:monero:


There was a NIP proposal for adding general contact info links which includes SimpleX. NIP-48 is for bridging content from other platforms, NIP-39 is for verifying identities of other platforms, which I suppose could be done for SimpleX addresses if there was a way to sign messages with the public keys. I think NIP-24 kind 0's are the most suitable for linking to SimpleX addresses as described here: https://github.com/retrnull/garnet/issues/8


100% SimpleX. It's far more reliable and private than Keet. SimpleX explains on their website the issues with P2P designs. https://simplex.chat/#comparison-with-p2p-protocols


SimpleX is a real private messaging app with end-to-end encryption, and unlike some other non-Signal E2EE messaging apps has perfect forward secrecy.

This is simply a misinformation. Read Ben's comment. These people are among hundreds of their LPs, without direct influence on any of the invested companies.

> I believe in SimpleX Chat vision and team’s ability to execute it. The growing number of Internet users who demand privacy of their data and contacts will make SimpleX Chat profitable, which is critically important for any sustainable organization.

> We are fortunate to have LPs who founded many iconic Internet ventures. But they don’t have any influence on the 400+ companies we invested in. They are financial investors in our fund and exert no control or influence on any of the underlying portfolio companies.

> What's more, we believe that founders should lead their ventures, as it yields better results – our investment in SimpleX Chat has no control provisions. We are happy to help, but we don’t control any decisions nor have a board seat. Evgeny runs the company independently.

Relay list to discover the user's content


Relay list to store private content from this author


How do I join the alpha? I signed up via email and it says I'm on the waiting list.

Hi, yes, coming this year


I'm excited for the last one, for obvious reasons.

They sell an overpriced "privacy" hotspot, it's technically a donation so they don't pay tax.


I use this https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/04.md is it not private and secure?????? What does PFS do????? I


But what about my private messages


Media and files could count as other stuff which is transmitted via relays rather than being uploaded to a single webserver like what happens on Nostr. Here's an article if you want to learn more about SimpleX's file transfer protocol specially https://simplex.chat/blog/20230301-simplex-file-transfer-protocol.html


Actually, in a way it is, it's not THE Nostr protocol but it is notes (messages) and (not really other stuff) transmitted by relays.


No, but it's a very similar design with relays. Nostr has largely failed to provide a private and secure DM protocol so far so that should be a good thing. nostr:nevent1qqs04jkx6rxfnzs8a3dc3gxsqpvjhe9yat74y3hdmfw53efeu22g6qcqrau8x


This is for verifying identity to contacts, not discovery. Nothing needs to be done on SimpleX's end for discovery but Nostr devs declined.


No need to compromise on discoverability or privacy. Nostr can be used as a discorrability layer for SimpleX (or any other messaging app) but this has been turned down twice. There were discussions about interesting SimpleX with Nostr last year but it never went anywhere, someone made a proposal for a contact info field to replace the DM button with but that was declined.


Had a bit too much to drink?


You can't unrepost either


Yep, which unfortunately most people aren't going to do, and it's debatable whether we actually own the domains either when compared to cryptographic keys like Nostr


And you actually own your identity unlike X/Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky


im early


hi


How the hell do you unreport someone on here?


Nope


Double ratchet hasn't been broken


SimpleX already made double ratchet quantum resistant, so I don't need to worry


Yeah


Interesting


Hm?


It's good to be prepared


Quantum computers may or may not break through it


Yep


I can't decipher that


Yeah, I think that's an encrypted message


They know who's talking to who and how frequently


All their message metadata is visible to the service provider


No, it doesn't


I'm aware


they should be using SimpleX if they want to stay hidden


That's crazy


XMPP is pretty obsolete as well


You can't deny it


Literally signed


seems like you don't know how to work your PGP software :P


That's not hidden


You said I'm a faggot


That was just a signed message, not an encrypted message?


