Something I’ve been thinking about… The next internet won’t ask who you are. It won’t track, mine, or profile you. It will be built on trillions of identities—because no one is just one. The most valuable network of the future will be the one that knows the least about you.

Love your feedback. Working on a completely new feature that Signal can’t do: Off The Record™️ mode in Convos.org The problem with messengers today is that they are all tied to your phone number or username. Single identifier. Disappearing messages don’t matter when you can just screenshot or record anything. With XMTP, you can have infinite identities w/ different keys. The protocol also is Signal level secure. But… True privacy means nothing to screenshot. Nothing to record. No metadata to see. Protecting your information and tone so you don’t have to share your number or name to connect with someone. Just a QR code. You choose how you show up. Someone a creep? Delete em, they have no info on you. Theres a new foundation for privacy. Encryption is not enough. It’s not disappearing messages, it’s about disappearing everything and protecting my identity. What do you think of this?

If your messaging dies when the founder dies, it was never yours.

What do you think about this idea for more privacy in our messaging? Thinking about new ideas for Convos.org, our decentralized Signal. FaceID to open a convo, if it doesn’t detect your face or if someone looks over your shoulder and it detects 2 faces, it blurs the convo and requires FaceID again

Privacy isn’t about disappearing, it’s actually about choice.

Flight was delayed. So I scribbled this on a piece of paper.

Can someone please tell me how you would explain "content coins" to friends at dinner who don't care about crypto? Can anyone simplify this?

The only thing more dangerous than no privacy—is the illusion of it.

HOLY SHIT... In < 4 minutes, I just made an @xmtp inbox using @tryoharaai by simply typing the prompt "Build a decentralized chat inbox app using the XMTP SDK" This is my first attempt; but it even resolved errors when creating the inbox. Early, but wow. What's possible 🤯

We’ve been thinking about launching a “pre-launch” community for Convos but actually using our product just knowing it’s early access. Be an owner of the future, shape it, get your username, and help us shape the future of private and secure communication. Would you join?
