## Implementation ## Implementation
Define a new very generic `republish` event with `kind:20001` (ephemeral) in the form: Define a new [NIP-16](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/16.md) `republish` event with `kind:20001` (ephemeral) in the form:
```json ```json
{ {
... ...
"kind": 20001, "kind": 20001,
"content": <encrypted JSON of the event that is to be republished>, "content": <encrypted JSON of the event(s) that is to be republished>,
"tags": [ "tags": [
["p", <pubkey of the person that is chosen to republish this>], ["p", <pubkey of the person that is chosen to republish this>],
["relays", "wss://relay.com", "wss://otherrelay.com", "and so on, there could be many of these"] ["relays", "wss://somerelay.com", "wss://otherrelay.com", "and so on, there could be many of these"]
] ]
} }
``` ```
Then whenever the chosen republisher sees a note like that they automatically decrypt it using NIP-04 method and publish it to the chosen relays. Whenever the chosen `re-publisher` sees a note like that, they automatically decrypt it using [NIP-04](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/04.md) method and publish it to the chosen relays.
- the chosen relays could (and probably should) be different from the relay used to broadcast the republish event. - the chosen relays could (and probably should) be different from the relay used to broadcast the republish event.
- there could be many republish events with the same underlying encrypted event. - there could be many republish events with the same underlying encrypted event.
- there could be multiple nested levels of republish events. - there could be multiple nested levels of republish events.
The JSON content (before encription) of the `kind:20001` event is of this form (other fields might later be added):
```json
{
"events": [<list of nostr events to be re-published>],
"padding": <string (optional), random data used to obfuscate the real size of re-publised event(s)>
}
```
