Oxen Weekly Dev Update #183

Published on: 24.01.2022

Oxen released Weekly Dev Update #183 about Beginning a work in progress PR for transaction creation in wallet3, New Lokinet release & more.

🔹Oxen Core

🔹Session

This week the Session team has been busy working on global search, fixing various bugs, and working on planning the implementation of spam mitigation features for Session.

Spam is a growing issue on Session, and so the team is developing and beginning to create a three-pronged approach to deal with it:

  • Session is introducing a concept called “message requests” which will group messages from unknown contacts into a secondary section of the app to better allow you to filter and choose who you want to talk to.

  • New versions of Session and SOGS will support “blinded” keys so that all participants in an open group will use quasi-random keys rather than having to reveal their actual Session ID.  Your contacts will be able to know that it’s you, but strangers will only see a random ID that doesn’t reveal your Session ID.

  • Users will be able to send introductory private messages to other open group users through the open group itself, allowing a user to choose whether they wish to initiate a Session conversation with a new contact, or decline the conversation, giving users more control over who knows their Session ID.
