+### Virtual Relays

+Some relays want to expose "virtual" addresses to the same underlying dataset or other types of weird functionality. A basic example is a relay that may serve all notes under its `/` path, but only Italian notes under its `/it` path and only Japanese notes under its `/jp` path. In this case clients may use the virtual (`/jp` etc) paths when browsing the relay, for example; but in other situations, like when selecting relays for building a feed for some specific profile, clients should just want to connect to `/`.

+Private Direct Messages
+-----------------------
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+This NIP defines an encrypted direct messaging scheme using [NIP-44](44.md) encryption and [NIP-59](59.md) seals and gift wraps.
+
+## Direct Message Kind
+
+Kind `14` is a chat message. `p` tags identify one or more receivers of the message.
+
+```js
+{
+  "id": "<usual hash>",
+  "pubkey": "<sender-pubkey>",
+  "created_at": now(),
+  "kind": 14,
+  "tags": [
+    ["p", "<receiver-1-pubkey>", "<relay-url>"],
+    ["p", "<receiver-2-pubkey>", "<relay-url>"],
+    ["e", "<kind-14-id>", "<relay-url>", "reply"] // if this is a reply
+    ["subject", "<conversation-title>"],
+    ...
+  ],
+  "content": "<message-in-plain-text>",
+}
+```
+
+`.content` MUST be plain text. Fields `id` and `created_at` are required.
+
+Tags that mention, quote and assemble threading structures MUST follow [NIP-10](10.md).
+
+Kind `14`s MUST never be signed. If it is signed, the message might leak to relays and become **fully public**.
+
+## Chat Rooms
+
+The set of `pubkey` + `p` tags defines a chat room. If a new `p` tag is added or a current one is removed, a new room is created with clean message history.
+
+Clients SHOULD render messages of the same room in a continuous thread.
+
+An optional `subject` tag defines the current name/topic of the conversation. Any member can change the topic by simply submitting a new `subject` to an existing `pubkey` + `p`-tags room. There is no need to send `subject` in every message. The newest `subject` in the thread is the subject of the conversation.
+
+## Encrypting
+
+Following [NIP-59](59.md), the **unsigned** `kind:14` chat message must be sealed (`kind:13`) and then gift-wrapped (`kind:1059`) to each receiver and the sender individually.
+
+```js
+{
+  "id": "<usual hash>",
+  "pubkey": randomPublicKey,
+  "created_at": randomTimeUpTo2DaysInThePast(),
+  "kind": 1059, // gift wrap
+  "tags": [
+    ["p", receiverPublicKey, "<relay-url>"] // receiver
+  ],
+  "content": nip44Encrypt(
+    {
+      "id": "<usual hash>",
+      "pubkey": senderPublicKey,
+      "created_at": randomTimeUpTo2DaysInThePast(),
+      "kind": 13, // seal
+      "tags": [], // no tags
+      "content": nip44Encrypt(unsignedKind14, senderPrivateKey, receiverPublicKey),
+      "sig": "<signed by senderPrivateKey>"
+    },
+    randomPrivateKey, receiverPublicKey
+  ),
+  "sig": "<signed by randomPrivateKey>"
+}
+```
+
+The encryption algorithm MUST use the latest version of [NIP-44](44.md).
+
+Clients MUST verify if pubkey of the `kind:13` is the same pubkey on the `kind:14`, otherwise any sender can impersonate others by simply changing the pubkey on `kind:14`.
+
+Clients SHOULD randomize `created_at` in up to two days in the past in both the seal and the gift wrap to make sure grouping by `created_at` doesn't reveal any metadata.
+
+The gift wrap's `p`-tag can be the receiver's main pubkey or an alias key created to receive DMs without exposing the receiver's identity.
+
+Clients CAN offer disappearing messages by setting an `expiration` tag in the gift wrap of each receiver or by not generating a gift wrap to the sender's public key
+
+## Publishing
+
+Kind `10050` indicates the user's preferred relays to receive DMs. The event MUST include a list of `relay` tags with relay URIs.
+
+```js
+{
+  "kind": 10050,
+  "tags": [
+    ["relay", "wss://inbox.nostr.wine"],
+    ["relay", "wss://myrelay.nostr1.com"],
+  ],
+  "content": "",
+  //...other fields
+}
+```
+
+Clients SHOULD publish kind `14` events to the `10050`-listed relays. If that is not found that indicates the user is not ready to receive messages under this NIP and clients shouldn't try.
+
+## Relays
+
+It's advisable that relays do not serve `kind:14` to clients other than the ones tagged in them.
+
+It's advisable that users choose relays that conform to these practices.
+
+Clients SHOULD guide users to keep `kind:10050` lists small (1-3 relays) and SHOULD spread it to as many relays as viable.
+
+## Benefits & Limitations
+
+This NIP offers the following privacy and security features:
+
+1. **No Metadata Leak**: Participant identities, each message's real date and time, event kinds, and other event tags are all hidden from the public. Senders and receivers cannot be linked with public information alone.
+2. **No Public Group Identifiers**: There is no public central queue, channel or otherwise converging identifier to correlate or count all messages in the same group.
+3. **No Moderation**: There are no group admins: no invitations or bans.
+4. **No Shared Secrets**: No secret must be known to all members that can leak or be mistakenly shared
+5. **Fully Recoverable**: Messages can be fully recoverable by any client with the user's private key
+6. **Optional Forward Secrecy**: Users and clients can opt-in for "disappearing messages".
+7. **Uses Public Relays**: Messages can flow through public relays without loss of privacy. Private relays can increase privacy further, but they are not required.
+8. **Cold Storage**: Users can unilaterally opt-in to sharing their messages with a separate key that is exclusive for DM backup and recovery.
+
+The main limitation of this approach is having to send a separate encrypted event to each receiver. Group chats with more than 100 participants should find a more suitable messaging scheme.
+
+## Implementation
+
+Clients implementing this NIP should by default only connect to the set of relays found in their `kind:10050` list. From that they should be able to load all messages both sent and received as well as get new live updates, making it for a very simple and lightweight implementation that should be fast.
+
+When sending a message to anyone, clients must then connect to the relays in the receiver's `kind:10050` and send the events there, but can disconnect right after unless more messages are expected to be sent (e.g. the chat tab is still selected). Clients should also send a copy of their outgoing messages to their own `kind:10050` relay set.
+
+## Examples
+
+This example sends the message `Hola, que tal?` from `nsec1w8udu59ydjvedgs3yv5qccshcj8k05fh3l60k9x57asjrqdpa00qkmr89m` to `nsec12ywtkplvyq5t6twdqwwygavp5lm4fhuang89c943nf2z92eez43szvn4dt`.
+
+The two final GiftWraps, one to the receiver and the other to the sender, are:

