NIP-81

Relationship Status

draft optional author:vitorpamplona

Abstract

Creates a replaceable event to assert the level of trust from the author to any other pubkey. The wise-spread use of these statuses between pubkeys is not ideal for Kind 3 or NIP-51 list structures.

Relationship Status Event

A special event with kind:30382 "Relationship Status Event" is defined as a parameterized replaceable event with a single d tag as the target pubkey. The other tags are stringified, NIP-44 encrypted and placed inside the .content of the event.

For example:

{
  "kind": 30382,
  "tags": [
    ["d", "612ae..e610f"],
  ],
  "content": "<NIP-44 encrypted Stringified TAG-List(
    ["status", "< Known Face, Contact, Following, Coworker, Friend, Partner, Family, Extended family, Trusted, Competitor, Traitor, Used to Know, Scammer, NSFW, Unkown, etc>"],
    ["nickname", "< nickname to be used instead of the person's name in all interfaces >"]
    ["summary", "<Summary of the relationship>"],
  )",
  ...other fields
}

Status MUST be a case-sensitive displayble category name with the expecation to group users by it.

Profile screens MAY display the summary of the relationship and allow the user to change the tags of this event.

Clients MAY filter by kind:30382 to determine how to assemble feeds, group messages and when to display content.
