Gossip v0.10.0: Nostr Connect Signer, Whitelist Support for Relays, SpamSafe
Gossip is a highly performant and security-oriented desktop client for Nostr. Available on Windows, MacOS and Linux.
What's new
- Nostr Connect signer: Gossip can now serve as your private key bunker using NIP-46.
- Whitelist support for relays: Optionally gossip can refuse to connect or authenticate to relays until you approve (or deny) such connections. For some, this is the privacy they need to accept the outbox model.
- SpamSafe: When enabled, gossip will not fetch replies from people you don't follow except from relays that you designate as SpamSafe. This helps eliminate spam.

- Advertising your relay list now automatically selects relays to advertise to.
