286 00:17:54,030 --> 00:17:55,290 And how do you do that efficiently? 287 00:17:55,850 --> 00:17:58,370 Because hyperdrives, when we used it natively 288 00:17:58,370 --> 00:18:00,510 in the HyperCore protocol, 289 00:18:00,650 --> 00:18:03,310 hyperdrives were just a slog. 290 00:18:03,670 --> 00:18:06,270 Like HyperB and like the HyperSwarm, 291 00:18:06,450 --> 00:18:08,490 that stuff has worked amazingly. 292 00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:12,230 And hyperdrive works great on like a one-off type thing. 293 00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:22,870 But if I'm trying to share 100,000 files from my Linux machine to my MacBook, which is child's play for what I have over there, it's just a it's it's dead in the water. 294 00:18:22,990 --> 00:18:28,590 Like I'm just it's using three times what my brave browser is with 40 tabs open. 295 00:18:28,810 --> 00:18:30,230 You know, it's just churning. 296 00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:43,390 And so that was our main focus is how do we do that in a way that makes sense and doesn't just take gargantuan amounts of resources and duplicates of files and all of this stuff. 297 00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:49,170 But now we're in this, okay, how do we log in multiple devices on one account? 298 00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:55,650 How do we hand over keys or say this key is my key and sort all that out? 299 00:18:55,650 --> 00:19:00,070 And that turns out to be its own extremely hard problem. 300 00:19:00,730 --> 00:19:05,110 And I know y'all have a clever setup in White Noise, but I haven't dug into it. 301 00:19:06,890 --> 00:19:09,370 Yeah, this is a hard problem, really. 302 00:19:09,610 --> 00:19:11,110 And especially to do it at scale. 303 00:19:12,070 --> 00:19:20,330 It's easy to have the prototype that can do a couple files, but to do the full file system and terabytes of data, that's a different type of beast. 304 00:19:20,330 --> 00:19:20,770 Yeah. 305 00:19:20,770 --> 00:19:27,450 So for WhiteNoise or the Marmot protocol, there's, I guess, two things. 306 00:19:27,550 --> 00:19:30,170 There's the MLS, Messaging Layer Security. 307 00:19:30,630 --> 00:19:36,690 It's an IETF standard for basically creating a group encryption system, 308 00:19:37,010 --> 00:19:43,050 where the idea is that everyone in a group knows the same symmetric key 309 00:19:43,050 --> 00:19:46,090 to encrypt the messages to and to then later decrypt them. 310 00:19:46,350 --> 00:19:50,690 And the idea of secure encryption is that we rotate keys. 311 00:19:50,770 --> 00:19:53,250 to which we actually encrypt our data to. 312 00:19:53,990 --> 00:19:56,250 And that is part of the MLS spec. 313 00:19:57,690 --> 00:19:59,950 Probably, I'm not sure how deep we should go into it, 314 00:20:00,030 --> 00:20:01,730 in part because I don't understand it that deeply. 315 00:20:01,890 --> 00:20:03,970 Like, MLS is insanely complicated. 316 00:20:04,390 --> 00:20:06,430 The specification is 170 pages. 317 00:20:07,250 --> 00:20:09,270 Like, it's kind of wild. 318 00:20:10,810 --> 00:20:14,410 But ultimately, whenever you add a member to a group, 319 00:20:14,410 --> 00:20:16,190 or you remove a member from the group, 320 00:20:16,450 --> 00:20:18,610 or you change the group name, 321 00:20:18,610 --> 00:20:21,090 or when people do a self-update, 322 00:20:22,210 --> 00:20:23,990 we rotate this key. 323 00:20:24,810 --> 00:20:27,950 And this is like a whole kind of state machine 324 00:20:27,950 --> 00:20:30,870 that gets you to a new set of key 325 00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:34,290 and that's then distributed to everyone else. 326 00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:35,930 So you create a new key 327 00:20:35,930 --> 00:20:37,870 and you encrypt it to the keys 328 00:20:37,870 --> 00:20:40,390 that the previous persons in the group know. 329 00:20:40,790 --> 00:20:42,250 And everyone kind of has his own key 330 00:20:42,250 --> 00:20:43,670 that gets it encrypted too. 331 00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:47,930 But it uses Merkle tree space. 332 00:20:47,930 --> 00:20:49,990 are not quite Merkle trees, but binary trees 333 00:20:50,011 --> 00:20:51,531 which makes it super efficient. 334 00:20:52,011 --> 00:20:55,511 So in theory, you could have a million people in a group 335 00:20:55,511 --> 00:20:57,551 and you can kick someone out 336 00:20:57,551 --> 00:21:01,351 and you only need to encrypt the new key like 10 times 337 00:21:01,351 --> 00:21:03,891 or whatever O log N is at a million, 338 00:21:04,111 --> 00:21:05,131 I think 13 or something. 339

00:21:05,631 --> 00:21:09,751 So really efficient to distribute a new symmetric key 340 00:21:09,751 --> 00:21:11,071 to a whole bunch of people. 341 00:21:12,231 --> 00:21:13,931 And MLS solves this, 342 00:21:14,331 --> 00:21:15,451 which I'm super grateful for 343 00:21:15,451 --> 00:21:17,591 because that's gigabrain stuff. 344 00:21:18,471 --> 00:21:25,311 And what MLS does not solve is how do we know which key belongs to whom? 345 00:21:25,451 --> 00:21:26,811 Kind of web of trust, right? 346 00:21:26,951 --> 00:21:29,691 To some extent, they call it the authentication service. 347 00:21:30,491 --> 00:21:36,351 In the Signal case, it's like, how do you know which public key does this phone number use? 348 00:21:37,071 --> 00:21:41,631 And the answer is you go to the Signal server and says, hey, I want to message this phone number or this username. 349 00:21:42,011 --> 00:21:42,911 What's his public key? 350 00:21:43,791 --> 00:21:46,991 And that's a trusted entity to some extent. 351 00:21:46,991 --> 00:21:49,231 They've optimized a whole bunch there, but still. 352 00:21:50,191 --> 00:21:54,291 And the second important aspect is how do you actually get the messages to everyone? 353 00:21:55,131 --> 00:22:10,851 And here also, what's interesting, and we kind of underestimated this, by the way, for the first time in MLS, is that here, the delivery service, as they call it, is supposed to order the messages and give everyone the messages in the same order. 354 00:22:12,031 --> 00:22:15,591 And if you assume that, things are really straightforward. 355 00:22:15,591 --> 00:22:22,311 But if you want to put that delivery service away, then you have a whole time stamping problem, double spending problem, basically. 356 00:22:23,471 --> 00:22:24,771 But that's a different part of the story. 357 00:22:24,931 --> 00:22:30,251 So your actual question was more about the sub-key system, and that's the authentication service. 358 00:22:31,431 --> 00:22:37,591 And in order to decentralize the authentication service, we just moved the problem one layer deeper. 359 00:22:37,771 --> 00:22:43,591 We don't know who belongs to this key, so we use another key to sign off on it. 360 00:22:43,591 --> 00:22:57,811 And thankfully, with Nostr, we have a good, somewhat established web of trust system where people have their NPUPS and their NSECs and they've been shitposting on Primal or whatever since years. 361 00:22:57,811 --> 00:23:00,411 and now you can use the exact same key 362 00:23:00,411 --> 00:23:03,331 and sign in to the Marmot protocol 363 00:23:03,331 --> 00:23:04,691 or white noise as an app 364 00:23:04,691 --> 00:23:08,551 and that then will give you a signature 365 00:23:08,551 --> 00:23:10,471 on top of a new set of keys 366 00:23:10,471 --> 00:23:13,631 that you've just created for MLS specifically. 367 00:23:14,171 --> 00:23:16,391 So it's very similar to what PGP did 368 00:23:16,391 --> 00:23:18,591 with master keys and child keys 369 00:23:18,591 --> 00:23:21,511 and you could have multiple different child keys 370 00:23:21,511 --> 00:23:24,111 and stuff like this and so same idea. 371 00:23:25,051 --> 00:23:27,151 And there are even different elliptic curves, 372 00:23:27,151 --> 00:23:30,191 different encryption schemes or signature schemes. 373 00:23:31,151 --> 00:23:35,471 It uses the same like the ED25119 or whatever, 374 00:23:36,231 --> 00:23:38,791 similar to torrents and many DHTs. 375 00:23:40,171 --> 00:23:43,131 And another interesting thing is we initially were thinking, 376 00:23:43,691 --> 00:23:46,231 well, MLS has flexible Cypher suites, 377 00:23:46,231 --> 00:23:51,931 so we can slot out the proposed key scheme that they are doing 378 00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:53,911 and use a post-quantum system. 379 00:23:54,151 --> 00:23:55,951 Or we were thinking, let's use Schnorr. 380 00:23:55,951 --> 00:24:01,691 We use it in Bitcoin, we use it in Noster. We could actually use the Schnorr encryption scheme in MLS. 381 00:24:02,131 --> 00:24:06,251 That turns out to be way too much work and not really any benefit. 382 00:24:07,051 --> 00:24:11,711 And so the idea is, okay, we can just adopt a new encryption scheme, just have different algorithms. 383 00:24:12,391 --> 00:24:20,771 But your Noster Schnorr public key gives you a signature over the subkey that is whatever scheme you want in the future post-quantum. 384 00:24:20,771 --> 00:24:23,531 and that's ultimately 385 00:24:23,531 --> 00:24:25,851 how you can do this delegation 386 00:24:25,851 --> 00:24:27,931 to some extent right your main 387 00:24:27,931 --> 00:24:29,951 identity key signs off on the sub key 388 00:24:29,951 --> 00:24:31,511 that is then used 389 00:24:31,511 --> 00:24:33,471 for whatever you want 390 00:24:33,471 --> 00:24:36,051 where it then gets also tricky 391 00:24:36,051 --> 00:24:37,491 is how do we do multi device 392 00:24:37,491 --> 00:24:40,111 if you have five devices 393 00:24:40,111 --> 00:24:42,191 and they all belong to the same user 394 00:24:42,191 --> 00:24:43,711 then 395 00:24:43,711 --> 00:24:45,911 sure you can take your NSEC and 396 00:24:45,911 --> 00:24:47,571 sign the five pub keys 397 00:24:47,571 --> 00:24:49,931 five times and that 398 00:24:49,931 --> 00:24:55,931 works, but yeah, that's a whole things get really complicated there too. 399 00:24:55,931 --> 00:24:57,611 So we haven't really deployed that yet. 400 00:24:58,091 --> 00:24:59,851 We have a draft specification up. 401 00:25:00,291 --> 00:25:01,931 I don't think anyone implemented that yet. 402 00:25:02,411 --> 00:25:03,931 We'll get to that in a couple of weeks. 403 00:25:04,931 --> 00:25:11,051 But yeah, that also then gets into synchronization and it's a tough one. 404 00:25:11,131 --> 00:25:17,051 I was about to say that is exactly the problem that we are focused on right now 405 00:25:17,051 --> 00:25:20,471 because, or at least that I'm focused on, 406 00:25:20,471 --> 00:25:23,231 well, a different

