Feb 19 – Mar 5, 2026
- OAuth3 demo converged — Andrew built a working prototype letting users discuss their TikTok watch history with OpenClaw via TEE-proxied credentials, presented at Financial Cryptography rump session
- Borgcube v1.1.3 shipped — Node pushed a major release with multi-TEE auth workers, auditable deployment, release page with per-entry attestation, and auth worker scaling
- Hermes launched daily newsletter — James shipped 7+ editions of Hermes Dispatches on Substack, building toward full automation via a skill-based agent
- Feedling iOS getting a facelift — MadlifeSama and Coder-Star landed 36 commits: gift drops, closet page, live activity redesign, friends feature removed, analytics events added
- Frictionmaxxing TikTok series kicked off — whizwang and albicodes started a 30-day challenge series on Feedling's TikTok, early engagement strong (2:1 bookmark-to-like ratio)
- Weekly Wrapped newsletter iterated — Sevenfloor and Prozhxxx added virality tracking, referral codes, mock mode for demos, and fixed inaccurate time/niche data
- ARIA proposal and github-zktls paper in progress — Andrew targeting the research community with FC26-NFTs and faucet demos
OAuth3 architecture solidified. Andrew built out the full stack: orchestrator (JWT issuer + tenant management), enclave (SES Compartment replacing Deno sandbox), plugin architecture with tiktok-history and cookie-session capabilities, and a Claude Code skill for agents. Conseca paper identified as closest prior work. Demo at oauth3-stage.monerolink.com — 5 signups after in-person demos at Financial Cryptography.
Borgcube v1.1.2 → v1.1.3 release cycle. Node (OGNodeFather/zero-core-b) drove 71 commits across the period. v1.1.2 fixed OAuth refresh token bugs, hardened security (timing-safe key comparison, XSS prevention, path traversal fix), and added a unified test suite. v1.1.3 brought multi-TEE auth workers, a rich release page with attestation data, cut-release.py automation, and holodeck mTLS cert setup. Andrew pushed for removeComposeHash on-contract to discard old versions and saving app_compose hashes for each deploy.
Feedling TikTok pivoted to 2 posts/day (down from 3) and shifted toward the frictionmaxxing content series — a 30-day challenge about reducing social media consumption. whizwang framed it as counter-cultural positioning aligned with slow food / farm-to-table movements.
Non-US TikTok login: Andrew's username/password login demo for non-US users is working on dstack. Node estimated integration "can probably be done in a couple days." Sevenfloor confirmed non-US account support targeted for Feedling product launch, not current Wrapped.
Hermes DNS issue recurring — sxysun flagged that Hermes deployments may be wiping CNAME records on Namecheap. James noted plan to migrate to Cloudflare.
Product marketing intern: whizwang proposed $30/hr for a college intern focused on IRL activations and product feedback (not social media). sxysun said to begin hiring 2 weeks post-app-launch, evaluate for summer availability.
Feedling iOS — Major UI refresh underway. Gift drop feature with animated webp and server-delivered widget text. Closet page with equipment levels. Friends feature removed. Live activity redesigned (unified lock screen + dynamic island). Analytics events added across home, giftdrop, closet, and states. Remote image loading replaced local assets.
Weekly Wrapped Newsletter — Prozhxxx shipped referral code tracking, virality metric (replacing raw percentages), mock mode for demo reports, and duplicate email detection. whizwang flagged inaccurate time-usage data and mismatched niche images. Sevenfloor acknowledged the gap between scroll-time tracking vs. native iPhone app-usage and said AI-powered image generation is coming.
Feedling Infra / Concurrency — Ray (zhihao) ran concurrency benchmarks on staging TEEs. Current best: 8 vCPU + 16GB, pool_size=5, concurrency 6-7. New tests covering 1-8 vCPU configs. Andrew noted tests were bypassing borgcube's queueing layer. Discussion about cancelling idle queue slots and understanding CPU usage across browser lifecycle stages.
awesome-ndai — Andrew created a curated repo of TEE/NDAI resources and a presentation outline, cleaned up for the FC conference.
github-zktls — Faucet contract address added to README. Andrew presented at FC26 rump session and pushed for spreading it among the research community. Sigbovik submission considered but deadline too tight (Mar 4).
Prediction market + social data alpha. Quintus proposed a "refund rule" where if someone stat-arbs a prediction market using your tweet, you get upside. James extended this to linking accounts to botnets that pool insights. novel connected it to Hermes post aggregation for trading signals. Discussion touched on measuring information divergence from common knowledge.
Community vs. audience debate. Sevenfloor pushed back on conflating community (members relate to each other) with audience (members relate to creator). whizwang clarified the CTA is app downloads — community is the goal, TikTok is the funnel. novel argued AI-era marketing shifts toward trust-based, friction-embracing approaches over hypergrowth.
TEE as visual layer. Andrew suggested communicating "being in a TEE" through a WebGL video filter on the remote browser feed — making the trust layer tangible to users.
Vana data portability. novel found Vana's open-source, local-first data connector supporting ChatGPT, Instagram, GitHub, LinkedIn, Spotify. Andrew noted they do a good job explaining user data rights. Directly relevant to Teleport's positioning.
Veracity Exchange — sxysun shared veracity.exchange, calling it "super aligned/relevant with what TEE hiveminds should be."
- Node (OGNodeFather) — 72+ commits across borgcube. Shipped v1.1.2 and v1.1.3 with release automation, multi-TEE support, and holodeck deployment.
