The day I can delete Telegram forever will be a great day.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

It’s better than any other messenger tho

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

yes - I don't want to give out a phone number

this is why I like the Farcaster direct casts approach by @cassie - same encryption as Signal as far as I understand but no phone number

supposedly XMTP plans to take a similar approach over time

but Farcaster DCs don't have good good cross platform support + both don't work with groups, so telegram it is for now

one challenge with x-platform support is that it intrinsically weakens security. 

how do you know if your counterparty using a different app is not leaking all your data because of a bad implementation? 

no one has a good answer for this today.

@polmaire.eth this is a good q

what trust assumptions regarding my privacy do i make while using converse?

honest explanation, thanks

whats the best way to show that a client is secure? open source + audit?

Good question indeed.

1/ server side: today, you trust XMTP Labs because they run all nodes and node code is not open source. Tomorrow : open source + decentralization = server side should become trustless.
