any future for gated channels where casts are private at the protocol level? direct casts is one option, but has a number of ux drawbacks

You could build a client that encrypts cast content and decrypts it within your client.

that’s an amazing idea maybe we’ll build this at Fairmint for founders to communicate with investors and GPs to communicate with syndicates/LPs anyone know what the most popular tools for this are today?

This is easier to say then it is to implement. If you need it to scale encrypting a cast for many people runs into a lot of complexity.

I feel like a static symmetric key per channel is fine. It means you can't remove people etc, but it works fine for certain use cases. I spent a bit of time working on something like that a few months ago. https://warpcast.com/deanpierce.eth/0xc7bd00ec

I can easily recast everything into a different channel where it’s decrypted and no one would know who’s leaking it. I don’t know why you’d want to do that will a separate client

How is that different from any other scheme? If you send a message to any encrypted group, someone could leak messages anonymously. If leaks become a problem, you could post a message that the channel is compromised, and rebuild with a smaller more trusted community. Ideally channel decryption would be standardized.

Fair enough. My point is mostly what problem are you actually solving with encryption? If you need secrecy, why not just host a federated hub, where the messages are purely for some set of fids?

I mostly like the idea where all channels are just symmetrically encrypted by default with the channel name, so to someone hosting hubs, they would only be able to read well known and advertised channels. Channels with fully random names would be extra private until someone leaks the name.
