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!!

No soft forks. No operators. No bridges.

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. View quoted note →

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 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.

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. View quoted note →

I'm not sure what was harder... @npub1jw7s...35fg 2.0 or @White Noise 2.0
