My worse fear has materialized. This is why I've never used an external Obsidian plugin and only my own plugins. It was only a matter of time before some malicious code ended up in one.

Brother, we are vindicated! There are indeed many cool bits and blobs out there, but I am already trusting one entity to secure my private notes, no way I am taking a pinky-promise from extension XYZ to behave.

(I actually use LogSeq, but same idea applies).


Can you clarify what you mean? The example is to show concretely the computation. It works as long as you have the basic setup for shamir secret sharing (and other linear secret sharing schemes actually but I didn't go into that in the article)

You aren't the only one that has alerted me of framer-based sites crashing on iOS. I'm trying to find a resolution but it appears to be a framer problem. I asked one of my friends and he was able to access the article fine.

Most explanations just give formulas and no intuition. I tried to give intuition and a concrete example. If you email me, I can share the images that help with the intuition without the rest of the blog post.

Lol, thank you for that. I'll edit it.

This looks great but how does it differ from the many wallet services that offer link sharing built-in without the subscription? As many wallets support tokens across many chains these days, link sharing is essentially a feature and no longer its own product.


good question, wallet links work if the payer already has the right token on the right chain. Often they don’t. What im building isn't the link itself, but removing the burden from the payer of swapping or bridging on other defi platforms, just to send the tx, and that can take time. With a txpay link, they just connect their wallet, and send the requested value with whatever token/chain the hold. This removes friction and increases payment completion, instead of just sharing an address


Don't give this to a schnauzer.


Both of my worlds are colliding with this article. I love reading about how deeply technical products/artifacts get used in art.


You can still derive a lot of info without having possession of the data through the use of PETs. There's a reason why companies like Google and Tik Tok make heavy use of PETs for their advertising products.


"PETs"?


So that's how my CAT and DOG aquired their new shiny toys. They sold my info.


Yeah, I have no idea what this acronym stands for.


I found "Privacy Enhancing Technologies".

This article is kind of hilarious to read. This is my life since getting a dog (and I've been doing versions of it before my dog too) but this guy just discovered the way Europeans have been living for hundreds of years and wrote a whole article about it. I guess this is also one of the great things about the internet. Another person's mundane thing is another person's discovery.
