Nope, just follow their public writing and what we focused on at Fission was complementary. I believe we need to encrypt all data, including at rest. Tailscale’s approach is to build new, encrypted pipes. From July this year, The New Internet https://tailscale.com/blog/new-internet

Other things to look at is Tailscale, who literally state they are building a new Internet, through their encrypted overlay networks A return to hardware / bare metal. Heterogenous compute. It’s not quite optical networking but definitely a bunch of changes.

Because on-chain doesn’t make sense for messaging. It also doesn’t improve onboarding — you still have to bring someone into an on chain app to use XMTP. It’s either high value comms — competition is acutely secure like Signal. Or it’s low value, where protocol overhead doesn’t make sense.

Thanks Mike. Yep I like Clerky for the simple formation part. Need a lawyer to represent the company to make proper token warrants.

It’s an all volunteer run conf where we’re budgeting to pay speakers an honorarium, record good video, and feed people lunch for two days, so yeah 119EU is low cost. DM if you have difficulty paying and would like to attend.

Entropy is a generative audiovisual artwork exploring themes of permanence and ownership. Every time the NFT is transferred, the onchain code model imposes a programmed process of repeated degradation in a manner similar to analog media. Released in 2021. A momento mori for the digital age. https://deafbeef.com/series/3

I asked for this at least once. The Fedica team implemented my spec for this for all the other networks ;) I’ll happily work with a dev to explain how this should work.

Thanks @paradigm for hosting. Good to see a few familiar faces like @gakonst @anett briefly. Talked about proto apps a bit, but mostly I just dropped in right at end of day to check it out and say hi. And drink a nice cortado.
