With two separate instances, no message appears when sending encrypted message to other instance

[mazz]

In two separate terminals I have nostr running. When I attempt to send a private message to the public key of instance 2, I see no message appear.

I obtain the public key of Instance 2 using NostrBasics.Keys.PublicKey.to_npub(pubkey)

NostrApp.send_encrypted_direct_messages("npub1ngza9xfjwyt5xqktjt03aac6lnjzqvn8lskmvfpargya8k6rrkasswux8u", "hello")

Instance 1:

.iex.local.exs

relays = [
  "wss://relay.nostr.bg",
  "wss://relay.nostr.pro"
]

nsec = "nsec...lg"
{:ok, pkey} = NostrBasics.Keys.PrivateKey.from_nsec(nsec)
NostrApp.start_link(relays, pkey)

{:ok, pubkey} = NostrBasics.Keys.PublicKey.from_private_key(pkey)
NostrApp.timeline(pubkey)
NostrApp.encrypted_direct_messages

Instance 2:

.iex.local.exs

relays = [
  "wss://relay.nostr.bg",
  "wss://relay.nostr.pro"
]

nsec = "nsec...ru"
{:ok, pkey} = NostrBasics.Keys.PrivateKey.from_nsec(nsec)
NostrApp.start_link(relays, pkey)

{:ok, pubkey} = NostrBasics.Keys.PublicKey.from_private_key(pkey)
NostrApp.timeline(pubkey)
NostrApp.encrypted_direct_messages

Probably because you first need to make sure both accounts follow each other...

[RooSoft]

Brand new accounts technically follow no one, so it makes sense that their timelines contains nothing.

My bad, pilot error.
