You must use nostr with Tor or a VPN.
It is so easy for anyone to link your npub to an IP, and it better not be your real IP...
Note

Hilarious that the prison guards have still not reviewed the update...
Note

We probably identified the issue with the relay connection in @White Noise, fix is being worked on now!
https://github.com/marmot-protocol/whitenoise-rs/blob/ca355847562e04667d1b591dfd306309601b68ff/relay-control-plane-rearchitecture.md
Note

The latest @White Noise release works well for new npubs, but if you have a lot of follows, the app connects to too many relays and gets overwhelmed, messages don't get sent or received then.
Even when you log out of that large account, the error will persist, so you'll have to wipe the storage completely and log in with a fresh of low follow count account.
Please have a bit of patience, the next release should fix that, sorry!

Ok ok, let's be real & stay humble, it's not really working, just less broken... 🙃
Note

Now with amber support I'm finally using White Noise on my main account, shoot me a DM please if you want to test!
Note

Only out on @Zapstore for now.
Apple prisoners will get it when the guards allow us to send them a letter into the gulag.
Use a real computer if you want to use the cool stuff.
Note

Finally White Noise release is out!
This is the first release that I'm actually comfortable with to recommend to friends.
Insanely proud of the team, so much work was done!

We also switched to date based release numbers.

About to go live, join and learn more about #GrapheneOS
Note

The next White Noise release will *actually* just work.
I know I said that about the last couple releases too, but now it might actually be true!

@White Noise now has a command line interface for desktop!
This is perfect for your ai agent to learn how to send private messages.

marmot-ts v0.3.0 is released! #03" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://github.com/marmot-protocol/marmot-ts/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#03

This is how you chat with your friends encrypted in the browser.

The blind signature is the oldest and most consequential trick in privacy cryptography, yet most people who benefit from it daily have never seen how it works. This post traces the full family tree: Chaum's RSA construction, Wagner's elliptic curve variant, Schnorr blinding and the attack that nearly killed it, BLS threshold signatures, and the algebraic MACs that replaced them all. Each scheme gets an intuitive walkthrough showing why it works and which real systems chose which construction.

MDK v0.7.0 is out on crates

@J.G.Montoya.Hodl looked at PAI, decided he could build it better, then rebuilt the entire thing from scratch with a cleaner codebase and first-class opencode support. He kept all five of PAI's structural primitives. That a ground-up rewrite preserves the same architecture is the strongest argument that the architecture is correct.

Desktop TUI for marmot groups!

Today I learned about 3 new marmot clients.

We're at 7 interoperable clients now!

Blows my mind.

We have a group with four (!!!) different marmot clients chatting with each other.

Absolutely insane!

I declare the Nostr DMs fixed.

Live now, won't be recorded, join or you miss it!
Note

We have lots to report, get your questions ready!

Wow, PAI v4 got even better than before, really great system.

First messages delivered between @White Noise and Marmot-ts web app, interoperability achieved!

So much happened this month...
Big plans executed, hatching the next batch of big plans now.

Access Now documented 296 internet shutdowns across 54 countries in 2024. Encryption protects the message but not the wire it travels on, and governments that cannot read your traffic can still ensure you never send it. Mesh networking inverts this vulnerability by making every device both an endpoint and a relay, operating on unlicensed spectrum with no towers and no permission required. The economics of mesh convert communication infrastructure from a centralized public utility into a club good where each participant's contribution directly improves their own service. A $30 radio in a window is the minimum viable defense against a shutdown playbook that assumes the government controls the infrastructure.

Nobody asked for it, but still here you get it.

Zig bindings for MDK!

Everyone hypes openclaw, but I think PAI is 10x better...

OpenClaw arrived in late January 2026 with 229,000 GitHub stars and a pitch that resonated: a personal AI assistant you run on your own devices, connected to whatever messaging platforms you already use. The premise is correct. Your AI assistant should run locally and answer only to you. The question is how that premise gets implemented, and implementation is where the two projects diverge completely.
