Marmot currently is capped at ~150 member groups, because nostr relay have an event size limit of 64KB.
If you want larger groups, gotta use a relay with higher limits.
We can also put welcome & commit events on blossom, that doesn't have that size constraint.

That's awesome, I'm kinda jealous, we set our goal to move dev comms fully to White Noise in about two months, it's still not there yet...

It works really well for accounts that have a small follow list.
The problem is the outbox model, so many relay hints are from dead relays, and that overwhelms the current release which caused freezes and message drops.
Current master branch is finally working for my main account, so it seems its at least less broken now.

You can turn off notification permission and put app battery usage to optimized, that should fix it for now.
Next release will have relay connection improvements, and that should also improve battery performance.

2026-03-10 01:01:17 CET

Your relay list looks good, and you don't even have many follows. Which might have been a reason for the drain.
Really hard to reproduce that issue...

That's so weird... For me its < 2% with two White Noise apps (production and staging) since the last release...

Looks like we have fixed the outbox model relay connections in @nprofile…radp, users with a large follow list now don't get overwhelmed with relay connections, which caused messages to not be delivered or received.
We still have more polishing to do, but next release will hopefully work for your existing npubs!

You get their npubs in person or over a trusted existing channel.

2026-03-06 22:29:09 CET

- reply

Or they just send you a DM from their main npub mentioning the new npub. Trust can be inherited this way.

Just try with a new npub and it should work great.

2026-03-06 16:12:32 CET

The latest @nprofile…radp release works well for new npubs, but if you have a lot of follows, the app connects to too many relays and gets overwhelmed, messages don't get sent or received then.
Even when you log out of that large account, the error will persist, so you'll have to wipe the storage completely and log in with a fresh of low follow count account.
Please have a bit of patience, the next release should fix that, sorry!

The blind signature is the oldest and most consequential trick in privacy cryptography, yet most people who benefit from it daily have never seen how it works. This post traces the full family tree: Chaum's RSA construction, Wagner's elliptic curve variant, Schnorr blinding and the attack that nearly killed it, BLS threshold signatures, and the algebraic MACs that replaced them all. Each scheme gets an intuitive walkthrough showing why it works and which real systems chose which construction.

Mesh protocols have proliferated, each generating separate cryptographic identities with no relationship to anything you already own. FIPS, announced yesterday by GNU Radio's former Chief Architect, takes a different approach: your existing Nostr keypair becomes your mesh address.

War is a business with concentrated beneficiaries and dispersed victims. The defense industry has already won the arithmetic of democratic politics: small groups with large stakes outorganize large groups with small ones. Moral arguments against war fail because they address the powerless while ignoring the powerful. Peace will prevail when the incentive structure that makes war profitable is redesigned to make peace more profitable.
