Really good explainer video on MLS:

It clearly shows the difference between nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7cfwdehhxtnvdakz7qg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgkhqatz9emk2mrvdaexgetj9ehx2ap0ausuw9 's encrypted chat approach and my groups proposal. MLS introduces a binary tree to manage key sharing with many of the same benefits as the simpler key sharing mechanism but with a ratchet algorithm that requires a logarithmic number of messages to be sent compared to the number of group participants.
Very cool. Something we can use for Nostr Slack. BTW - we need a catchy name for this app. Workstr? People3? Ideas welcomed and zapped.
Good morning nostr fam.
Not to be overly political but would RFK Jr becoming president be a positive form of resistance/change? He is a BTC supporter and for empowering citizens but some of his positions are challenging for the mainstream.
A fair point and goal. Though if we can create topic communities people can inhale whatever they want. But to go mainstream crypto heaviness will make it tougher to grow.
A new Amethyst logo
Proposal by nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx
2023-10-23
Amethyst, the most popular Nostr client for Android, was first launched in early January 2023. Its original logo design featured a tall, warm purple hexagon with the shape of an ostrich head and beak in the negative space that was also vaguely reminiscent of an arm with a hand making the shaka symbol. 🤙
Since then, it has undergone iterations, and now features a cooler purple-to-blue gradient in a more abstract shape which somewhat resembles an A, but isn’t as successful as it should be.
In nature, an amethyst is a hexagonal crystal with deep and rich violet colors. This new design attempts to bring some of that back in a thoughtful and refined way. The new design features an avian face, made up of simple geometric shapes set into a symmetrical hexagon with rounded edges. The colors are vibrant and contrasting, and it is accompanied by a geometric sans-serif typeface that is both bold and distinctive.
I hope this new logo will be embraced by the community, as I think it will help elevate Amethyst to have a friendlier and more polished-looking brand, while still staying true to its origins, and the spirit of the Nostr. 💜

Good morning nostr!
Good morning. Wish I could have gone. Next year for sure.
I love that picture. I may need to make it my avatar for a time :). So far not many are recognizing my Nash the Stampede avatar atm.
