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

1. User creates content - Normal signed Nostr event with their real pubkey
2. Encrypt with routing - Bundle event + routing instructions, encrypt to Superball daemon
3. Anonymous forwarding - Event bounces through multiple daemons with delays and padding
4. 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 30000 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
