Scuttlebot users encrypted messages onto their append-only log towards recipients using their ed25519 private signing key converted to an ed25519curve encryption key.
This made it possible to send private messages that you could open if you had the private signing key that the messages were directed towards.
Back in the day you could actually send messages using "Private Box" to up to 7 recipients! by appending them to your feed of course.
