Do take the time to listen and understand--Most people won't. Evgeny is building the future of privacy-first client-side communication. #cybersecgirl #simplex nostr:nevent1qqsxng74t222rtd7vv8d3azv62l344ktz0v0srzsvjkwdzqvzms9svcpr9mhxue69uhhqatjv9mxjerp9ehx7um5wghxcctwvspzqn4csvgddd8djhrdv63etv7nea2ehp06aj8hdyw6l4q94yhq2htdqvzqqqqqqyj7ghg8

Killer vid. I see the epic mesh...would be w/ SimpleX ideology. What do you think? Client side computing ftw? I think so. nostr:nevent1qqsryhuhzrkase7he65nc3nzatdafwl7mx6f7z473eqjd86mgkd3t8gueg3aj

I'm all onboard with client-side no-trusting-servers we-can-build-our-own-thank-you-very-much. Simplex looks like it provides good privacy. I haven't reviewed it and I don't know if you need to trust the mix network or can specify your own or whatnot. But the pieces that a privacy solution would need seem to be there so it certainly could be very good. I wonder however that if you can send URLs over simplex and if the person clicks it you have exposed them. That wouldn't be a simplex bug, but it points out that privacy and security require closing all the holes/leaks, not just the ones you can think of right now. We did something with sligntly less private with NIP-59, NIP-17, NIP-44, but the relay sees your client drop the giftwrap on to it, so it still can't give you ideal privacy. Perfect privacy is just very hard without VPN/Tor.
