When Bob sends this kind 174 event to the first hop in the chain, the user or bot decrypts the content using their private RSA key. The decrypted content will be either kind 174 or kind 4, and the message is forwarded to the recipient pubkey. In order to provide additional privacy time delays can be added, or messages not forwarded until enough are in a queue.

# Intermediate hops # Intermediary hops
Intermediate nodes can be one of two types: always-online bots that exist solely to perform onion-routing, or ordinary users who have opted into forwarding messages for others (this also provides plausible deniability to the users themselves who are participating in forwarding). In the former case it may be desirable to use kind 20174 to make tracing more difficult, however there needs to be a way for bots to signal that they're online to ensure that such a message will be received. Hence it may be useful to have an ephemeral "heartbeat" event for sending these types of signals.
