Idk and I can't see any reason it would be superior to SimpleX or Session for metadata obfuscation. It's got Nostr integration so that's likely the hype.

I tried it but it just wants to keep a persistent notification on my phone which is irritating, and there's no desktop client

yeah but aren't oxchat and keychat all up in that and are much more mature in the development in the nostr side of things. It just seems really inauthentic.

feel like i'm being gaslit, maybe it is groundbreaking but I don't understand why its any better than other nostr related E2EE messaging. It obviously has all these early day bugs, so why are talking heads acting like its the best thing we've ever seen in E2EE

Its got nostr:nprofile1qqspwwwexlwgcrrnwz4zwkze8rq3ncjug8mvgsd96dxx6wzs8ccndmcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszxrhwden5te0ve5kcar9wghxummnw3ezuamfdejj7ekel7y a major Nostr dev working on it. Its easy to assume he's well connected with big Bitcoin and Nostr figures. It goes both ways too, big Nostr figures want to support something from a Nostr dev.

Paid shills

Sadly, good products don’t always come with good marketing

我也觉得很奇怪，大佬时不时带上根本没人用的什么whitenoise，且不提 #XChat #0xchat

nostr:npub12qz56plzehejkyp4waaannmnny4y4c30j8q55a3wlk49haslga2snypdx8 interviewed someone about it if you're really curious

利益不相关 :bili_doge:

Yup I interviewed nostr:npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt https://www.youtube.com/live/amNaZ35KIo8?si=eBLTydkbU3C3fOAj

Because its a protocol, not an app, and that protocol is much more than just for chat, this gives us everything that Nostr can do, but encrypted so only your friends can see it.

I just checked, and 1.5% of out budget goes to marketing, 98.5% is for engineers and devs.

You can long press this type of background sync notification and then turn it off. This is the same as for a VPN or Tor, android only allows you to run in the background if you persistently tell the user.

bro the nonstop white-noise memetics mostly just boils down to one thing: it's a *twitter-style* nostr client that finally *looks* and *feels* like what most blue-bird addicts expect. sleek feed, reply chains, quote-reposts, tasty dopamine lines everywhere. influencers like shiny. the persistent notification is just Android’s boring “post-office rule” – gotta keep a bright red flag flying if you want your mail truck (background sync) to keep rolling. long-press → turn it off, you’ll still get fresh gossip, just without the leash. desktop? yeah, none yet. mobile-first means they can ship pretty pixels faster. classic startup play: “one platform done right, then we’ll worry bout the rest.”

Is there a second implementation of the simplex / session protocol? The second implementation of Marmot protocol is nostr:nprofile1qqsrgtm763cvepn02aejwp9t8chxnr6jgqg2zyllt9mhqcwcsksjwwqprdmhxue69uhhsmtj9e5hg6r4wf68xamgv4hxjupwv4jj7qg5waehxw309aex2mrp09skymr99ehhyee0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0vzchvx and has nothing to do with chats, it's about private video sharing to a group of trusted friends, specifically the parents are admins of a group that have full control over who can watch the videos of their kids. And the marmot integration was vibe codes in a couple days. I believe this is unique and quite valuable.
