How Keychat thinks about group The essence of a group is to establish a boundary where only members can participate in communication. In a decentralized system, this boundary can only be enforced through encryption. Groups generally fall into two categories: **chat groups** and **feed groups**. The former focuses on interaction—members are visible to each other, and messages are shared with the entire group. The latter is centered around content sharing—members are invisible to one another, and messages are individually encrypted for each recipient rather than broadcast to all. Compared to chat groups, feed groups create much less social pressure, allowing both the sharer and the recipients to interact in a more relaxed and private environment. View quoted note →

We’re not quite sure why so few Nostr clients choose to use seed phrases. View quoted note →

Maybe someday, paying just 1 ecash sat automatically when visiting a site will mean no more ads. The ecash sat can simply be included in the HTTPS request header. View quoted note →

What makes Keychat’s ecash wallet truly unique is its support for stamps — automated, programmatic micro ecash payments. For transfers as small as 1 sat, manual operations simply don’t make sense, since the time spent would cost more than the sat itself. View quoted note →

Maybe it’s more appropriate to call Keychat users “Keychat customers.” Those who pay are the real customers. In most “free” apps, it’s the advertisers — not the users — who are the customers, while the users themselves are the product.

by @calle is a Mini App for Keychat. You can log into it seamlessly through the Keychat browser like this 👇

In Keychat, everything starts with a 12-word seed phrase. The seed phrase derives multiple IDs, which can serve as both chat IDs and browser IDs. It also derives the private key used to recover the wallet. Both chatting and using mini apps in the browser rely on the ID and wallet.

One year ago today, we publicly introduced Keychat. The letter metaphor helped many people understand what Keychat is all about. Today, Keychat is officially live — and even more focused on serving Bitcoiners. “Keychat is the super app for Bitcoiners. Autonomous IDs, Bitcoin ecash wallet, secure chat, and rich mini apps — all in Keychat. Autonomy. Security. Richness.” This is our first time building a Bitcoin-related app, and as Bitcoiners, we’re truly enjoying it. Thank you for sharing our notes, helping more people discover Keychat, and giving us valuable feedback. We need this kind of support. View quoted note →
