90+
80+!
80+!A useful app can begin with a problem you understand, even before you have years of programming experience or a public developer identity. An open-source agent workflow lets a home laptop handle Android builds while you direct and test from your phone, then share the result under a name you chose.
I gotta put a pause on adding people to the group, my phone can't handle that many groups and isnt successfully inviting others.
We have to unlock the next level of scaling.
Stay tuned, we're hunting for performance bugs right now.
android is getting super slow when you have more than 300 groups. It still works, just some actions take forever. We'll ship improvements soon, but for now keep your clients under that scale.

70 members in the largest @White Noise community group.
We gotta pump those rookie numbers.
@White Noise community group.We gotta pump those rookie numbers.
A new @White Noise Android & iOS release is out.
Lots of improvements and new features are in.
After you've updated, send me your npub and I will add you to our main White Noise community chat.
Since we've increased the maximum number of members in a group from around 50 to around 200, we will consolidate our multiple White Noise community groups and get one to be as large as possible to test it out.
So send me your White Noise npubs and I will add you. Let's see at what scale it breaks next.

Next @White Noise release will increase maximum group members from 50 to 200.
And we still haven't worked on scale properly. We'll get that higher!

If you want a masters degree from a university that's not useless, check out Hesperides.
A private university that goes to extreme lengths to not receive any money from the state, with a solid curriculum for both Austrian economics and Bitcoin.
I'll be teaching the masters on Bitcoin Privacy next semester.

First successful messages between Scramble and @White Noise !
This is huge, because Scramble is a from the group up reimplementation of both MLS and Marmot in C#!
If
@The Dude can build a fully independent marmot ecosystem that's interoperable with MDK (rust) & @White Noise, then so can you!!

Fake news.
It used to be that engineers over estimate how fast they can ship something.
@JeffG said it'll take a week to build this complex piece.
Turns out it is done in about two days.
We'll get a major@White Noise release out much sooner! Hopefully tomorrow.
The biggest pro@npub1whtn0s68y3cs98zysa4nxrfzss5g5snhndv35tk5m2sudsr7ltms48r3ec right now is inefficient processing of the group state and inefficient relay connections. You can think of white noise like the equivalent of a Bitcoin full note versus a bank account. Apps like Signal have the benefit of a central server that can offload a whole bunch of processing and therefore make it much more...

Thanks to all the early@White Noise testers, the feedback and bug reports are the best!
That's why we released only on nostr.

You can think of white noise like the equivalent of a Bitcoin full note versus a bank account. Apps like Signal have the benefit of a central server that can offload a whole bunch of processing and therefore make it much more efficient on the client application.
White noise is a local first convergence machine. So it has to do a whole bunch of processing to keep in sync with the group. This gets especially tricky when the app is closed or offline and has to catch up.
Currently it's designed so that it is very unlikely to fork the consensus, but at a huge computational cost.
What we're working on now is to massively improve the performance of our convergence state machine, and to also make our relay connections a whole lot smarter. This is a big undertaking and it will take us about a week of back end library development but expect a lot performance improvements and battery optimizations in the coming weeks.

Quick update on @White Noise scaling.
It seems the current limit is ~ 50 members in a group. Inviting additional members fails to deliver invite welcome messages to the new user.
So best keep your groups under this size for now.
We didn't focus on scaling at all so far.
Step 1 was to make it work.
Now comes a lot of performance improvements, which should also help with scaling.
I'd love to reach at least 10k members in a group, in theory we can do even more, but thats hard engineering ahead.

Oh wow
@White Noise didnt break over night!
We're at 50+ members in the community chat.
Lots of new fixed already in progress.
I think we did the thing...

Send me the npub you're using on @White Noise and I'll add you to our community group.
50 members so far, and it didn't break yet!

Zapstore was dope before.
It'll be unreal soon.
A Bitcoin node syncs blocks and queries locally. Organic Maps pulls tiles and queries locally. Why can't Zapstore pull release bundles and query locally? At first this sounded crazy. It turns out it's (almost) the holy grail of privacy and UX. Initial prototype of v2 is insanely promising. App written in Kotlin from scratch. Browsing apps is instant. Search is orders of magnitude better....

@White Noise is finally out on @Zapstore!This was so damn hard.
But I think we finally did it.
Decentralized encrypted group messaging.
Not a single privileged server in sight.
New White Noise release. The messenger with no phone number. Your key is your account. https://www.whitenoise.chat/downloadI thought I was bullish enough on @Zapstore.
Now I see@JeffG trying to release @White Noise on the main app stores.
And I realize I'm not nearly bullish enough.
Why do developers take this shit?!
