You can copy it — but the part about hiding metadata while letting users still find their messages still has to be added.

About the incentives issue, you could leak only sender but use a “fake” receiver generated in a way the original receiver can identify.

Or you can use a throw away sender and “fund” it with a small per post payment.

Yet another way is revealing the actual sender only to the relay — but not publicly in the event itself. The public author for the event would be masked in a way only the receiver can identify.

There’s a “sealed sender” thing in Signal I don’t understand that might be useful though.

I recently proposed a minimal improvement just for the sake of being easy to implement — not to discourage better solutions.

I think one “problem” is that there are just so many ways of doing it with different tradeoffs, including different protocols to draw from, that it’s hard to see what would be best
