Yes, and that's what I'm saying - the attach vector is small. There isn't much on the network to take advantage of. It's basically one giant value-encrypted lookup table

Everything on your list except one is possible with servers + crypto. The exception is permissionless operation. Any server-based design has an "operator" who can be compromised. The network should outlive the operator, function w

But notice your own option: "stop communicating with people you don't trust." For a group, kick is an option: everyone stops including X, at once. And that's where the leader matters -> to make that option executable

Sure, the offline delivery part can be thought of as e-mail-ish. Is that what you're going for?

I've looked now... We have a similar design regarding the leadership roles, with the difference that they support multiple "leaders". However, they use a full-mesh which means sending a message to each user separately. Kiyeov

This is genuinely cool (and weird that I haven't heard of it). I released the 1.0 version today, but I'm already thinking about improvements for v2. Hopefully you will figure it out and I can implement it for v2 haha Best of luck!

Thank you!

Sure, but what is there to hijack in a messenger platform? The groups basically act as their own separate islands, and everything is signed for their buckets. Worst thing that an attacker can do is hurt availability

The issue with that is that when there is no "leader", there is also no way to guarantee kicking someone out. Signal didn't have the kick option for years, and they only added it once they moved the group state management to

I understand the vision, but I would still have to rotate keys through different groups. It doesn't solve anything, it just gives the illusion of a clean group delete-then-rebuild

I agree, and since there is no mobile version, this won't replace your whatsapp, and it was never designed for that. The actual people I see using this: - People who want anonymous messaging (I realize that there are already Tor messen

I have verified that the app works without an issue on clean installations of Ubuntu, Debian and MacOS. I have spent the last 2 days testing the app by pretending to be a malicious user and patched those holes up. I ran the whole app throug

In this blog post, I share my experience of fully letting the AI take over the wheel. My goal was to complete one of my small side-projects without having to think about it (while watching a TV show).

Haha, it's roughly pronounced as it's typed out. The name actually comes from a Croatian dialect. "Ki je ovo" translates to "who is this" -> and then when you connect the words and make it english compatible

The two modes are in one app for convenience, but they are separate systems. IMO, the risk is not data leaking between mode protocols/DHT, but rather the user linking their identity between the modes through their behavior - reusing us

Yes, I agree Tor is not the best anonymity service these days. I2P was my first choice, but the performance was just awful. I did not fully give up on the I2P idea, maybe it was just that day, so I will give it a second choice and mazbe add

I appreciate the criticism, really. In the current version users only have to exchange the username or peer ID via third party and then find each other on the DHT... However, there is also another way, which is already implemented and I am

by Realman78 6mo ago
You're right in general. The main mitigation here is that Kiyeovo does not trust unsigned DHT data: the important records are signed and validated. That doesn't fully solve censorship nor eclipse attacks, but it does stop record f
