Hi all,
Just wanted to give a heads up that over at Matrix.org we're making a
push to get the Matrix protocol & reference implementations to a 1.0
release - particularly solving some long-standing issues in our
decentralised room state consensus algorithm; improving key management &
verification UX for E2E; and solving some cute problems like syncing
aggregated data (e.g. upvotes/downvotes) via Merkle proofs rather than
replicating each event individually. Meanwhile the network is growing
rapidly, with all the fun that entails.
We recently got some significant funding from the nice folks at
Status.im[1], so I thought it worth mentioning that if anyone is looking
for a fulltime gig working on decentralised opensource E2E crypto and
messaging then we're now able to pay folks to live the dream :) Also,
we're interested in seeing how/if our existing Megolm shared-ratchet
group-chat E2E can play with MLS and how the two stack up against each
other - so please ping me offlist if that's your kind of thing.
thanks,
Matthew