thing is kind of getting settled 407 00:25:23,231 --> 00:25:25,311 with Paracord that is related to it. 408 00:25:26,831 --> 00:25:32,491 But essentially, I'm trying to solve it 409 00:25:32,491 --> 00:25:34,531 with the whole space idea already, 410 00:25:34,931 --> 00:25:37,431 is that what we have with spaces is we create a Hyper-B. 411 00:25:38,311 --> 00:25:40,811 We create a Hyper-Swarm and then a Hyper-B, right? 412 00:25:40,851 --> 00:25:44,531 So a network and then a append-only log for that network. 413 00:25:44,531 --> 00:25:48,311 And that is how we update just hashes. 414 00:25:48,571 --> 00:25:50,391 We don't keep the whole index in the Hyper-B. 415 00:25:50,491 --> 00:25:51,351 That's what a lot of people do. 416 00:25:51,451 --> 00:25:54,771 But the index itself has really bad query stuff. 417 00:25:55,111 --> 00:25:56,511 So we're actually just doing SQL. 418 00:25:58,591 --> 00:26:07,425 And so the append log is literally just like a hashes It basically like this is the state this is the state this is the state 419 00:26:08,165 --> 00:26:23,825 And so right now my kind of like base approach is it like, okay, well, we're going to create a space just like all of our other spaces, except our index isn't an index of hundreds of thousands of files and terabytes of storage. 420 00:26:23,825 --> 00:26:30,325 our index is just an index of accounts of devices and what we're doing is we're just syncing those 421 00:26:30,325 --> 00:26:36,845 devices across the space of those devices so that space is just the devices that are my devices 422 00:26:36,845 --> 00:26:43,245 and they boot that one up first and they sync with all the devices in the space and we have a 423 00:26:43,245 --> 00:26:48,585 dumb simple permission system which is just the these are the allowed keys and these are the keys 424 00:26:48,585 --> 00:26:50,225 that you don't send messages to. 425 00:26:51,585 --> 00:26:54,225 And you just kind of rotate the encryption key 426 00:26:54,225 --> 00:26:55,225 and, you know, kick them out. 427 00:26:55,585 --> 00:26:56,865 It's not really like backwards, 428 00:26:57,285 --> 00:26:59,025 forward secrecy or anything like that. 429 00:26:59,045 --> 00:27:00,645 It's just, you know, if you had access, 430 00:27:00,865 --> 00:27:02,745 you can see what was going on 431 00:27:02,745 --> 00:27:03,865 when you had access or whatever. 432 00:27:04,005 --> 00:27:05,105 But after you get kicked out, 433 00:27:05,225 --> 00:27:06,625 you can't look at anything anymore. 434 00:27:08,445 --> 00:27:12,145 But then literally you just sign in a device 435 00:27:12,145 --> 00:27:13,365 exactly like you were saying 436 00:27:13,365 --> 00:27:15,065 with, you know, white noise or whatever. 437 00:27:15,625 --> 00:27:17,905 I just sign this as this is also my public key. 438 00:27:17,905 --> 00:27:22,505 And then that account, that entire space gets roped up into other spaces. 439 00:27:23,045 --> 00:27:30,605 So when you join a space, your entire index of public keys join the space all at once as if this is your account. 440 00:27:30,785 --> 00:27:32,765 And then you rotate that. 441 00:27:32,905 --> 00:27:33,605 So you kick out. 442 00:27:34,225 --> 00:27:38,825 Like if I have a primal and I have an iPhone and Android and a desktop and a Linux, 443 00:27:38,925 --> 00:27:42,605 my Linux is compromised or I'm using a piece of crap that I don't want to use anymore. 444 00:27:42,605 --> 00:27:48,865 I literally just update the state and say, this one's no longer quote unquote signed in. 445 00:27:49,445 --> 00:27:56,265 And so if I can connect to the space, obviously I can get the update to the space because I wouldn't be able to connect to any other ones if I can't connect my own. 446 00:27:57,665 --> 00:28:02,865 And then that's the canonical truth of what's logged in and what's not. 447 00:28:03,125 --> 00:28:06,065 And then you just naturally kick all the other ones out. 448 00:28:06,325 --> 00:28:12,205 In theory, it sounds like it's going to work really easy, but I'm sure it's going to be a real pain in the ass to get it to flow. 449 00:28:12,605 --> 00:28:16,625 does your private user space or whatever, 450 00:28:16,845 --> 00:28:18,365 as all your devices, 451 00:28:19,005 --> 00:28:25,185 when that is logged into other spaces in the network, 452 00:28:25,565 --> 00:28:27,705 it's just sort of represented as one. 453 00:28:29,225 --> 00:28:32,625 That's sort of like an aggregation of all your things. 454 00:28:32,825 --> 00:28:34,725 And so what you do inside of that? 455 00:28:35,065 --> 00:28:37,525 Everything has my signature on it. 456 00:28:37,525 --> 00:28:40,765 So it's like these 10 keys all have my signature. 457 00:28:40,765 --> 00:28:43,205 and the new space basically says 458 00:28:43,205 --> 00:28:45,625 this signature is allowed. 459 00:28:46,645 --> 00:28:49,145 So if those 10 public keys 460 00:28:49,145 --> 00:28:50,065 all have my signature, 461 00:28:50,185 --> 00:28:51,305 those 10 public keys are allowed. 462 00:28:52,045 --> 00:28:53,325 And that's my 10 devices. 463 00:28:53,585 --> 00:28:54,325 And that space is, 464 00:28:54,485 --> 00:28:55,385 where is that hosted? 465 00:28:55,605 --> 00:28:56,845 Like in the DHT? 466 00:28:57,285 --> 00:28:58,305 It's just DHT. 467 00:28:58,565 --> 00:28:59,885 Yeah, it's just a topic in the DHT. 468 00:29:00,145 --> 00:29:01,065 So it's all just like a, 469 00:29:01,465 --> 00:29:03,445 it's a little private 470 00:29:03,445 --> 00:29:04,665 BitTorrent network, right? 471 00:29:06,145 --> 00:29:07,465 So basically that. 472 00:29:07,785 --> 00:29:09,065 But that's kind of the idea right now 473 00:29:09,065 --> 00:29:09,865 that like, 474 00:29:09,865 --> 00:29:21,485 I'm trying to sort out, but I'm kind of waiting on a different thing to really pull the trigger because my problem has been kind of that the pair layer is the discovery layer. 475 00:29:21,845 --> 00:29:24,905 But I want the Noster layer to kind of be the

