Open

Description

@xaur

Maximize privacy of Decred stakeholders and users. Remove or minimize fingerprinting in our infrastructure.

VSPs

Politeia

  • ensure Pi works via Tor and TorBrowser (all use cases starting from signup)

Riot, Matrix

  • remove recaptcha from Riot registration form for matrix.decred.org (should be possible according to this doc)
    use Matrix onboarding page to warn about recaptcha enabled for matrix.org homeserver (until it is fixed)
  • research and eliminate Riot "calling home" to default identity server
    • the default identity server is at matrix.org or riot.im
    • requests are sent to it even when "identity server" field was cleared on the registration form
  • self-host Riot web app (Self-host Riot #62)

Other

  • More mirrors for release binaries
    • currently all users hit GitHub (Amazon? CloudFlare?) to download new binaries
    • file archive (File archive #26) would help here
