Nostr Web Client

This is very cool campaign. It makes zero sense for nostr:nprofile1qqsfhcskzx35zsnwj9rz2lz5z70z95tchd75zphzglwl8eg8k7v956cpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z722mwp5 to use a shitcoin for "private" transactions. Absolutely zero. Cashu integration would be much, much better for Signal customers.

I don't think it's generally a big deal. The government wanted encrypted communication too and we know they use it 🤣 after the war chat mistakes.

We also use SELinux every single day and that was developed by the NSA.

We also use SHA-256 every single day and as Bitcoiners we essentially worship it, yet it was again developed by the NSA.

I think this is all fine.

Well, I believe most nostr and bitcoin-users of nostr:nprofile1qqsfhcskzx35zsnwj9rz2lz5z70z95tchd75zphzglwl8eg8k7v956cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q80udzz are still unaware about nostr:nprofile1qqsfhcskzx35zsnwj9rz2lz5z70z95tchd75zphzglwl8eg8k7v956cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43q80udzz’s funding from the CIA and NSA, nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7qgmwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3e8qmr9vfejucm0d5hsmjg72m, nostr:nprofile1qqsx9l093ct9c62kscjjufwlc98uv58yl9mfyf8n5qhr2c2axghrggqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0d4hhxarj9ecxjmnt9ucl3rr6.

I think it’s a problem that many Signal-users are unaware of the trade-off’s they’re making with their ‘private’ ‘E2E-encrypted messages’ in Signal.

I’m saying ‘private’ because of spyware like Pegasus and Paragon.

I believe we should inform #nostr and Signal-users about Signal’s funding from intelligence / three-letter-agencies, like the NSA and CIA.

In my mind, we truly need nostr:nprofile1qqs8t4ehcdrjgugzn3zgw6enp53gg2y2gfmekkg69m2d4gwxcpl04acppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0l2sp3z by nostr:nprofile1qqspwwwexlwgcrrnwz4zwkze8rq3ncjug8mvgsd96dxx6wzs8ccndmcpzamhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejshdzhxu, nostr:nprofile1qqst0mtgkp3du662ztj3l4fgts0purksu5fgek5n4vgmg9gt2hkn9lqpypmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuetfde6kuer6wasku7nfvuh8xurpvdjj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxz7n6v9kk7tnwv46z7pxxtmh and the rest of the MLS-team, in addition to nostr:nprofile1qqsy2ga7trfetvd3j65m3jptqw9k39wtq2mg85xz2w542p5dhg06e5qpzdmhxue69uhhvct4d36zu6tjd9ejuar0w3mpq9’s Double Ratchet encryption algorithm.

Signal is in a bit of a trust me bro situation, as with most end to end encrypted messaging applications where you don't own the signing keys.

White Noise fixes this, but has a long road ahead of itself to where it's usable in the real world and by the masses. They're working hard and I'm confident they'll get it right.

I assume your outage issues this morning is because Signal uses AWS, like 1/3 of the Internet, and it seems like many popular services and applications are struggling today.