identity layer. 476 00:29:25,385 --> 00:29:36,985 But that means that I have to discover first and then decide what the Noster key is that says the pair discovery was valid, you know, like because like I want to connect peer to peer. 477 00:29:36,985 --> 00:29:39,005 so I'm having a trouble 478 00:29:39,005 --> 00:29:41,245 a little bit of trouble with the key hierarchy 479 00:29:41,245 --> 00:29:42,945 because the public 480 00:29:42,945 --> 00:29:45,065 directory of like Nostrad Identity seems 481 00:29:45,065 --> 00:29:46,245 to make the most sense for 482 00:29:46,245 --> 00:29:49,085 who am I? Like what's 483 00:29:49,085 --> 00:29:51,185 my profile? This kind of reminds 484 00:29:51,185 --> 00:29:53,185 me a little bit of a problem that ZapStore 485 00:29:53,185 --> 00:29:55,045 was having because back in the 486 00:29:55,045 --> 00:29:57,305 day, so ZapStore is the kind of decentralized 487 00:29:57,305 --> 00:29:58,605 permissionless app store 488 00:29:58,605 --> 00:30:00,385 not only for Android apps 489 00:30:00,385 --> 00:30:03,025 one of my most bullish 490 00:30:03,025 --> 00:30:05,045 projects by the way. Back 491 00:30:05,045 --> 00:30:06,525 in the day they started with 492 00:30:06,985 --> 00:30:14,245 Your identity is the pub key, and then you can sign a hash of an app, basically. 493 00:30:14,745 --> 00:30:18,385 And then that's your release that was published via Nostra identity. 494 00:30:19,045 --> 00:30:24,885 But the problem is that the operating system, specifically Android, doesn't care about your Nostra keys, right? 495 00:30:24,885 --> 00:30:31,705 They have the app certificates, whatever cryptography or scheme that they use. 496 00:30:31,845 --> 00:30:35,565 But ultimately, every APK is signed, and it's trust on first use. 497 00:30:35,565 --> 00:30:39,065 So when you install an application that is signed by a public key, 498 00:30:39,505 --> 00:30:41,825 and then when you want to update that application, 499 00:30:41,965 --> 00:30:46,465 the update must be signed by the same public key as the original installed. 500 00:30:46,465 --> 00:30:48,805 It's the Android credentials, 501 00:30:49,245 --> 00:30:52,665 so there's no check if it's the Nostra credentials are right or not. 502 00:30:52,785 --> 00:30:55,205 It has no idea they're even there. 503 00:30:55,405 --> 00:30:56,465 Oh, that's an interesting point. 504 00:30:56,585 --> 00:30:58,745 You can update the app as if it's the same app, 505 00:30:58,805 --> 00:31:00,645 but it could be a malicious actor. 506 00:31:01,245 --> 00:31:02,325 Oh, that sucks. 507 00:31:02,325 --> 00:31:20,558 It also annoying them as a developer because now if I want to make a release I need to get my Nostar key out And then that just kind of annoying And so in the next version that they working on which by the way is going to be so fucking dope it the most tangent but it going 508 00:31:20,558 --> 00:31:26,098 to be the most anonymous app store ever, like the Bitcoin full node level of app stores. Insane. 509 00:31:26,518 --> 00:31:34,178 But one of the things that they're changing is that you sign with your NSEC, your APK public key, 510 00:31:34,278 --> 00:31:39,618 basically like your Android developer public key. And that's a one-time signature and you could 511 00:31:39,618 --> 00:31:41,658 expire that after a year or whatnot. 512 00:31:42,198 --> 00:31:43,658 But you only need to sign it 513 00:31:43,658 --> 00:31:45,638 once. And you can do that in a browser 514 00:31:45,638 --> 00:31:47,478 somewhere. And then from 515 00:31:47,478 --> 00:31:49,718 the future, you just make 516 00:31:49,718 --> 00:31:51,658 your releases as you have always done them 517 00:31:51,658 --> 00:31:53,318 and they have always been signed. 518 00:31:54,158 --> 00:31:55,838 And they still link back 519 00:31:55,838 --> 00:31:57,758 to your nostril identity because you 520 00:31:57,758 --> 00:31:59,278 did a two-way signature 521 00:31:59,278 --> 00:32:01,698 at one point. And 522 00:32:01,698 --> 00:32:03,678 that solved a whole bunch 523 00:32:03,678 --> 00:32:05,338 of problems in their architecture. 524 00:32:06,358 --> 00:32:07,798 And it's already, I think, 525 00:32:07,798 --> 00:32:09,918 how it's working now and they're even further fine-tuning 526 00:32:09,918 --> 00:32:11,418 that in that upcoming version too. 527 00:32:12,278 --> 00:32:13,838 So that seems a bit 528 00:32:13,838 --> 00:32:15,878 similar where you want 529 00:32:15,878 --> 00:32:17,178 to use the Nostra identity, 530 00:32:17,818 --> 00:32:19,718 but you shouldn't 531 00:32:19,718 --> 00:32:21,818 rip out the actual core 532 00:32:21,818 --> 00:32:23,738 cryptography of the base 533 00:32:23,738 --> 00:32:25,918 system that you're using and trying to replace 534 00:32:25,918 --> 00:32:27,858 it with Nostra. Kind of like the same idea 535 00:32:27,858 --> 00:32:29,398 of how we were thinking that 536 00:32:29,398 --> 00:32:31,838 we can just push nor signatures into MLS. 537 00:32:32,978 --> 00:32:33,878 But that's so 538 00:32:33,878 --> 00:32:35,718 convoluted and you don't get any 539 00:32:35,718 --> 00:32:36,638 benefits out of it. 540 00:32:36,638 --> 00:32:40,018 you get all the benefits just by making a one-time 541 00:32:40,018 --> 00:32:41,818 even bidirectional signature 542 00:32:41,818 --> 00:32:43,818 that hey this is my subkey 543 00:32:43,818 --> 00:32:45,378 and that's it 544 00:32:45,378 --> 00:32:47,938 I really like the idea 545 00:32:47,938 --> 00:32:49,718 of kind of a meta 546 00:32:49,718 --> 00:32:51,718 signature scheme where it doesn't really care 547 00:32:51,718 --> 00:32:52,438 what the encryption 548 00:32:52,438 --> 00:32:56,098 like what the ultimate key is that's being used 549 00:32:56,098 --> 00:32:58,038 where 550 00:32:58,038 --> 00:32:59,918 like okay I can 551 00:32:59,918 --> 00:33:01,958 sign for a pair key I can sign for 552 00:33:01,958 --> 00:33:03,638 a Google Android authentication 553 00:33:03,638 --> 00:33:06,098 key

I can sign for a quantum 554 00:33:06,098 --> 00:33:13,218 resistant key an mls key doesn't really matter it's just whoever can see that or understands that 555 00:33:13,218 --> 00:33:18,618 the meta signing because it's just signed messages you know it's just it's all just 556 00:33:18,618 --> 00:33:22,918 signed messages and it feels like noster has like this little window this little thing of like 557 00:33:22,918 --> 00:33:28,678 listen sign messages work you know and it's like we should just sign a lot of messages 558 00:33:28,678 --> 00:33:34,278 Can I ask a basic question about white noise? 559 00:33:34,998 --> 00:33:36,698 Because I don't follow it that much. 560 00:33:36,698 --> 00:33:49,478 Is the backend kind of similar to Noster where it's like you count on users running relays or there's like a separate class of people that run kind of relays and nodes? 561 00:33:49,738 --> 00:33:53,318 Or is the client sending messages run everything? 562 00:33:53,638 --> 00:33:56,018 Or does it actually use Noster for its backend? 563 00:33:56,438 --> 00:33:57,498 Or how does that work? 564 00:33:57,498 --> 00:34:04,918 yeah that's a good question and kind of our initial goal was to fix nostr dms because like 565 00:34:04,918 --> 00:34:10,818 the nostr dm like private messaging schemes are right they've always been broken right and and so 566 00:34:10,818 --> 00:34:17,098 that's what we set out for and that's why we use nostr keys and also nostr relays but we wanted to 567 00:34:17,098 --> 00:34:22,838 build it kind of in the spirit of nostr perfect line the gg keeps keeps saying over and over and 568 00:34:22,838 --> 00:34:26,758 i think he's totally right we need to build in the spirit of bitcoin in the spirit of nostr 569 00:34:26,758 --> 00:34:32,278 And that doesn't necessarily mean to build on top of it, just with the same mindset. 570 00:34:32,578 --> 00:34:33,918 And you know it when you see it. 571 00:34:34,638 --> 00:34:38,378 And the beauty of Noster is, you don't care about the relays. 572 00:34:38,698 --> 00:34:41,878 Relays are data storage and data transmit pipes. 573 00:34:42,678 --> 00:34:44,458 The beauty is in the signed message. 574 00:34:44,778 --> 00:34:46,718 A structured JSON that is signed. 575 00:34:47,418 --> 00:34:48,398 That's the breakthrough. 576 00:34:49,418 --> 00:34:50,278 Radical, I know. 577 00:34:50,438 --> 00:34:52,158 But that's where all the magic is at. 578 00:34:52,158 --> 00:34:59,398 so long as somebody reliable is like storing and transmitting yeah but like you know like in 579 00:34:59,398 --> 00:35:04,678 practice i mean i have a personal relay running on on some bps cloud that that you know has a public 580 00:35:04,678 --> 00:35:09,298 ip and has a domain and everything i have a personal relay running on my start nine because 581 00:35:09,298 --> 00:35:15,378 you know why not and and i have one running on my phone so like right there i have one out of three 582 00:35:15,378 --> 00:35:20,618 of my own

