Some things are meant to stay between two people. We're building the app for that.
White Noise
npub1whtn...r3ec
The chat with no phone number and no central server to shut down. Powered by Bitcoin and Nostr.
github.com/marmot-protocol/whitenoise
Nostr is great for social. Terrible for private messages. Marmot protocol fixes this.
Secure group chat in your terminal. wn-tui wraps WhiteNoise (MLS + Nostr) in a full TUI: chat list, reactions, key bindings, the works.
Chat, react, manage groups, all from your terminal!
github.com/marmot-protocol/wn-tui
A lot changed in this release. Messages arrive instantly. Group chats are stable. We improved image sharing. Amber support. Keys only, no phone number.

A lock doesn’t ask for your name. It only checks the key.
A chat app should be a door, not a border crossing.
Your keys don't ask "who are you?" They ask "can you enter?"
We don't need to replace centralized platforms. We just need to build our own exit.

GM. It’s a good day to write code that survives the server.
Signal app outage during the Marmot call. You really can't make this stuff up.

GM. If your messenger knows who you are, it knows too much.
Attempting to KYC the internet is a misunderstanding of how networks work: you can fence the platforms, but you can't fence the protocol.

You close the bathroom door. 👀 That doesn’t make you a criminal. it makes you human.
We’re moving away from platforms that monetize your brain to tools that protect your autonomy. Read the interview with @JeffG on the mission behind White Noise and the Marmot protocol.

GM. The best way to predict the future is to build the tools that make it possible.
The last time you were robbed? Probably five seconds ago.
We accept a 100% tax on our digital lives. We feed the algorithm our thoughts, our networks, and our time. In return, we get served ads.
