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. View quoted 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! View article → We also switched to date based release numbers.

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!

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. View article →

@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. View article →

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.