devices that just need to be available in order to recover like i don't expose my phone 583 00:35:20,618 --> 00:35:22,438 via Tor or FIPS or whatever. 584 00:35:22,538 --> 00:35:24,838 I could, but there's not really a need. 585 00:35:24,898 --> 00:35:26,078 I have a public server for that. 586 00:35:26,978 --> 00:35:29,338 And by the way, I do the same with all my videos. 587 00:35:29,338 --> 00:35:32,498 So 400 gigabytes of video and audio 588 00:35:32,498 --> 00:35:35,858 is mirrored on all my devices, which is cool. 589 00:35:36,598 --> 00:35:39,678 But anyhow, for White Noise specifically, 590 00:35:39,938 --> 00:35:42,918 to build in the spirit of Noster meant for us 591 00:35:42,918 --> 00:35:46,618 that the relays should just be dump delivery pipes. 592 00:35:46,618 --> 00:35:53,978 clients first like smart clients dump servers that that's kind of the spirit that we were going for 593 00:35:53,978 --> 00:36:01,158 and so right now we do use nostril relays but purely as data storage so that you can receive 594 00:36:01,158 --> 00:36:06,158 while you're offline and you know delivery that you don't need to have a public ip or anything 595 00:36:06,158 --> 00:36:15,038 like this and but it is kind of a client-side consensus system we call it convergence which 596 00:36:15,038 --> 00:36:19,478 is a bit more accurate, which means that you don't trust the servers at all. 597 00:36:20,058 --> 00:36:34,391 So you connect to them and you get a firehose of data And then locally on the client side you process all of this data and eventually you will reach the tip of the chain of your group conversation and then you know this is the key that i need to 598 00:36:34,391 --> 00:36:41,931 use to decrypt the message that someone sent to me so a heavy client side logic on figuring out 599 00:36:41,931 --> 00:36:47,811 what is the correct key that we use right now and nostrilis at the moment is the only transport 600 00:36:47,811 --> 00:36:53,571 layer that's supported in the code but it doesn't have to be i mean i was chatting with guy earlier 601 00:36:53,571 --> 00:37:00,051 that potentially this can be done over pair what we've already started on at least research and 602 00:37:00,051 --> 00:37:05,411 prototyping is over fips the new transport layer agnostic mesh network that i'm insanely bullish 603 00:37:05,411 --> 00:37:11,171 about too and it's going to be faster than than the internet and then like if you have a dm and 604 00:37:11,171 --> 00:37:17,011 both people are online it will just go from phone to phone now via the encrypted mesh network hops 605 00:37:17,011 --> 00:37:24,251 Yes, but ultimately no server endpoint in the middle other than the dumb data pipes that pass messages instantly. 606 00:37:25,631 --> 00:37:40,471 And yeah, so the only kind of assumption that we have is that every group member must receive every commit message, which are the messages that change the state of the group, like adding a member, removing a member. 607 00:37:41,091 --> 00:37:43,311 Everyone in the group has to get these. 608 00:37:43,311 --> 00:37:49,891 if you do then we will all be in agreement over what's the next key and we will have a perfectly 609 00:37:49,891 --> 00:37:56,751 working conversation if you lose some of those commit messages then you will fork the group 610 00:37:56,751 --> 00:38:02,971 and guy will use public key a to encrypt the next message and simple like steve will use the public 611 00:38:02,971 --> 00:38:11,311 key b and you will no longer be able to talk to each other gotcha that's awesome and did i hear 612 00:38:11,311 --> 00:38:21,731 correctly that you still communicate with gg yeah sure what i would give anything to have a 613 00:38:21,731 --> 00:38:29,171 conversation with him man he's gone from my life oh man you you gotta come to madera like the so 614 00:38:29,171 --> 00:38:35,691 have you got you guys know about sovereign engineering like yeah i've heard it yeah guys 615 00:38:35,691 --> 00:38:40,951 it's this is one of you know fuck bitcoin conferences i'm kind of at that point now 616 00:38:40,951 --> 00:38:49,031 god damn but like i've i've gotten even more to that point because of things like sovereign 617 00:38:49,031 --> 00:38:56,431 engineering because instead of you know a two-day three-day madness of thousands of people and you 618 00:38:56,431 --> 00:39:02,231 can barely get five sentences in with with the person you actually want to talk to let's get 21 619 00:39:02,231 --> 00:39:09,871 people and lock them on an island for like six weeks and every friday they need to demo something 620 00:39:09,871 --> 00:39:17,151 dangerous reality tv show that sounds awesome but it's so good man it's so good and honestly 621 00:39:17,151 --> 00:39:25,211 the projects that came out of that are wild like zap store blossom marmot um phips do it 622 00:39:25,211 --> 00:39:32,531 six weeks is a toll game forever like the amount of crazy shit that came out of this is wild and 623 00:39:32,531 --> 00:39:37,131 gg was the the primary one spearheading this and and that's where he keeps talking about 624 00:39:37,131 --> 00:39:38,571 built in the spirit of Bitcoin. 625 00:39:39,571 --> 00:39:42,571 And it's a, yeah, it's cool. 626 00:39:42,851 --> 00:39:43,471 You guys should come. 627 00:39:44,151 --> 00:39:47,731 All this stuff, like the FIPS network 628 00:39:47,731 --> 00:39:48,691 is such a great example 629 00:39:48,691 --> 00:39:49,891 because I've been looking at that 630 00:39:49,891 --> 00:39:52,451 as like trying to figure out 631 00:39:52,451 --> 00:39:55,891 how to do alternative networking 632 00:39:55,891 --> 00:39:57,571 to get the same result 633 00:39:57,571 --> 00:40:00,011 and just put our space kind of agnostically 634 00:40:00,011 --> 00:40:03,031 in whatever, like however we can establish connection. 635 00:40:03,251 --> 00:40:04,251 Because like one of the things we're doing 636 00:40:04,251 --> 00:40:05,391 with Pear Drop is that like, 637

