Topic: Decred's Bison Relay (Read 7 times)

I installed Bison Relay but the page expected to show invitations for new users to get started connecting to folk is empty.

Rather than limit my scope to people specifically following Decred's own announcements thread I figured I'd ask here if anyone is interested in connecting over this end to end encrypted chat that apparently discarded user accounts and other potentially sensitive metadata carrying elements in favour of directly connecting users with minimum feasible escape of user metadata to servers and such.

Decred's thread has links to blog posts claiming some kind of insiders conspiracy has been conspiring to keep the world from being informed about Decred, yet nonetheless on looking in my AtomicWallet expecting to find a supposedly-suppressed blockchain wouldn't be there only to find lo and behold it is there so it was simple to have the wallet swap something else for some Decred to get me started.

Very weird though is that later the same day while reading NaMeCoin's announce thread to check that of course an ancient established coin like NaMeCoin would of course be in AtomicWallet only to find NameCoin seems not to be there! Who, exactly, is it that some insider conspiracy is actually suppressing, again?

Part of what looks interesting about Decred / Bison Relay is apparently they do real atomic swaps between blockchains, though whether NaMeCoin is one such chain I do not yet know nor do I yet know whether actually all such similar chains are implicitly included due to configuring a swap being so configurable one merely plugs in relevant byte by byte details or somesuch of each blockchain and what encryption and signature methods it uses and presto ready to use your newfangled newly made up chain.

Here is where I read it has atomic swaps: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.58824131

So anyway, anyone interested in chatting over Bison Relay? I cannot even tell yet how its topics work as that tab of client is unpopulated until I get one or more contacts; it seems maybe to imply topic channels though so once in there we can find channels about almost any topic of interest at all including maybe any altcoins we happen to have common interest in?

Not sure how sensitive invites are, so if DM here seems too insecure maybe use Keybase end to end encrypted chat to invite me into Bison Relay? My Keybase handle is knotwork.
