Notes

No existing protocol has E2EE and protections of metadata

Created PGMP - Private Group Message Protocol

Replies routed through original post or device

  • allows for reply controls
  • problem with the routing: reply delivery could be delayed if originating post device is not online

Private posting means much easier moderation - only interacting with friends and FoF Anonymous replies - can reply “anonymously”

  • OP sees who are are, but your identity is hidden from others

Needs help with:

  • UX
  • Security Review
  • Plugging into other protocols
