Short history of a little crazy, and experimental relay: wss://mix.gzuuu.xyz
Last night, I was floating through cyberspace when an idea struck me. A note mixer relay - a simple yet intriguing concept. Essentially, it's a relay that accepts your notes, but instead of store them, it re-signs them with the relay's keys, effectively anonymizing and mixing your notes. This is the npub I'm using for this and where all mixed notes are published nostr:nprofile1qqs80keaa6v84ldnkne66q0qf96rvtf84aj27taw25x3appz83lqspgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp07t6hp6 .
This idea isn't entirely new, there was some exploration around group of people sharing an nsec. This is the case of nostr:nprofile1qqswgh9y2cz5qu5upzg5yn47m65t7d697k2dtufa9fq54af80dwng5sprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezucmgv95k6cfwd9hxvme0qyw8wumn8ghj7cn0wd68ytn0wfskuem9wdukuceww3jkx6p0ksrqpx, for example, it was created during sec01.
In summary, this note mixer relay will accept your notes, re-sign them with the relay's keys, and then publish them. Currently, anyone can publish to the relay, but I plan to implement a whitelist for pubkeys based on my contact list. This could also be integrated with a wot relay, allowing you to mix notes from your friends or entire social graph. Perhaps there are some interesting use cases to explore? 🤔
Just a heads up: be careful not to publish to multiple relays, as this will leak your original note, signed by you.
Sounds like a good idea. Isn't that the same as generating new notes with new keys every time? I don't see a good application case!

Not really, here all the notes would be published with the nsec/npub of the relay, if you generate new keys for every note all of them would be published by different identities. Application cases... I don't really know, may be some interesting use cases, for example you can set the nsec of your main account in the relay and all the notes would be signed with your identity, some kind of remote signer... Other for example may be some merge between nip 29 and lowent.xyz

Nostr use cases just keep growing. Happy to see so much innovation in this space!