+```
+
+The first patch in a series MAY be a cover letter in the format produced by `git format-patch`.
+
+## Issues
+
+Issues are Markdown text that is just human-readable conversational threads related to the repository: bug reports, feature requests, questions or comments of any kind. Like patches, these SHOULD be sent to the relays specified in that repository's announcement event's `"relays"` tag.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "kind": 1621,
+  "content": "<markdown text>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["a", "30617:<base-repo-owner-pubkey>:<base-repo-id>"],
+    ["p", "<repository-owner>"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Replies
+
+Replies are also Markdown text. The difference is that they MUST be issued as replies to either a `kind:1621` _issue_ or a `kind:1617` _patch_ event. The threading of replies and patches should follow NIP-10 rules.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "kind": 1622,
+  "content": "<markdown text>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["a", "30617:<base-repo-owner-pubkey>:<base-repo-id>", "<relay-url>"],
+    ["e", "<issue-or-patch-id-hex>", "", "root"],
+
+    // other "e" and "p" tags should be applied here when necessary, following the threading rules of NIP-10
+    ["p", "<patch-author-pubkey-hex>", "", "mention"],
+    ["e", "<previous-reply-id-hex>", "", "reply"],
+    // ...
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Status
+
+Root Patches and Issues have a Status that defaults to 'Open' and can be set by issuing Status events.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "kind": 1630, // Open
+  "kind": 1631, // Applied / Merged for Patches; Resolved for Issues
+  "kind": 1632, // Closed
+  "kind": 1633, // Draft
+  "content": "<markdown text>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["e", "<issue-or-original-root-patch-id-hex>", "", "root"],
+    ["e", "<accepted-revision-root-id-hex>", "", "reply"], // for when revisions applied
+    ["p", "<repository-owner>"],
+    ["p", "<root-event-author>"],
+    ["p", "<revision-author>"],
+
+    // optional for improved subscription filter efficency
+    ["a", "30617:<base-repo-owner-pubkey>:<base-repo-id>", "<relay-url>"],
+    ["r", "<earliest-unique-commit-id-of-repo>"]
+
+    // optional for `1631` status
+    ["e", "<applied-or-merged-patch-event-id>", "", "mention"], // for each
+    // when merged
+    ["merge-commit", "<merge-commit-id>"]
+    ["r", "<merge-commit-id>"] 
+    // when applied
+    ["applied-as-commits", "<commit-id-in-master-branch>", ...]
+    ["r", "<applied-commit-id>"] // for each
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The Status event with the largest created_at date is valid.
+
+The Status of a patch-revision defaults to either that of the root-patch, or `1632` (Closed) if the root-patch's Status is `1631` and the patch-revision isn't tagged in the `1631` event.