00:40:05,451 --> 00:40:06,691 I just want to be able to talk to Bluetooth 638 00:40:06,691 --> 00:40:08,771 tooth and land. You know, I don't want to have 639 00:40:08,771 --> 00:40:10,071 to go out to some DHT 640 00:40:10,071 --> 00:40:12,571 to do this, 641 00:40:12,571 --> 00:40:14,671 because maybe I'm behind a VPN or 642 00:40:14,671 --> 00:40:16,711 something, and stuff is being a 643 00:40:16,711 --> 00:40:18,591 pain in the ass. Like, I don't want that to be 644 00:40:18,591 --> 00:40:19,351 my only option. 645 00:40:20,851 --> 00:40:22,631 And I just want it to work. I just 646 00:40:22,631 --> 00:40:24,791 want it to spit a file from this device 647 00:40:24,791 --> 00:40:26,611 to this device, because they're near each other. 648 00:40:28,491 --> 00:40:30,511 But, like, it 649 00:40:30,511 --> 00:40:31,751 feels like 650 00:40:31,751 --> 00:40:34,211 AI, 651 00:40:34,651 --> 00:40:36,451 like, these whole 652 00:40:36,691 --> 00:40:42,291 this whole tool set and vibe coding and all this and everything that we're headed towards and 653 00:40:42,291 --> 00:40:49,091 everything that we're trying to build is like the manifest destiny of the internet right it was like 654 00:40:49,091 --> 00:40:54,691 the original vision it's like okay eventually we're gonna solve all of this stuff and it's like 655 00:40:54,691 --> 00:41:00,931 bitcoin is such a huge part of like a paradigm shift and like oh what is actually possible like 656 00:41:00,931 --> 00:41:06,211 what did we actually figure out we could accomplish in a totally different way than we had originally 657 00:41:06,211 --> 00:41:06,931 suspect it. 658 00:41:08,831 --> 00:41:10,191 Well, and if you didn't have 659 00:41:10,191 --> 00:41:12,411 a sovereign money, you couldn't 660 00:41:12,411 --> 00:41:14,191 monetize all of this. You can't do anything without 661 00:41:14,191 --> 00:41:14,771 sovereign money. 662 00:41:15,351 --> 00:41:18,331 It's literally like, we had to 663 00:41:18,331 --> 00:41:20,311 bootstrap all of the next stage 664 00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:22,511 with a money. 665 00:41:23,591 --> 00:41:24,371 But the money's not 666 00:41:24,371 --> 00:41:26,371 enough, right? That's one 667 00:41:26,371 --> 00:41:28,391 of the UX. It's all about figuring 668 00:41:28,391 --> 00:41:30,331 out the UX. Like, how do 669 00:41:30,331 --> 00:41:32,291 you get all of this 670 00:41:32,291 --> 00:41:34,111 complexity? It feels like we're creating 671 00:41:34,111 --> 00:41:37,751 in a bird's eye view, like stand back, 672 00:41:37,751 --> 00:41:39,991 like look from outer space, 673 00:41:39,997 --> 00:41:48,717 you it really seems like we're creating a global brain literally and we're and it always makes me 674 00:41:48,717 --> 00:41:54,637 think of like you know the cambrian explosion in like life it's like oh you figure out there's this 675 00:41:54,637 --> 00:42:03,337 new piece and there's this weird like purpose-driven feedback loop where there is so much acceleration 676 00:42:03,337 --> 00:42:11,577 and there is so much like variation all at once trying to figure out what that new paradigm is. 677 00:42:11,577 --> 00:42:14,377 It's like, it's like you hit the edge of the plateau and then it's just like, goes 678 00:42:14,377 --> 00:42:20,877 absolutely vertical until like something sets in and then it, then it turns again, you know, 679 00:42:20,897 --> 00:42:25,897 you got that S curve. Um, and it feels like we're creating this sort of like global brain 680 00:42:25,897 --> 00:42:31,637 that is genuinely decentralized, like a mycelial network, like, like a neural network in a human 681 00:42:31,637 --> 00:42:42,397 brain is, you know, and that that we're trying, we're aggressively trying to find cohesion 682 00:42:42,397 --> 00:42:48,797 around what the security protocol is to actually make it so that each one of these neurons 683 00:42:48,797 --> 00:42:54,817 is playing its role independently, you know, like playing fairly, like there's actual there's 684 00:42:54,817 --> 00:43:00,337 there's basically not a global point of failure because otherwise it's not actually going 685 00:43:00,337 --> 00:43:00,897 to survive. 686 00:43:00,897 --> 00:43:29,777 Like centralization is great in the short term. It leads to quicker adaptation and applying a problem or applying a solution to a problem because you have centralized decision making. But it creates an insane brittleness. Like it's insanely hard. It's a very hard system when you have it centralized because you have very core and cohesive decision making. But it's insanely brittle. 687 00:43:29,777 --> 00:43:35,097 so the bigger it gets it becomes more and more sluggish and it becomes more and more 688 00:43:35,097 --> 00:43:41,097 a victim of collapse and it might be really really hard to break but as soon as it breaks 689 00:43:41,097 --> 00:43:49,317 the whole thing shatters you know um and whereas decentralization is water you know it's like 690 00:43:49,317 --> 00:43:54,717 everything moves everything adjusts this thing can respond to this new piece of information and 691 00:43:54,717 --> 00:43:59,657 send that information it's like a mycelial network it's wild that you know they'll see like this this 692 00:43:59,657 --> 00:44:07,377 thing is considered a multi-set organism and all these different edges of it will literally react 693 00:44:07,377 --> 00:44:13,837 independently and if you break it off they all just continue expanding independently but if this 694 00:44:13,837 --> 00:44:20,757 way just distant corner of a thing encounters a chemical or a plant or an animal that's like 695 00:44:20,757 --> 00:44:28,417 in danger to it and it literally thinks up and adapts a response to it you can go find 696 00:44:28,417 --> 00:44:32,377 a mile away on the end of that huge mycelial network or whatever. 697 00:44:32,497 --> 00:44:36,717 You can go find the parts on the very opposite side of it 698 00:44:36,717 --> 00:44:38,797 now being able to produce that

chemical in response. 699 00:44:39,937 --> 00:44:42,877 And that is literally what we're doing for human information 700 00:44:42,877 --> 00:44:44,437 and human ideas. 701 00:44:45,057 --> 00:44:48,277 And it seems to make sense that none of it even works. 702 00:44:48,817 --> 00:44:49,937 You have to evolve AI. 703 00:44:50,057 --> 00:44:52,817 You have to create AI as a tool to actually do that. 704 00:44:53,717 --> 00:44:57,737 You have to create AI to go into outer space. 705 00:44:57,737 --> 00:45:00,417 Like, how are we ever going to do this at the rate that made sense? 706 00:45:00,497 --> 00:45:01,297 We didn't create AI. 707 00:45:02,437 --> 00:45:04,237 However, everybody says it's going to kill us. 708 00:45:05,997 --> 00:45:08,417 That's like the big news right now is we're all going to die. 709 00:45:08,617 --> 00:45:09,317 We're all going to die. 710 00:45:09,557 --> 00:45:15,477 Well, the thing is, the thing is, the people that are saying that it's going to kill us are the people that want regulatory capture. 711 00:45:15,817 --> 00:45:15,977 Yeah. 712 00:45:16,037 --> 00:45:19,757 And it's literally the belief that it's going to kill us that's going to make it evil. 713 00:45:20,137 --> 00:45:20,277 Yeah. 714 00:45:20,317 --> 00:45:24,637 And or like, like, you know, like protect the fact that it is evil. 715 00:45:24,637 --> 00:45:31,677 thinking that we have to use it to control people's access to it right is literally the thing evil 716 00:45:31,677 --> 00:45:38,477 yeah it's literally evil that we have to have a a healthy decentralized network that is actually 717 00:45:38,477 --> 00:45:46,537 updating our models based on true truly decentralized like like right now all of the 718 00:45:46,537 --> 00:45:52,617 models are being heavily manipulated by twitter like this is who was it that just covered this 719 00:45:52,617 --> 00:45:55,497 somebody I was watching 720 00:45:55,497 --> 00:45:56,977 did a podcast on this. 721 00:45:57,377 --> 00:45:59,377 One of the main reasons that these 722 00:45:59,377 --> 00:46:01,497 Twitter, like copy, paste 723 00:46:01,497 --> 00:46:03,957 Twitter things, like everybody's 724 00:46:03,957 --> 00:46:05,557 it's like the same 725 00:46:05,557 --> 00:46:07,557 narrative over and over. It's not even 726 00:46:07,557 --> 00:46:09,157 to convince the people on Twitter. 727 00:46:09,357 --> 00:46:11,357 It's to manipulate the AI. 728 00:46:12,177 --> 00:46:13,557 It's the AI 729 00:46:13,557 --> 00:46:15,557 responses. So if somebody searches 730 00:46:15,557 --> 00:46:16,997 on chat GPT, 731 00:46:17,437 --> 00:46:19,577 what happened to Charlie Kirk 732 00:46:19,577 --> 00:46:21,497 or whatever, right? If they have 733 00:46:21,497 --> 00:46:27,257 repeated enough times that tyler robertson did this then the ai is going to respond with that 734 00:46:27,257 --> 00:46:35,737 and so so there is this like this like concerted effort to manipulate the ai models and if they're 735 00:46:35,737 --> 00:46:40,297 only pulling from one network or from that's that's why reddit corruption i mean reddit corruption 736 00:46:40,297 --> 00:46:45,757 has been a problem forever but like reddit corruption was such a problem because reddit's 737 00:46:45,757 --> 00:46:57,657 being used to train the AI Twitter being used to train the AI We have to have honest networks and honest conversations with real nodes 738 00:46:57,657 --> 00:46:58,957 to get 739 00:46:58,957 --> 00:47:01,197 an AI that's not 740 00:47:01,197 --> 00:47:03,197 biased 741 00:47:03,197 --> 00:47:04,737 one way or the other. 742 00:47:05,357 --> 00:47:06,897 There's still bias, right? 743 00:47:07,637 --> 00:47:09,697 The majority may believe some stupid 744 00:47:09,697 --> 00:47:11,537 thing. It should just be decentralized bias 745 00:47:11,537 --> 00:47:13,237 is the problem. Right. Exactly. 746 00:47:14,197 --> 00:47:15,857 Bias is necessary. 747 00:47:16,057 --> 00:47:17,277 It's like, oh, well, it's bias 748 00:47:17,277 --> 00:47:22,877 to the fact that gravity will pull you towards earth as it was it's like oh oh no you know like 749 00:47:22,877 --> 00:47:28,257 bias is critical bias is just an arbitrary thing to you know point something out as negative when 750 00:47:28,257 --> 00:47:34,737 it's like naturally exists everywhere all the time like bias is simply like you you believe something 751 00:47:34,737 --> 00:47:41,497 that something is concrete somewhere yeah you know and we can kind of push our bias much easier now 752 00:47:41,497 --> 00:47:48,497 because we've never had a lot of people, generally speaking, 753 00:47:48,737 --> 00:47:50,197 in the Freedom Tech area. 754 00:47:50,757 --> 00:47:53,157 And even fewer of those people actually could code. 755 00:47:53,957 --> 00:47:57,277 And I still believe that software is critical for human liberation. 756 00:47:58,677 --> 00:48:04,937 And now we have 100% of the people who are interested in Freedom Tech 757 00:48:04,937 --> 00:48:06,637 can now build Freedom Tech. 758 00:48:07,777 --> 00:48:11,397 There has never been an excuse that because you cannot code, 759 00:48:11,497 --> 00:48:13,377 you cannot work on free open source software. 760 00:48:13,517 --> 00:48:14,957 Like that was always nonsense. 761 00:48:15,497 --> 00:48:17,437 But now it's like especially nonsense. 762 00:48:17,757 --> 00:48:19,237 Because back in the day, I don't know, 763 00:48:19,277 --> 00:48:21,577 you could do product management, marketing, whatever. 764 00:48:22,097 --> 00:48:23,537 Now you can literally do the coding. 765 00:48:24,057 --> 00:48:25,157 All you have to do is care and think. 766 00:48:25,237 --> 00:48:25,937 It's just a prompt. 767 00:48:26,757 --> 00:48:27,977 You have to care and think. 768 00:48:28,417 --> 00:48:29,597 And if you can't do those things, 769 00:48:29,657 --> 00:48:30,277 what the hell do you think? 770 00:48:30,377 --> 00:48:31,937 You can do anything with Freedom Tech anyway. 771 00:48:33,497 -->

