Previously, Vector was forced to go through several group chat wipes due to breaking changes on the past encrypted group chat protocol. Since then, it has been smooth sailing with the Concord Protocol migration. Bleeding-edge tech is never easy and always riddled with headaches... but it is important to us that there is always stability and reliability in the tech stack... not only just the principle behind it, but for the community, for the organizations, for the teams, for the users who rely on this infrastructure. We highly commend all teams, developers, and open-source protocols aiming to preserve privacy, throughout all the challenges. It is never an easy journey, but nothing worthwhile usually is. Thanks again to everyone for believing and building with us in this journey of Freedom Tech 💚 @JSKitty @YuurinBee

🌱 Please be sure to update Vector to the latest version (v0.4.1). Available on GitHub, VectorApp.io, @Zapstore GitHub:

Concord v2 Migration... Successful ✅ Vector v0.4.1 is now on Concord v2! (Compliments to the Chef, @JSKitty) The new group chat encryption protocol integrated since v0.4.0 has gone through some significant improvements and changes thanks to some great minds and contributions from around the world. Concord is an open-source protocol designed to make encrypted and private messages scalable, reliable, and consistent. Often with additional security measures for privacy-sake, it can rapidly add friction to the end user experience, making it slow and painful. Concord Fixes That. Concord Protocol has rapidly been gaining both attention and adoption in the Nostr ecosystem. Since its first release, there are more than 6 other clients that have integrated it (that we are aware of). Two notable clients are Armada by Soapbox Team and Amethyst. This means there can now be interoperability across different chat/messenger platforms and apps. ⚠️For all Community Owners/Creators in Vector, you will need to resubmit your Public Community to Vector Hub so that it can update with the latest Concord v2. 1. Create a New Invite Link 2. Resubmit on http://VectorApp.io/Hub 3. Reupload Community Avatar (Temporary) 4. Submit 🔰Join the Official Vector Community (chat.vectorapp.io) Last but not least, we wanted to give a special thanks to all of you who have been testing out Concord since the beginning and been helping to share feedback both to Vector and @Team Soapbox. We couldn't be more grateful, this is exactly how open-source protocols thrive. Always give credit to where it is due and first on that list is @Alex Gleason as well as @Derek Ross and the @Team Soapbox team for seeing the same challenges we faced in Vector with large group chats and communities, but also the potential that Concord possessed. Thanks to your time, efforts, and contributions Concord is evolving into something we all have needed... especially for a reliable, encrypted group chat standard here on Nostr. There is nothing better than running your own clients (settings, preferences, etc.), but communicating daily through the same protocol. Interoperability at its finest... --- 🌱Please be sure to update Vector to the latest version (v0.4.1). Available on GitHub, VectorApp.io, @Zapstore. --- Finally, we will be organizing an official blog article to go into a deeper dive with Concord Protocol with the intent to help the world understand it better. The plan is to have 2 modes, one for the layman and one for developers. Toggle on for your preference, but for those who want to read and learn you can do so and for those who want to get their hands-on experience, skip the tutorial and start playing with it... we have your best interests in mind. 😇

💣 Ephemeral Message Teaser Commonly referred to as: "Self-Destructing" "Disappearing" "Vanquishing" "Ephemeral" Messages that auto-delete once a set time interval passes (Ex: 10 seconds, 1 minute, 1 day). We've had this feature planned since the beginning, but it just took some time to implement due to the long backlog of other features. We will be releasing the first iteration in v0.4.1 soon™ (can already test on the v0.4.1 Pre-Release on GitHub). Thanks to everyone who suggested this nice privacy feature, you will be able to use it soon. If you have any feedback or suggestions to further improve it, like other time intervals, just let us know! Stay tuned for much more to follow in the v0.4.1 release... @YuurinBee @JSKitty
