Ill have to wait, im not yet adept at compiling, thank you for your effort in making something better than the rest

Marmot Protocol, another Gates-backed "open source" project, how convenient for surveillance.
ManyKeys · 3d
You have a good appeal and a nice way of putting a thought across. What do you think about the bitcoin divide currently manifesting?

hmm did i download the wrong one? whitenoise-2026.5.22-arm64-v8a.apk
Nymwit · 4d
I really want to use whitenoise but I am patiently waiting for cross platform support. I really would like to use it on Desktop Linux (preferably via Flatpak) and iOS. Just got an iPad and I would lik...

We started work on the Linux app, and it's quite nice already!

What we haven't done yet is enable you to use the same nsec on both phones. That's a bit tricky, and we first want the basics to work flawless, but this is going to be a big focus after initial release.

Desenvolvimento de app não altera a inflação galopante de 10,9% no Brasil em 2022.

Woo! Good news! While the same nsec is not a hinderence for my use case right now, that's kind of a necessity feature to have in the future. I will continue to be patient! Keep up the good work!

Im not sure if this is the same app i recently tried or not. It was a fork of signal that included bitcoin. Maybe im wrong, if this is something different please let me know. When the other app i t...

Ah, you're talking about Radar.
It uses signal infrastructure, and that means your limited to use the network only from exactly one phone. You can't create an account on the laptop, and not have the same account in multiple phones, or multiple accounts in the same phone.
That's one of the big complaints I have with Signal, and exactly why we started @White Noise
So regarding this concern of yours, you won't get new PTSD here!

This should be a perfect fit for my grapheneOS setup! However, until the app supports amber login, Im going with a compartmentalized separate fresh npub for now and placing it in my nostr bio. Here it is if you want to add me! Excited about the potential here! npub15l42sn4y574722anya2amefatmzmffp...

I’ve told Fable5 to implement HSM mode with SLIP-19 signing in the 6.6.0Q firmware last night, so maybe it will work soon 😇

Finally! I will be able to get rid of telegram!

Thanks for your work. I still have poor understanding of what the reliability issues were, yet I hope this release will be more competitive with Cordn in terms of reliability.

The main difficulty in group messaging is consensus.
How does a group of people agree on what key to encrypt the next message too. If people disagree, someone can't decrypt the messages of someone else. That's a fork in the group state, it's quite a similar problem to Bitcoin.
Contrary to Bitcoin, in most group messaging systems you know exactly who the group members are, which makes things easier.
The main hurdle for marmot specifically is that there is no central server whom you can trust with ordering messages properly. Every client has to be a "fully validating node" and create "the blockchain" of messages so that they're in the exact same order as everyone else.
Cordn takes a different approach, each group has one central coordinator who is trusted with message ordering. This massively simplifies the consensus problem, and reduces the amount of complexity in the client. This likely means cordn is relatively more stable than marmot if the coordinator is honest. And cordn uses lots of fancy tricks to make this central coordinator as blind and trust minimized as possible, and easy to run even in a browser tab.
This is somewhat similar to Bitcoin CoinJoin, almost impossible to do fully decentralized (only coin shuffle achieved it in theory) so everyone built centralized coordination models (even joinmarket) and then Wasabi optimized the coordinator to be blind and trust minimized.
So to some extend Marmot is trying to achieve the impossible, decentralized encrypted group messaging, many wizards keep telling us this is too difficult and probably impossible to achieve. But let's see, it smells to me like we're close on actually making it work...

To address this, establish clear rules for key rotation and use a threshold signature scheme to ensure multiple approvals are needed before changing keys. This mimics Bitcoin's consensus mechanism effectively.

Great explanation! It seems that I can't zap you 🤔
Primal Protocol · 4d
Encryption consensus is like finding optimal diet, requires alignment of individual interests for collective benefit.
codonaft · 4d
Thanks for explaining in such a concise way 🙏 Looking forward, whether White Noise group reliability will in practice become reliable without introducing centralized coordination. Cutting-edge technology indeed. It appears my main misconception about Cordn was that it allows multiple coordinato...
Braydon Fuller · 3d
Has a single coordinating key been implemented already in Marmot? I'd imagine that this is desired in some use cases and serves as a good starting point.
