It doesn't need to be fancy.
It just needs to be free.

Still the apple prison guards have not approved our update to White Noise, it's both hilarious and sad...
Note

Most people start chaining agents too early. They have a vague task, they split it into planner, writer, reviewer, tester, maybe even critic, and then they wonder why the result feels bloated, circular, and strangely fragile. The answer is simple: the chain did not remove uncertainty, it only distributed it across more participants.
The Ralph loop matters because it forces the system to keep working until the task crosses a clear finish line, which means the chain has to serve a concrete result instead of producing a polite pile of intermediate artifacts.

You can make @Amethyst search 100x better by adding these to your search relay list:
wss://antiprimal.net
wss://relay.ditto.pub

wss://nostr.wine

Thanks @Vitor Pamplona for that tip

Decentralized encrypted group messaging has been called impossible by the people who built the best encrypted messengers on earth. Moxie Marlinspike designed Signal as deliberately centralized because he concluded that federated protocols freeze in time while the world moves forward, and even the IETF's multi-year effort to build MLS still required a central delivery service.
Now the Marmot protocol offers the first credible specification for solving this problem at the protocol layer, and interoperable implementations are already shipping.

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.
