Fall is pretty wild and fun. Cryptonomicon built such a cool world. Neat to see how it progresses.

Big day here... Ephemera has acquired @converseapp, and as of 9 am EST, we open-sourced it. Converse is the simplest and fastest app built on XMTP. The Converse team has been building with XMTP since day one, and with the ability to reach over 2m+ identities on XMTP, we are excited to put more resources into building a better future together. We need to make using crypto as easy as sending a message. We have already started implementing secure groups into Converse and we have so much more work to do so everyone in the world has a secure messaging application that is native to crypto. Everything starts with trust. The world needs an open, secure, and decentralized communication platform. One that everyone can trust to build on and use. That’s why we are open-sourcing the application layer, which is also built on the open & secure XMTP network.

Doh! I was conflating the Bluetooth presence stuff, with mmWave. Personally trying to do both. Looks like you got some Everything Smart Home presence detectors? Those are so nice! I’ve got some Lite’s myself.

XMTP v3 is powered by MLS, which has many similar properties and is also an IETF standard (architecture for MLS can be seen here: https://messaginglayersecurity.rocks/) More on XMTP’s implementation will be available in the near future but for now check this out: https://xmtp.org/docs/build/group-chat

Just got through Brussels customs. Wow that was a real dumpster fire. 🛃 …but then a customs agent pulled my wife, 4mo daughter, and I out of line, saying he didn’t want the baby to wait. Dude literally had left his customs window after seeing us, just because. 🥹

While it’s by no means a scientific measure, lately I’ve found that Claude 3.5 Sonnet has been producing much, much better output than ChatGPT 4o, which is really saying something. Anyone else had similar experience? Different? What’s been better for you?

Page Properties are really nice since becoming first-class. One thing I’m still hoping for though is a List property that is filtered based on a defined tag. That way “People” property could suggest pages tagged with #person… Or a “Status” property could confine suggestions to #status/… cc @kepano

Travel is booked, and I’ll be heading to Brussels for EthCC! Looking forward to jamming with y’all on group chats, /xmtp, and making web3 work for everyone. Any get-togethers or events that I can’t miss?

They’re on the way. Converse soon (it’s in alpha testing), and here’s the beta list for it: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeGLkTR41GhDCt6-u_ElgbMUb85bO-biHn_UUgXZmQO6K8H1g/viewform

A MASSIVE upgrade to /xmtp just arrived on the production network: Group chat is now live! It’ll take a bit for clients to be updated to use groups, but devs can jump in today. That’s not all though—it’s also a major security upgrade with improved privacy! More here: https://warpcast.com/xmtp/0x0187bc25

@stephancill that’s something that is well within the realm of possibility after moving into a new identity paradigm with XMTP (details here https://community.xmtp.org/t/xip-46-multi-wallet-identity/639). Also, Farcaster follow graph-based spam filtering would be totally possible today, at the client-level.

You can build a group chat protocol in a day or two. Not that hard. Building one that respects user privacy is a different story. Congrats to the team on shipping a version of group chat in line with our core values around privacy and security. Getting all those checkboxes on the same chart is no small feat.

Since day 1, devs have asked us for 1 thing: secure + private group chat. Today, we are stoked to announce the production launch of XMTP groups, leveraging MLS to bring the most secure, privacy preserving, soon-to-be decentralized group chat to devs. Head over to Discourse to 🔖 Learn more about XMTP's group chat features 🙌 Join Converse's waitlist for groups 🏗️ Build group chat with XMTP! A big thank you to our core team, led by @nplasterer, and the amazing XMTP developer community for your continuous support & feedback -- we couldn't have achieved this milestone without you. And a special shoutout to Cryspen for building OpenMLS and helping us integrate it securely! https://community.xmtp.org/t/xmtp-now-with-secure-and-private-group-chat-built-with-mls/666
