If you want a masters degree from a university that's not useless, check out Hesperides. A private university that goes to extreme lengths to not receive any money from the state, with a solid curriculum for both Austrian economics and Bitcoin. I'll be teaching the masters on Bitcoin Privacy next semester. https://hesperides.edu.es/estudios/master-in-bitcoin-global-edition/

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 →

Just a casual 314x speed improvement to adding members to @White Noise groups incoming. @Danny the Cyber Guy is a wizard.

Quick update on @White Noise scaling. It seems the current limit is ~ 50 members in a group. Inviting additional members fails to deliver invite welcome messages to the new user. So best keep your groups under this size for now. We didn't focus on scaling at all so far. Step 1 was to make it work. Now comes a lot of performance improvements, which should also help with scaling. I'd love to reach at least 10k members in a group, in theory we can do even more, but thats hard engineering ahead.

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...

I'm not sure what was harder... @Wasabi Wallet 2.0 or @White Noise 2.0

You know where to DM me now...

@White Noise is finally out on @Zapstore! This was so damn hard. But I think we finally did it. Decentralized encrypted group messaging. Not a single privileged server in sight. View quoted note →
