I see your point.

Okay... now that I read it, they kinda of have a point. A rock and a hard place. Without the TOS, Google might give you a hard time. At the same time that TOS formulation is not really in the spirit of FOSS 🤔 Still my gut feeling is they don't like Nostr. Bitcoin "Nazis" and all. I remember FDroids draconian blockade on Gab mastodon apps.

Potentially criminal? I suppose they are still hosting Mastodon? What douchebags.

Did you remove the repository on FDroid?

I installed from FDroid a while back. Did you remove amethyst from that repository?

Even at 650 million light years away you would arrive instantly if traveling at lightspeed. Ofc only the spaceship would perceive it as instant. This is due to time dilation. Large and small. Far and close. Long and short are just ambiguous illusions 🌌🚀

Just du it!

And you got the 2nd to protect the first.

Great 👍

Has the image issue been mitigated in one way or another? I'm a bit hesitant to upgrade if others can't see my images.

I'm not saying that ppl should trust ed25519 -or any other encryption- but I am saying I wouldn't trust anything that NIST is advocating. Personally I have some reservations about ECC in general. I brought up Duel_EC__DRBG to illustrate how the NSA works. They paid RSA Security $10 million in a secret deal to use Dual_EC_DRBG as the default in the RSA BSAFE cryptography library, which resulted in RSA Security becoming the most important distributor of the insecure algorithm. NIST is not your friend.

There are similarities between the two. Unfortunately I'm not qualified enough as a cryptographer to be able to assess their holyistic integrity. Both use Moxie's Double Ratchet key management X3DH. The Ed448 looks almost overkill at 224-bit security. SimpleX 👇Ofc none of this matters if the if the hardware can't be trusted... and it can't.

For example, P-256r's seed is c49d360886e704936a6678e1139d26b7819f7e90. No justification is given for that value.

There are two points – P1 and P2 on a curve. The first is used to calculate a random value, which is a coordinate x of the production n*P1, where n can be considered as an internal state of the algorithm. P2 is used to change an internal state of the algorithm by calculating the production n*P2 and using its x coordinate as a new state. If there was a dependency between P1 and P2, e.g. if P2 = s*P1, then calculating internal state becomes trivial – it’s an x coordinate of s*P1*n, where both P1*n and ‘s’ are known to an attacker. Since a method of P2 selection has never been disclosed, it created suspicions that a backdoor key has existed and was known to the algorithm creator since day one.

Just one of so many examples.

Sounds hilarious! Where and how can I use this bot 😁

#Simplex is dope af. Might be time to part ways with Signal after all these years. Still testing it out.

I've been using GNuK on a $5 Blue Pill STM32F103 from ebay since 2017. When gNiibe -a DD- said "let's use 25519... I did. I have no plans to conform to complacency.

On a long enough time scale everything comes to an end. Success is not measured on when that end comes. The journey defines success or failure. #Bitcoin *is* awesome.

Be the change you want to see.

That Daniel j Bernstein let Jacob Applebaum (tor developer and activist) study his PhD under him, despite horrendous accusations, makes me trust Daniel j Bernstein even more. Ppl are crazy to trust an ECC with constraints that are invariable and chosen without "reason" ie P256 and other NIST stuff.
