Superball
Superball provides Tor-like location privacy for Nostr users. It's a daemon that bounces encrypted events between relays, allowing users to post content under their real identity while completely hiding their network location.
How It Works
- User creates content - Normal signed Nostr event with their real pubkey
- Encrypt with routing - Bundle event + routing instructions, encrypt to Superball daemon
- Anonymous forwarding - Event bounces through multiple daemons with delays and padding
- Final posting - Original event appears on target relay with user's identity but from daemon's location
Key Features
- Location Privacy: Hide your network location while preserving your identity
- Traffic Analysis Resistance: Random delays and size padding prevent correlation
- Simple Protocol: Uses NIP-44 encryption with new kind 22222 for routing
- Flexible Routing: Support for multi-hop paths through multiple daemons
- Signature Preservation: Original event signatures maintained for authenticity
- Audit Security: Detect and avoid malicious Superballs through cryptographic verification