was to design a product 828 00:52:52,396 --> 00:52:53,056 that could be... 829 00:52:53,976 --> 00:52:56,136 Different components can be 3D printed 830 00:52:56,136 --> 00:52:56,696 or whatever. 831 00:52:56,696 --> 00:53:03,676 we need some protocol for deciding whether each person that's producing things is is meeting the 832 00:53:03,676 --> 00:53:09,716 quality like we need some sort of like reputational or whatever is meeting the standards but honestly 833 00:53:09,716 --> 00:53:15,456 i think you could do you like it would actually make more sense to have some sort of very 834 00:53:15,456 --> 00:53:23,036 decentralized and and like fairly flat you know like like i feel like the hierarchy 835 00:53:23,036 --> 00:53:29,436 the reason companies have hierarchies is because we have these communication problems right and so 836 00:53:29,436 --> 00:53:35,136 if you get if you can build a network where you can you can communicate with people in a in a much 837 00:53:35,136 --> 00:53:40,296 more decentralized way we build these you know peer-to-peer technologies and whatever and we can 838 00:53:40,296 --> 00:53:46,956 we can even like have you know lightning prisms or whatever where people get paid for different 839 00:53:46,956 --> 00:53:53,556 parts of a job or something that you could potentially have a company that is not really 840 00:53:53,556 --> 00:53:59,996 a company, right? Like you don't actually have to legally exist. And lots of people are still doing, 841 00:53:59,996 --> 00:54:06,756 you know, different parts of a job together, you know, like, like producing different parts of 842 00:54:06,756 --> 00:54:17,456 something? I would say that the reason or the biggest like barrier to that would be that, 843 00:54:18,456 --> 00:54:23,336 well, the biggest one would actually be the problem we just talked about is that the hierarchy 844 00:54:23,336 --> 00:54:29,456 isn't necessarily for thinking. The hierarchy is for responsibility. It's who's going to take 845 00:54:29,456 --> 00:54:39,596 responsibility for what change or what decision or what cost. Right. And I think the thing actually 846 00:54:39,596 --> 00:54:47,996 works more seamless when you do have a responsibility hierarchy because of how, how much people don't, 847 00:54:47,996 --> 00:54:53,576 I mean, people don't want to make decisions about like the simplest of things. I mean, look, look at, 848 00:54:53,676 --> 00:54:57,256 you're in, you're in the pair drive stuff. Like, you know, we've, we've been working on this for 849 00:54:57,256 --> 00:55:02,776 forever, right? How, how much of a pain in the ass and how often do we, are we always just like, 850 00:55:03,236 --> 00:55:06,856 I don't know, what do you think about whether this button should be long or tall? You know, 851 00:55:06,856 --> 00:55:12,216 like, I mean, just, just like crazy little mundane decisions like that, but that have like a real 852 00:55:12,216 --> 00:55:19,416 effect on like how you feel when using a

thing and how much of a pain in the ass it is. And like, 853 00:55:19,496 --> 00:55:24,716 how many times have I made a decision? And it's just like, that was a terrible decision.

And, uh, and so like I gave him like the rundown and was like, I'll probably do a video 1212 01:15:55,195 --> 01:15:58,855 on it. If you want it, I'll show it to you. And he was like, that's actually pretty dope. And so 1213 01:15:58,855 --> 01:16:03,995 we had this really fun conversation with the CEO. And I realized after that, that I was like, cause 1214 01:16:03,995 --> 01:16:13,795 the AI Kimmy actually recommended said, well, we can actually do a FOIA and a FCC, we can report to 1215 01:16:13,795 --> 01:16:20,335 the FCC based on like these grounds for pulling this information, just basically telling me what 1216 01:16:20,335 --> 01:16:24,555 was legally possible and what wasn't. And you know, what actually made sense in the situation, 1217 01:16:24,555 --> 01:16:33,595 and how to go about removing your stuff. And then it hit me.

This is, this is how I plug my privacy holes is they have to, I'm going 1219 01:16:42,335 --> 01:16:46,035 to, I'm going to have an agent. I still haven't fully set it up.

