TEEs are tough. There will be a few white hats going for the keys. SGX won't save you.

Two new boards to play with since I'm pretty good at dropping the other ones but still stupid enough not to buy the cases. Wisblock is going on the roof and the lily go will go in my rotation for testing. #reticulum.

Reminder set not to use Nostr on May 22nd.

Don't get me wrong I love meshtastic and meshcore (meshcore a little more). They brought me to reticulum but never really understood why people act like Lora is the main transport method for reticulum. I think it's because most people find reticulum through other Lora protocols and are fascinated by how it works.

Played around with NIP-6 last night on Arrr. Debating how much I want to integrate #Nostr into the application. Having ecorn for off grid, privacy and small groups is great. Having the ability to reach out to a larger audience in case of a disaster is important once the internet comes back online. I don't necessarily see a huge need to use signers or "bring your own nsec" since every other nostr app would be better. Maybe a opportunity for people to secure a secondary or fall back account though.

One thing I'm excited to play with would be nip6 and ecorn. Every ecorn address can derive a nsec. Adding a simple signer and relay management is trivial. What does a social app look like with nostr as public by default and ecorn private by default infrastructure? With substantially less metadata around private nostr interactions it's actually really cool...

Hello World! I'm Nutty. Been a fan of #Nostr for a few years now. Recently been intrigued by #Meshtastic and then #Reticulum. I designed a protocol that I've been calling Ecorn (Encrypted Content Over Reticulum Network) to be a private, more personal Nostr. It's supposed to be complimentary where Nostr is the public square used for outreach and discovery. Ecorn is the private layer for close friends and family. Ecorn could be called a meaning layer. In a eli5 way, ecorn turns your lxmf reticulum inbox into private relay. All lxmf encrypted packets contain encrypted metadata. Arrr is my pilot app which takes these signed schema in you inbox and turns it into a rich social app. You post content to your groups. Which are MLS groups. Meaning your followers are added to "group chat" where you are exchanging signed schema to lxmf inboxes. Creators can set public engagement shared with the MLS group or private where only the creator sees likes and replies. Ecorn provides a ecorn123abc style address. Reticulum can get tricky with lxst, lxmf, id etc. Ecorn addresses are 24 words that incorporate everything. Below is a short demo on a pretty early/rough Arrr app. Lots of junk but the left account has the middle and right accounts added to their friends group with public engagement. They post a note and others like and reply. MLS gets updated and engagement sent out to others. Tested some rnodes for Lora and things seem to work fine. Ble testing needs some work still. I'm hoping for a ecorn spec release this month and Arrr shortly after.