Double ratchet isn't in the PGP specification


That's not how it works


I never said elliptic curve cryptography is bad


Yes


It uses double ratchet


PGP? No


We're on Nostr so it's signed anyway


Literally useless


It's obsolete technology


It's not compromised


Unless it's to securely pass a SimpleX link


You shouldn't use Bitcoin, Nostr, PGP, etc for encrypted messages


PGP is


Better options exist for secure messaging that lower if not completely mitigate the risk of a key compromise


yep


They're fine


No


I said if your key gets compromised, I could decrypt your messages


I never said that


I won't


it shouldn't be used for encrypted messaging anymore and there's better options for signing stuff... Like Nostr


Alright


It's the same with Nostr dms


I do


PGP is obsoletetechnology


If your key is compromised all your past messages and future messages until you rotate keys are visible to the attacker, assuming they can access the ciphertext


PGP doesn't have forward secrecy


How?


SimpleX is far better


2 taps a way for a none technical attacker and they have your recovery seed and permanent access to your account and all your messages. Not even hidden behind PIN or biometrics


They removed forward secrecy


Session is worse


I love #Nostr


#Monero suffering a spam attack again

Proton VPN finally got a themed icon on Android along with a new look https://image.nostr.build/1c1cc00c586072f591711a6c64958153fcc769c49e8cd5fc9e69190f7416ad01.jpg https://image.nostr.build/719b59662ded7795beb4f818d6d62607fb1c693471e299c3d60702834aeecc60.jpg


Didn't get my zaps :(


I just downloaded it for the wallet :)


It's BTC or XMR my friend


I don't think I've seen any LTC people on here


It looks the same as yours..?


nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 will save us


It works fine?


It's optional. Some people may find use of them, I see this especially benefitial for businesses


Term*


I like to use Nostr as a way to maintan a long tern identity and reputation. SimpleX is private messaging


DNS-based contact/group discovery is planned :) https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat#roadmap


We just need to get Proton to support it


I'm ashamed to be British


hi


yeah, seems so


it's becoming mine unfortunately


that's the public key..


get via GitHub releases with Obtainium


absolutely


decent recommendations except CalyxOS and LineageOS are horrible choices


App*


App"


Most people end up enabling PLAINTEXT cloud backups because the all encourages that. e2ee definitely is broken for most people


He's free to join us, he's attempting to implement ActivityPub to Threads but it's awful


Yep, they nudge for plaintext cloud backups, completely undermines e2ee


Ah, I don't think it has it anymore either..


Send them to nostr:npub1c9d95evcdeatgy6dacats5j5mfw96jcyu79579kg9qm3jtf42xzs07sqfm as they will send them to GrapheneOS


Molly is looking to defentralize too which should be interesting


Yggdrasil is the way


GrapheneOS and CalyxOS are much different. GrapheneOS is a hardened OS with substantial privacy and security improvements:

grapheneos.org/features

CalyxOS is not a hardened OS. It substantially reduces security. It regularly goes months not shipping critical security patches.

CalyxOS is closely related to LineageOS and heavily based on it. LineageOS is not at all security-focused but rather is focused on broad device support which comes with major compromises. It adds a lot of attack surface and it doesn't keep up with major releases.

Compatibility with Android apps on GrapheneOS is also much different. GrapheneOS provides our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer:

grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxe…

Can run the vast majority of Play Store apps on GrapheneOS, but not CalyxOS with the problematic microG approach.

some idiot Chromium engineer who worked on webp is blocking it from being put in. see jpegxl.info

on desktop install https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jpeg-xl-viewer/bkhdlfmkaenamnlbpdfplekldlnghchp

on mobile choose a browser that has it already. Cromite is a good option https://github.com/uazo/cromite

iOS and Firefox users don't need to bother


Unfortunately, the AOSP/GrapheneOS keyboard only receives basic maintenance now


Hold down enter key on GrapheneOS keyboard for emojis :)


OpenBoard has been forked! https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

will likely be renamed to HeliumBoard soon


We have so many good PS3/Xbox 360/Switch games available that can play on an emualtor for free, I really don't see a reason to beyond multiplayer but even that is being worked on for the emulators


I haven't bought any games or DLC in nearly 3 years. I am much happier now


Hi, real person. You followed me so I thought I'd check you out


I love the Chinese spam


I'm new to this app
