A good day to migrate TG groups to Farcaster…

I love @dwr.eth and co, but I'd rather hold off until we have something that is end-to-end encrypted.

I also think that to get ecosystem-wide adoption, it should be federated, someone using one messenger should be able to talk to people using other messengers.

Realistically, I'm not interested today because I don't want to have yet another private key to track.

If you solve that problem somehow (native social recovery? though not with secret sharing; you need the ability to expire old keys for security imo) then that makes it much more interesting to me.

what do folks think about nostr around these parts?

Hey @shanemac.eth @polmaire.eth does Converse support XMTP group chats yet? I'm still not seeing them, but also I haven't seen any app updates in three months.

I feel like we're *so close* to magical encrypted web3 messaging utopia. 🌈🦄

Quilibrium, the decentralized MPC platform as a service

is any project you know already building towards that?

@cassie have you thought of pushing @quilibrium in that direction?

Come build the most secure and private messaging network in the world—owned by the people who build it and use it.

We need a decentralized & secure messaging app built for crypto.
Your messages. Your privacy. No phone number Built with @xmtp https://converse.xyz/ /converse

what do you think about @xmtp protocol, and @converseapp ?
good candidate?

Do you think @xmtp could be a valid option?

Pls see @xmtp @shanemac.eth that I previously mentioned in private especially your second point. 
Message portability already exists across XMTP clients and eventually inside apps too. That’s a big aha.

Isn’t signal that? 

We need a way to scale groups though

Matrix + Matrix bridges. Although I think the e2e story in Matrix is not that clear cut, there are some compromises on the group chat e2e

encryption is a joke if your devices are compromised

You could build an e2e encryption layer on top of the Farcaster protocol. Honestly, I think Farcaster is the right balance between decentralization and usability.

Protocols that support multiplatform use are simply the best 🙌
