Hello! I have started a flipstarter crowdfunding campaign to launch a #Persian website to promote and teach Bitcoin Cash.
The website is currently here:

The flipstarter is here and I have explained everything in details:

Reposts appreciated.
Did you know that #GNU/ #FSF has its own #darknet application and protocol stack?
What is #GNUnet?https://www.gnunet.org/en/index.html
GNUnet is an #alternative #network stack for building #secure, #decentralized and #privacy-preserving #distributed applications. Our goal is to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack. Starting from an application for secure #publication of #files, it has grown to include all kinds of basic protocol components and applications towards the creation of a GNU internet.
Today, the actual use and thus the social requirements for a global network differs widely from those goals of 1970. While the Internet remains suitable for military use, where the network equipment is operated by a command hierarchy and when necessary isolated from the rest of the world, the situation is less tenable for civil society.
Due to fundamental Internet design choices, Internet traffic can be misdirected, intercepted, censored and manipulated by hostile routers on the network. And indeed, the modern Internet has evolved exactly to the point where, as Matthew Green put it, "the network is hostile".
We believe liberal societies need a #network #architecture that uses the #anti-authoritarian #decentralized #peer-to-peer paradigm and #privacy-preserving #cryptographic #protocols. The goal of the GNUnet project is to provide a Free Software realization of this ideal.
"Protecting #democracy from threats created by Internet #platforms is a laudable goal. But it is not worth the cost imposed by legislative attempts so far: empowering the government to control legal speech online. Lawmakers’ attempts to impose their own top-down speech rules are particularly unwarranted given the far more promising possibilities offered by #usercontrolled and #decentralized #contentmoderation systems."

I said it before on Mastodon. I'm reposting this again. Comparing #DeltaChat and #Matrix together, if you want hassle free and consistent messenger for private #E2EE chats, don't go for Matrix. DeltaChat is way better.
However, if you want something like a public forum, or a public chatroom, don't go for DeltaChat. Matrix is way better suited for that. And DeltaChat does not support public groups at all. In DeltaChat groups, there is no admin or moderator and everyone have got permission to remove or add the others.
I think I have to write a longer post on my personal blog about these two, comparing them together.
PS: Another Matrix encryption bug few minutes ago triggered repost of this.

Movim offers a feature-packed social and chat alternative to the big centralized and proprietary platforms. 
It is decentralized, fully built on the #XMPP Internet standard and can easily be deployed on a simple web server.
Which social or chat platform do you think Movim replaces the best? 
#alternative #madeineurope #decentralized @european_alternatives
Anybody know of a good alternative to #matrix for #e2ee #decentralized chat?
Consieering #xmpp again. Have tried #jami
#matrix is pretty good but maintaining it is more hassle than I'd like, and my local users don't really benefit from the #federation aspect much.
Just shopping I guess
We're helping people join the open social web.
By showing them that they can:
- Own their community
- Escape the billionaires
- Rediscover what makes social good
What else should we tell them about the open social web? Why do you love it?

@osman If your #OpSec, #InfoSec, #ComSec and/or #ITsec relies on @signalapp and/or @Mer__edith risking jail or worse, you fucked up!
Seriously, to me #Signal stenches #Honeypot like #ANØM & #CryptoAG.
That's why I get people setup with it!

I federated this blog
Im officially part of the cool kids club of the decentralized web: I federated this WordPress blog with the ActivityPub Plugin by Matthias Pfefferle @pfefferle. It seems to work: The plugin has created a mastodon profile that anyone can follow. New blogposts are automatically posted there. Not sure if I can comment or reply with that profile. Time to explore. #FediBlog #ActivityPub #WordPress #Decentralized
