Migration off telegram, and onto Quorum, for @ro and my daily collaboration has started in earnest. With the implementation of images, we now have the key feature parity points we needed. The flex @cassie is pulling here is so profoundly inspiring. This is what years of working on an underlying architecture, and getting hard shit right, looks like. Pulling staggeringly good performance numbers out on the early scaling atop Q - it looks like @cassie did this new messenger client in the last month, but really this is landing years of preparatory work to be able to make rock solid, material software artefacts of this calibre this quickly.

Appreciate your summary as I've been eyeing Quorum (thanks to your casts!) and wondering if it would be a good option for moving our group chat out of Warpcast DCs. If you're leaving TG and moving there, I'm even more tempted. Do you know if signups are open yet, or is it only a limited group of beta testers right now? Didn't see that info in the FAQ.

(AFAIK) It's completely open and permissionless by design. The operating-system passkeys (the emerging standard for handling private-keys, at the operation-system level), that @cassie is using as the auth mechanism, are utterly permissionless and local-first, and there is no centralisation (entrapment) possibility “because Quilibrium”. The passkeys are potentially a little rough still, but that’s because of the transition the industry (Apple, Microsoft, et al. at the OS level) is still in progress…but one speculative take (less speculative by the month) is that passkeys ARE the way out of the quagmire of “genpop-users managing their own private-keys” problem. fidoalliance.org/passkeys/
