Exactly. Bitcoin works best when it's strengthening real businesses, not propping up financial engineering. Productive companies with strong balance sheets beat debt-fueled gimmicks every time. ⚡

I agree, it's a steep hill. But if we fail, it will be on execution (my fault) and the next team will have to crack it.

At the end of the day, either the cypherpunk thesis was wrong, or we still need a general-purpose personal cryptosystem that regular people can actually use.

Steep hill or not, it's not optional and it's one I'm willing to die on.

That said, I assume I am wrong about plenty of details, so please let me know if you see any problems or better options. I'd genuinely love to hear them.

Thanks for digging in and feel free to reach out anytime.

No problem. Now that you fixed the cert, I read the article, Johnny Can Encrypt, and looked into zsub, starfortdb, and the larger thesis. It's very ambitious. I can see a very steep hill to climb to reach a beachhead or evidence of thesis validation. Not that the hill is not worth climbing...

Zsub is a general-purpose personal cryptosystem.

Here is what that really means.

Personal computers were the missing infrastructure that unlocked the value of software. The cypherpunk vision of transforming the world with strong cryptography has not materialized because we've been missing the equivalent infrastructure.

All cryptography architecture begins with root of trust. The correct root of trust must be the responsible person. The correct primitive is a seed in self-custody. This just isn't negotiable.

This is why I say the seed is the crown jewel of cryptographic primitives.

I don't say "Bitcoin seed" because the seed is NOT a feature of Bitcoin. It's the infrastructure that it runs on. Bitcoin runs on the seed. Nostr runs on the seed. SSH runs on the seed. Supply chains run on the seed. Authentication runs on the seed. Encrypted messages run on the seed. Secure networks run on the seed. ...

That means what we need is to own a seed, operate it across all the contexts of our lives, and apply it all the things we need to use. A system that does this for everyone has to hold and operate that seed securely, map it invisibly onto normal human actions and trust decisions, and integrate with the things that matter.

Some people say it's too hard. And true enough, it's not easy. But if we call ourselves cypherpunks, then this is the job. And it's what we're building.

Zsub is a general-purpose personal cryptosystem.

It's personal because the root of trust is you. It's general-purpose because the applications are many, but you are one.

Strong cryptography is for everyone.

This project looks really promising, I think you are solving a very core problem, interested to see it grow!

🎇 New release from Zsub: secure transport layers.

This repo contains the transport stack we will use for Zsub integration:

- Keel: secure link protocol: fixed cell, mutual auth and double ratchet.
- Submerge: reliable transport protocol: chunking, reassembly, and repair.
- Surface: the overlay traffic envelope for L2 and L3 traffic.
- Mooring: cross platform virtual interface manager.

Code, docs, and protocol drafts are up. Comments welcome.

This gets us very close to the final integration step and the first release we
will properly call Zsub.

Happy 250 and GN!