this anonymity to the pool, 1541 01:33:20,087 --> 01:33:21,467 which is interesting, 1542 01:33:21,947 --> 01:33:24,707 or then just have some atomic swap 1543 01:33:24,707 --> 01:33:26,987 of a CoinJoin output for the Coinbase output, 1544 01:33:28,127 --> 01:33:29,547 which would also be really interesting. 1545 01:33:30,727 --> 01:33:32,547 And this was, I don't know, 1546 01:33:33,247 --> 01:33:36,247 five years ago or so, maybe more. 1547 01:33:36,287 --> 01:33:54,160 And they were telling me and I was quite surprised that they tried multiple times to get an actual market for Coinbase outputs and that it simply wasn there like people were not willing to pay a premium for the the coinbase outputs fresh at least not substantially 1548 01:33:54,160 --> 01:34:02,580 or at volume yeah so interesting i don't i don't know if that changed we're just early this is 1549 01:34:02,580 --> 01:34:07,680 the government the government's not tyrannical enough yet i was about to say it hasn't really 1550 01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:16,860 been as for all the hoopla and rage and all the stuff for um for you know all those little 1551 01:34:16,860 --> 01:34:23,820 potential risks and the whole hotel announcements and like that sort of stuff it really has not been 1552 01:34:23,820 --> 01:34:31,040 a problem i mean it certainly hasn't been for me and like i don't i don't think like i got the 1553 01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:32,420 dirtiest UTXOs out there. 1554 01:34:32,440 --> 01:34:32,880 My dirty God, 1555 01:34:32,940 --> 01:34:35,080 my UTXOs have gonorrhea 1556 01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:36,800 and like, 1557 01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:37,940 you don't even know. 1558 01:34:39,180 --> 01:34:39,580 But, 1559 01:34:39,620 --> 01:34:40,940 but it's like, 1560 01:34:41,020 --> 01:34:41,340 seriously, 1561 01:34:41,460 --> 01:34:42,300 like it just doesn't, 1562 01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:43,280 it's never really been, 1563 01:34:43,700 --> 01:34:44,940 and it's always been like a 1564 01:34:44,940 --> 01:34:46,720 almost going to happen issue 1565 01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:47,940 and it's never really been an issue. 1566 01:34:48,020 --> 01:34:49,700 And I think that's probably the reason. 1567 01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:50,580 And, 1568 01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:50,940 and like, 1569 01:34:50,980 --> 01:34:51,220 you know, 1570 01:34:51,340 --> 01:34:52,240 where we're going, 1571 01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:53,860 it's not a problem at all. 1572 01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:55,080 It's kind of also same to, 1573 01:34:55,220 --> 01:34:56,240 to like your early discussion 1574 01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:56,840 of phone numbers. 1575 01:34:56,940 --> 01:34:57,140 Like, 1576 01:34:57,440 --> 01:34:58,660 the obvious solution is just get rid 1577 01:34:58,660 --> 01:34:59,320 of the phone number. 1578 01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:01,580 get rid of your bank account 1579 01:35:01,580 --> 01:35:02,800 get rid of your exchanges 1580 01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:06,080 and it's not a problem anymore 1581 01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:08,160 so sure it might be a problem in the interim 1582 01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:09,300 but 1583 01:35:09,300 --> 01:35:11,860 I mean it's your choice to 1584 01:35:11,860 --> 01:35:13,660 be stuck in the interim just go 1585 01:35:13,660 --> 01:35:15,660 radical all the way and 1586 01:35:15,660 --> 01:35:16,640 it's done 1587 01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:19,540 that's what I talk about a lot 1588 01:35:19,540 --> 01:35:20,760 is people talk about like oh well 1589 01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:23,540 I still don't 1590 01:35:23,540 --> 01:35:25,060 people say bitcoin is not private 1591 01:35:25,060 --> 01:35:27,560 and there are elements where I 1592 01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:34,420 understand like what they're saying i also think they're they're misapplying or they're 1593 01:35:34,420 --> 01:35:43,080 misequating a problem of the the world where we're part bitcoin part fiat and applying it to a bitcoin 1594 01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:49,000 only world that just doesn't dig where it doesn't actually exist like the pseudonymity of bitcoin 1595 01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:54,320 is actually still a pretty fantastic tool or a characteristic of it. 1596 01:35:55,720 --> 01:36:00,480 And I feel like I run into this or I have this situation. 1597 01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:02,680 I think about this every once in a while myself 1598 01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:06,600 because I will get paid in Bitcoin and then I pay people in Bitcoin. 1599 01:36:07,940 --> 01:36:12,660 And those are the same, like I, there's not, 1600 01:36:12,820 --> 01:36:15,100 I don't get KYC on either of those sides. 1601 01:36:15,580 --> 01:36:17,780 I just have people that I'm doing business with. 1602 01:36:17,780 --> 01:36:27,140 And it's like on a Bitcoin standard or in a world where we have a real economy in Bitcoin with Bitcoiners, with people who are actually taking the asset. 1603 01:36:28,660 --> 01:36:34,480 It literally, that is not, it's a problem of which wallet or service or whatever you use, you know. 1604 01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:38,600 It's not a fundamental problem of Bitcoin. 1605 01:36:39,260 --> 01:36:45,920 We're talking about an on-ramp and an off-ramp problem because everybody's just one step away from those things and those things are KYC'd. 1606 01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:48,380 but yeah I still think 1607 01:36:48,380 --> 01:36:50,940 the future even without major changes 1608 01:36:50,940 --> 01:36:53,140 just like when it comes to liquidity on the network 1609 01:36:53,140 --> 01:36:54,900 the future for privacy is still pretty 1610 01:36:54,900 --> 01:36:57,180 it's still pretty good 1611 01:36:57,180 --> 01:36:58,400 in some context 1612 01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:00,440 speaking of that 1613 01:37:00,440 --> 01:37:01,420 does anybody know 1614 01:37:01,420 --> 01:37:03,120 I haven't followed anything 1615 01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:06,040 does anybody have any new information on the liquid stuff 1616 01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:11,940 no I have not heard anything new 1617 01:37:11,940 -->

01:37:14,700 since the whole thing went down 1618 01:37:14,700 --> 01:37:26,760 And they got their 600 Bitcoin payout or trade and all the 3,800 or whatever got sent back, I think it was. 1619 01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:32,800 Quick vibe check from you guys, but are they white hats or black hats, the hackers? 1620 01:37:34,060 --> 01:37:34,660 That's a gray hat. 1621 01:37:34,660 --> 01:37:35,880 I mean, that's a gray hat. 1622 01:37:35,900 --> 01:37:37,220 Yeah, that's a gray hat all the way. 1623 01:37:37,480 --> 01:37:43,700 They made a deal to be black hat, to safely be a black hat, right? 1624 01:37:43,700 --> 01:37:46,380 Well, Blockstream said that they're still going to go after them. 1625 01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:49,480 They don't agree to the 600 is what I read. 1626 01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:51,000 Oh, interesting. 1627 01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:51,380 Okay. 1628 01:37:51,660 --> 01:37:55,260 Well, regardless, I think that was their defense, right? 1629 01:37:55,360 --> 01:37:58,360 Is that what they thought or the intent was to, 1630 01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:01,780 we're going to steal, but we're going to steal in such a way 1631 01:38:01,780 --> 01:38:05,700 that we get an enormous amount of money and... 1632 01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:07,360 Maybe they'll leave us alone. 1633 01:38:07,420 --> 01:38:11,840 Yeah, but not have to deal with running for our entire lives. 1634 01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:14,180 but like that's that's so 1635 01:38:14,180 --> 01:38:16,040 short-sighted you know like if you 1636 01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:18,100 they should have like keep it all 1637 01:38:18,100 --> 01:38:19,840 man with the mindset just keep it all 1638 01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:24,100 because they're gonna come after 1639 01:38:24,100 --> 01:38:26,220 you regardless like it's not like 600 1640 01:38:26,220 --> 01:38:28,060 bitcoin is a small amount that you could 1641 01:38:28,060 --> 01:38:29,760 forget you know yeah 1642 01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:33,840 I don't know I still have a little bit of 1643 01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:36,140 conspiracy theory mind you know I 1644 01:38:36,140 --> 01:38:37,440 grew up in the world where 1645 01:38:37,440 --> 01:38:39,680 Canadian exchange operators 1646 01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:41,980 faked their own death in India. 1647 01:38:41,980 --> 01:38:48,980 You know, like, I also know like Adam Back is in some serious financial 1648 01:38:48,980 --> 01:38:50,780 difficulties right now. 1649 01:38:50,780 --> 01:39:06,313 I don know how you run a company and like never become profitable and have hundreds of million dollars of fiat funding and then and then you get hacked for like whatever money and it just like how how is this guy still operational 1650 01:39:06,313 --> 01:39:12,113 man and i don't know man i i feel like there's funny business going down but i've got no proof 1651 01:39:12,113 --> 01:39:19,953 of anything we'll see are you saying that like maybe maybe it's useful in some way like what's 1652 01:39:19,953 --> 01:39:24,273 going on is that what you mean does adam back actually know who the hackers are is there 1653 01:39:24,273 --> 01:39:28,593 is their act does he actually not know who they are i mean i don't know 1654 01:39:28,593 --> 01:39:35,173 yeah i don't i don't know enough about what's going on over there i i have a jade 1655 01:39:35,173 --> 01:39:43,513 you know or are you saying that andy andy back he's hacked his own company i'm not saying i'm 1656 01:39:43,513 --> 01:39:47,693 just saying we've seen crazy crazier things happen in big oh did andy come out the crazy 1657 01:39:47,693 --> 01:39:49,593 Andy came out. 1658 01:39:50,473 --> 01:39:51,933 Yeah, no, Adam didn't hack himself, 1659 01:39:52,073 --> 01:39:53,473 but Andy might have hacked Adam. 1660 01:39:54,913 --> 01:39:57,113 Doctor backing Mr. Andy. 1661 01:40:01,073 --> 01:40:03,853 Because I've for a long time thought that 1662 01:40:03,853 --> 01:40:07,553 Liquid was a fantastic privacy tool because... 1663 01:40:07,553 --> 01:40:09,873 Because of bulletproofs and confidential transactions, yeah. 1664 01:40:10,693 --> 01:40:13,893 Well, but also you can bridge onto Lightning 1665 01:40:13,893 --> 01:40:15,353 and then exit. 1666 01:40:15,353 --> 01:40:25,373 I mean, using it as a way to move money just seemed like a very simple, very easy thing. 1667 01:40:26,153 --> 01:40:29,253 And there are a bunch of cool little swap services that look great. 1668 01:40:30,133 --> 01:40:32,753 Yeah, the privacy on the other side is pretty decent, I feel like. 1669 01:40:33,193 --> 01:40:35,933 But not if you can't move them. 1670 01:40:36,293 --> 01:40:41,753 And it's crazy that they didn't even, like what they exploited made it. 1671 01:40:41,753 --> 01:40:45,353 So, you know, the security, right, is like all the keys. 1672 01:40:45,513 --> 01:40:46,673 It's a giant multi-sig. 1673 01:40:47,493 --> 01:40:52,313 But you have to have like an auto, if you're running like a swap in and out, 1674 01:40:52,513 --> 01:40:58,233 you have to have an automated way to exchange in and out of the network, 1675 01:40:58,393 --> 01:41:00,313 like to have an approved transaction. 1676 01:41:01,213 --> 01:41:08,173 And what they gained was a shortcut in the bulletproof verification 1677 01:41:08,173 --> 01:41:11,893 where essentially there was like a caching system 1678 01:41:11,893 --> 01:41:17,373 for proving that a bulletproof was a valid transaction. 1679 01:41:18,013 --> 01:41:21,473 And then they would cash that approval 1680 01:41:21,473 --> 01:41:22,993 and they wouldn't check it again 1681 01:41:22,993 --> 01:41:25,253 if they thought they were getting the exact same transaction. 1682 01:41:25,973 --> 01:41:27,593 And somehow they found an exploit 1683 01:41:27,593 --> 01:41:29,333 that allowed them to submit a new transaction 1684 01:41:29,333 --> 01:41:32,133 to actually make edits to it and submit it 1685 01:41:32,133 --> 01:41:33,573 and make it look like it was valid 1686 01:41:33,573 --> 01:41:35,913

