A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

what would be the best way to encrypt a cast, so that only a set of selected fids can decrypt it?

(ofc not in warpcast, warpcast would only see gibberish)

BDFL of Quilibrium, Eng @ Farcaster, ex-Coinbase, always opinionated, never hydrated

Doesn’t this start to sound like a group version of the Direct Cast mechanism 

(triple ratchet designed by @cassie)

I’m not sure, but my sense when listening to explanations of the scheme, that it can/wil be multi party. (??)

haha you are right, but we want to get something running in 2 weeks and with 10% of @cassie's brain while implementing other things as well

give a js lib to your script kiddie (me)

Channels are technically permissionless, so if you made posts to one that Warpcast doesn’t track you’d be able to do so without having to worry about a bunch of encrypted data appearing in Warpcast and confusing folks, but I’d highly encourage adding a proposal to the direct casts FIP or even a separate one.
