponds to 12500EUR. The auditor accepts BTC.
For the people who weren't in the stream: We want to use NIP-44 for direct messages on SN.