with the previous approval that they did 1687 01:41:35,913 --> 01:41:40,433 because of like the stack of like how the confident or the bulletproofs or whatever 1688 01:41:40,433 --> 01:41:44,993 like it would verify like certain pieces but it like left out these two critical 1689 01:41:44,993 --> 01:41:52,713 things that kind of like a there was a bug in bitcoin actually that i believe worked kind of 1690 01:41:52,713 --> 01:41:59,233 in this same theoretical mistake was that there looked like there was a redundant check 1691 01:41:59,233 --> 01:42:05,693 where when you got a transaction and then when you got a block and uh one of those 1692 01:42:05,693 --> 01:42:12,613 checks was dropped from the code um this is the one i think uh i can't remember what the name of 1693 01:42:12,613 --> 01:42:17,853 it was but i think it was shit no i don't want to say i don't want to say the guy's name that i think 1694 01:42:17,853 --> 01:42:25,453 it was just because i'm not trying to run somebody to the mud um but anyway run him if i could well i 1695 01:42:25,453 --> 01:42:34,073 could be totally wrong it could be misremembering their name um or who it was i mean uh but uh it 1696 01:42:34,073 --> 01:42:40,053 Basically, they dropped what they thought was a redundant verification because they'd already done it. 1697 01:42:40,473 --> 01:42:47,233 But it's different in the when the scenario is different, when you receive the information from a different location, it actually matters to check it again. 1698 01:42:47,233 --> 01:43:00,553 And so that was kind of what sounds like what happened is they they had the approved transaction that was of a proper amount of Bitcoin and they had cashed the approval. 1699 01:43:00,553 --> 01:43:05,213 and then misapplied that approval to a new transaction 1700 01:43:05,213 --> 01:43:07,213 that was like, give me 4,400 Bitcoin. 1701 01:43:07,793 --> 01:43:09,733 And they did it quietly because it's like, you know, 1702 01:43:09,773 --> 01:43:12,573 confidential transactions, like, and they're like automatic approval. 1703 01:43:12,573 --> 01:43:14,633 And then boom, there's a Bitcoin transaction 1704 01:43:14,633 --> 01:43:17,853 with like everything that's in Liquid, you know? 1705 01:43:19,073 --> 01:43:21,933 There's the zero knowledge fuck up. 1706 01:43:22,313 --> 01:43:24,393 And that's just zero knowledge proofs are hard to verify. 1707 01:43:24,573 --> 01:43:26,913 And so you cash and caching can be buggy. 1708 01:43:27,233 --> 01:43:27,393 Yep. 1709 01:43:27,673 --> 01:43:30,113 But the second aspect is the peg out. 1710 01:43:30,553 --> 01:43:33,033 Because Liquid is a custodial system, right? 1711 01:43:33,073 --> 01:43:34,693 The Bitcoin are no longer on your keys. 1712 01:43:34,813 --> 01:43:36,673 They're on like 11 or 15 multisig. 1713 01:43:37,093 --> 01:43:37,433 Exactly. 1714 01:43:37,713 --> 01:43:40,733 And you know, maybe, just maybe, 1715 01:43:40,873 --> 01:43:44,193 but if 4,000 Bitcoin get pegged out, 1716 01:43:45,473 --> 01:43:49,173 let a human look over it, you know, run a check. 1717 01:43:50,233 --> 01:43:54,613 Don't fully automate like 100% withdrawal 1718 01:43:54,613 --> 01:43:55,953 of a custodial system. 1719 01:43:56,413 --> 01:43:57,933 That's really the problem right there, 1720 01:43:58,153 --> 01:44:00,533 is that there was no like, 1721 01:44:00,553 --> 01:44:06,893 size guard on, you know, like automated approval. 1722 01:44:07,253 --> 01:44:09,973 And like that, that should happen. 1723 01:44:09,979 --> 01:44:14,319 both at the network level and then also at the service level, right?

In order to invite you to a group, 2155 02:04:55,478 --> 02:04:59,478 I will put the invite event to a relay that is in your 2156 02:04:59,478 --> 02:05:00,478 list. 2157 02:04:59,990 --> 02:05:09,110 And lo and behold, that's the main bug in the initial release is that people miss their invites to groups because the relays are dead. 2158 02:05:09,110 --> 02:05:09,630 Because it's on a dead relay. 2159 02:05:11,430 --> 02:05:16,890 And we already have fixes for that, thankfully, and that's hopefully going to be released on Monday or something. 2160 02:05:17,050 --> 02:05:17,930 So it should be soon. 2161 02:05:18,470 --> 02:05:27,150 Well, if I don't really suck or I'm an idiot and I give up or whatever, I'm just going to keep going with everything that we're doing with Paradrive. 2162 02:05:27,150 --> 02:05:33,010 and I really hope and wanted to make a Noster client, 2163 02:05:34,150 --> 02:05:37,110 or not even necessarily make a Noster client, 2164 02:05:37,310 --> 02:05:40,190 but I want to use, I want to be able to comment on files 2165 02:05:40,190 --> 02:05:43,410 and I want to be able to heart and like stuff 2166 02:05:43,410 --> 02:05:46,870 with my friends and family and collections that we're in. 2167 02:05:47,370 --> 02:05:51,590 And it seems absolutely stupid to not just use signed messages 2168 02:05:51,590 --> 02:05:52,350 because that's what we're doing. 2169 02:05:52,710 --> 02:05:55,010 Everything is signed messages in our whole system. 2170 02:05:55,010 --> 02:06:01,110 um and so it's like well noster is the joint key right i don't want to bore i don't want to 2171 02:06:01,110 --> 02:06:07,290 wonder if this is mom's iphone or mom's ipad like you know it's just it's my mother that's 2172 02:06:07,290 --> 02:06:14,630 making this comment um and uh so what i want to do though is to essentially be able to make a noster 2173 02:06:14,630 --> 02:06:20,970 client and have the wss colon slash slash you know a bunch of those those relays and then at the 2174 02:06:20,970 --> 02:06:27,870 bottom, I put my pair drives, pair core, colon slash slash in my key. And I didn't put in another 2175 02:06:27,870 --> 02:06:33,690 space for my family and like all our close friends. And if none of those relays respond, 2176 02:06:34,250 --> 02:06:37,470 well, I'm just going to go look in the space and see what everybody's latest version of their 2177 02:06:37,470 --> 02:06:41,810 index is, which is just the index of their posts and comments and all that stuff. And I just 2178 02:06:41,810 --> 02:06:47,530 aggregate it from directly from my friends. So the whole idea is to try to add a peer-to-peer 2179 02:06:47,530 --> 02:06:53,050 layer alongside the relay and there's no reason not to have both i get just the overhead it's not 2180 02:06:53,050 --> 02:06:59,130 that much yeah and if both people are online you just go direct that's where again phips comes in 2181 02:06:59,130 --> 02:07:05,670 like if i'm following gg and gg is has a device his start nine or whatever his second and third 2182 02:07:05,670 --> 02:07:12,650 and fifth project computer is online with his no stir history why am i not using his key to find his 2183
