While I understand the efficiency problem, and tallying them would massively alleviate it, it breaks the trust model because clients don't trust relays. Now, how many upvotes there are isn't...

Just as a data point, twitter does 3 million transactions per second to calculate and display the view count, and they can centralize and aggregate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tjCPXE0_Ko

If these lists are "to yourself", why not just encrypt them with your public key and decrypt with your private key? ECDH "to yourself" seems pointless to me. edit: ~~Or...

I guess it doesn't matter. You are not exposing the key you are encrypting/decrypting with so you aren't leaking information about the keypair. And NIP-04 has an IV which does...

Actually I would much prefer if people didn't cut bytes in half, listing an odd number of hex digits because I can't hex decode them into bytes. But it looks...

ok I had better make sure it's not my bug first.

How about adding that clients should check NIP-11 first to see if they support NIP-45 before issuing COUNT requests.

As for the 11 bytes, I pulled them out of my arse. The point was to verify that a decryption is correct. Due to AES needing padding, most failed decryptions...
