Yes

I didnt know that

does it matter if it is encrypted if they have the keys, or a backdoor inside the encryption method?

I guess that makes sense

personally I think czech should also be supported, I do own a Prusa I3 MK3 3d printer after all

Ofc discord isnt probably secure from gov institutions

*wants that sweet cool prusamant fillament after all*

@Misomania depends on encrpytion technology.

Sha256 for example . If you have the "keys" it takes many lifetimes of the universe to crack it it open. Making viable the technology as we don't have that much time

Time vs cost vs target. Target often isn't worth time or cost.

if the govt is spying on me, they know I've printed out han solo's blaster from star wars a new hope!!

crap! I'm fucked! thats a possible 5 to 15 year prison sentance!!

@Brant the problem is with cia murdering people

Or whoever else.

over printed DL-44 blasters?

They don't exactly have good track record

@Graylan | gray00 you don't need to decrypt anything if you have the keys though

wonder what kind of holiday for a single person who doesnt drive can have in the US

decryption keys let you remove the encryption or bypass it

@Misomania the problem is if you have a public key doesn't mean you have a private key.

need to hit a shooting range with a good choice of weapons, would like to hit some good zoos / museums would love to see a rocket launch, etc etc

platforms like discord can give both to the governments asking for them though @Graylan | gray00

if you are not the one doing the encryption, you cannot assume it's being done in a way that works

@Misomania yeah encryption has many flavors.

End to end or user encrpyted and only user viewable.

Steem dpos uses an interesting encrpytion that you cannot read the code unless you have your own private key.

So if I send you a message

No one else but me and you can see it.

still has to include the user themselves at some point, they have to generate their own key outside of the platform

and that excludes most platforms and most users capabilities

I'm talking about steem dpos

Only a handful of those decentralized systems on the planet

Concensus and powerful encryption ensure no one can read it. Only sender and receiver . While still being hosted inside the blockchain forever.

With discord it's not like this. At all. It's simple database. I can go edit all your messages if I wanted to and worked at discord.

You can't edit the blocks in a blockchain see.

signal is pretty well established at this point if you want private communication

you can however man in the middle a blockchain

which is why they are thinking about an inherent private key killswitch for the blockchain

so that the chain self breaks if a node fails that private key exchange
