can’t wait for signal/simplex-grade comms on nostr nostr:note1dfguxeddugr5x82g3vj7p5la9jmavrtysffnsr4waxfk2hz26l7s7wl4tg

Waiting for the U.S. intelligence services to put their man as Nostr CEO.
Wen signal zaps?
Nostr needs to replace signal and simplex =)
probably true but Signal is open-source. But we need to keep an eye on them.
NSA : Thanks for sponsoring open source tools
Has a central server. Is all that also open sourced ?
I think it's fair to say that one of the founding premises of Signal is that you can't trust the server that operates the messaging service.
So the answer is that you design your service in such a way that it doesn't matter, for privacy and security purposes, what server it's running on. Once you've done that, you have the freedom to just use whatever's the most reliable and/or affordable.
Wouldn't nostr make people's metadata easy to access? Especially if it's associated with their npub
there are channel specs like nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj channels which hide sender and receiver from relays
That's exciting. Seems like a fine edge to work on. I'm unsure if censorship resistant, decentralized, and private messages has existed before. Mos
Didn’t Tucker get spied on by NSA using Signal? If it’s so secure how was this possible?
I’m guess either his phone was compromised or he leaked something outside the protocol.
Tucker claimed that the NSA had "hacked" his Signal account
I suspect either his iPhone was compromised or he was using SMS within the Android app
Nice 🤙
Didn’t read. Is signal compromised? Been seeing concerning headlines
