Between private and public is "protected".
Discussion
or you could say "defended"
I was just thinking of a dev analog.
Private, protected, public functions.
protected sorta means immutable, except for authorised parties
actually, i think that the smart contract language Move has this notion - values that can only be altered by some specific owner, Move was quite interesting in the way that it stripped back the retardation of rust to narrow it to this notion of ownership and exclusive right of mutation
i'll go with Protected tho, it has a nice ring to it that is quite popular in speech these days
Instead of "private" it's "privacy protected"
private is an absolute and impossible to actually achieve, in practice
Yeah, people can just screenshot stuff or copy-paste the json, or whatnot.
it essentially means that only the permitted users can violate the privacy of their peers, the servers are programmed to restrict access without proof of membership in the group
i'm done with fiat mining for today, wrote a nice paginated iterator thing for them
so now i'm back to realy, which i'm in the process of documenting fully
but after these thoughts, i am making a mental note that when i come to rewriting the documentation of #realy and its #geyser page i'm going to call it a "privacy protected" relay and define that concisely.
shifting the liability away from the provider is essential to enable providing service, any service that does not protect privacy in this way is instantly less marketable.
Tbh "protected" sounds pretty vague, maybe "hidden" instead?
