Hello everyone,

https://chat.positive-intentions.com

I'm excited to share with you an instant messaging application I've been working on that might interest you. This is a chat app designed to work within your browser, with a focus on browser-based security and decentralization.

What makes this app unique is that it doesn't rely on big servers to function. Instead, it works based on your device's capabilities, so even low-end devices should work.

Here are some features of the app:

• Secure messaging: Your messages are encrypted, making them more secure.
• File sharing: Easily share files using WebRTC technology and QR codes.
• Voice and video calls: Connect with others through voice and video calls.
• Shared virtual space: Explore a shared mixed-reality space, similar to a metaverse.
• Image board: Browse and share images in a scrollable format, similar to Instagram.

Your security is a top priority. Here's how the app keeps you safe:

• Decentralized authentication: No central server is required for login, making it harder for anyone to gain unauthorized access.
• Unique IDs: Your ID is cryptographically random, adding an extra layer of security.
• End-to-end encryption: Your messages are encrypted from your device to the recipient's device, ensuring only you and the recipient can read them.
• Local data storage: Your data is stored only on your device, not on any external servers.
• Self-hostable: You have the option to host the app on your own server if you prefer.

The app is still in the early stages and I'm exploring what's possible with this technology. I'd love to hear your feedback on the idea and the current state of the app. If you have any feature requests or ideas, I'm all ears!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Note 1: As a solo-developer, i dont have the capacity or knowlege to do anything like an "official launch". i expect the app will progressively get better with feedback from users (as it has so far).

Note 2: I think the app has (approximately?) reached a feature-complete state, but i'm not sure. I'm looking for feedback on what features are missing, and what features are not needed. The next step would be to grow the number of users by making the app more user-friendly and easier to use. (I need your help on this)

Note 3: The app is not open source yet (sorry), but im open to answering questions about how the code is working (more details can be found in the docs). Open sourcing the app is something i would like to do in the future, but not a priority right now. some parts of the app are open source.

Note 4: The UI is a clunky implementation of Material-UI. It's something i will fix as i move towards open sourcing the UI components. i will take the opportunity to also give more attention to a "desktop friendly UI" (right now the app is best experienced on a mobile device).

Note 5: Id like to keep the wording i have for "pods" although i have recieved feedback about it not being clear what it means. A pod is what you might think of as like a "chat room" and will be further developed to support group-chat. you can create a pod with a connected peer in the contact-details-page. The wording "pod" comes from how a group of whales is called a pod.

Anyone heard of the MaidSafe project?

"SAFE is truly decentralized and that means no contracts, gatekeepers or
continual payment for services. SAFE is the only network, we know of, that
runs on commodity hardware and includes everyone from the ground level
upwards."

They're aiming to build a decentralised web without blockchain and concentrating more on protocols and AI.

Like cash in the real world, there is no central list keeping track of how much cash every person has and all transactions. Easy in real world because if you give someone cash you necessarily lose it yourself so as long as the cash you have is valid (money is not fake) then you know you must be the only person who has that specific note/coin. But this is not the case in data world. So is there another way of doing this for digital world?

CUDOS has launched the CUDOS Intercloud on January 16, 2024. Half the team is from data centers and the cloud, and then developers. They built the UK's largest data with extensive experience. Early applications, like monetizing Desktop PC with 800k users, generated about $50m in revenue. This experience led to building democratised cloud compute for web2 (CUDO Compute) and a Cloud computing for web3, which has gone live this January.

CUDOS Intercloud's launch indicates a transformative impact on Web3 and decentralization. Offering Linux-based VMs in a Web3 environment, paid with cryptocurrency, bridges traditional cloud services with decentralized computing. The vast, distributed cloud infrastructure enhances Web3 compatibility, providing seamless cross-chain communication and privacy-centric experiences. Its GPU access opens new realms for high-performance workloads. CUDOS Intercloud embodies decentralization, eliminating sign-ups and KYC, fostering a truly decentralized approach. As a pioneer in this evolution, it empowers users to navigate a future where accessibility, performance, and distribution converge in the decentralized cosmos.

The app collects no user data. It keeps the seedphrase or private key you enter on the device, its never seen by anyone and can't leave the device. Its stored on the devices keychain which is the most encrypted state and is then ran through several layers of additional encyption, includingh obstification and shuffling/shuffling so its insanely secure.

Decentralization and transparency are easily established core tenets of blockchain technology. Scalability and privacy are more challenging. Oasis Network is unique because it effectively solves the blockchain privacy paradox while maintaining a highly scalable network that can help with establishing a multi-chain web3 autonomy.

The year 2023 has been excellent for the network as it makes privacy smarter with customizable confidentiality solutions for web3 dApps and use cases. The products Oasis has launched, the ecosystem partnerships it has put in place, and the events it has attended have helped the blockchain community take notice as a testament to its relevance, scope, and impact in shaping the next-gen web3.

Among these partnerships, special mention must be made of Crust Network (Polkadot) and Oraichain (Cosmos) which are examples of cross-ecosystem interoperability utilizing Sapphire and OPL respectively. There have also been 4 grant recipients who have benefitted from the Oasis brand of smart privacy - Crust Network, CoinSender, illumineX, and NFTb (soon to be PixelRealm).

It is not enough to come up with innovative solutions, a truly decentralized blockchain protocol must share its expertise with the community and bring together a collaboration among like-minded enthusiasts. Oasis has done just that throughout the year as it has hosted a groundbreaking hackathon and participated in key presentations, panels, and keynotes in events all over the world where developers, dApp builders, and end users find common ground.

In an effort to round up the year and prepare for the next, Oasis is organizing a year-end community town hall. It will celebrate the highlights that have revitalized the decentralization of web3 by combining it with smart privacy. All are welcome to register and join the live streaming of the event.

If you would want Oasis to guide your exploration into web3 and privacy, this is a useful repository of resources.

So, what are the decentralized and confidential use cases that have caught your attention this year, and what others do you hope to see coming up next?

Hey guys, me and my team are creating a blockchain based alternative for E-sign platforms like Docu-sign, I need to that have you guys faced any inconveniences in these e-sign platforms. I know they’re kind of perfect, but there still might be something which you may have felt is important or any specific pain points that made you stop using them.

Cosmos, a decentralized and interoperable network comprising independent blockchains, applications, and services, employs a modular approach. It separates Tendermint Core from the application layer, facilitating easier development for a strong and supportive community.

Game developers can harness the CUDOS network to create robust, secure, and community-driven gaming experiences. This not only ensures a more resilient infrastructure but also fosters a vibrant community.

There is currently a bit of social Decentralisation Application takeoff in the ecosystem. It's a great adoption A lot of infrastructure plays at the moment in the blockchain world. CUDOS love to welcome more and more Dapps to build on the CUDOS blockchain. They're likes of CUDOS Blockchain Compute(CBC) Technical Preview from CUDOS already.

Developing powerful DAPPS within Web3 requires both an ownership layer that represents things like cryptocurrency, smart contract, NFTs, etc. But for a balanced and better representation of these ownerships on-chain, while still having a great user experience like in the case of video gaming, Decentralised cloud is needed and CUDOS blockchain compute can comfortably pull these out effectively. It's set to go live before the end of the year.

Validators are the backbone of blockchain networks, securing transactions and maintaining integrity. In the world of CUDOS, they're vital to achieve true decentralization. Validators also have a voice in CUDOS's future! Your staking power can influence governance decisions, shaping the network's direction. Ready to become a validator? It's easy! Delegate a minimum of 2M CUDOS tokens to start making a difference. Much easier after network upgrade. Curious to learn more about CUDOS governance! You're welcome to read more - in the comment.
