we spent a week designing a 'reset my account' flow for dwinity storage, then closed the ticket. there is no account to reset. the wallet is the login, and nobody on our side can let you back in, no matter how nicely you ask. best worst feature we've ever shipped.
quick privacy check. answer these four without looking anything up:
who can read your cloud files besides you
who holds the key to your chat backups
what happens to your data when the provider gets acquired
who can reset your password without asking you
if any answer is "not sure", that is your actual security model.
we built ours so all four come out the same. nobody.
people keep asking how login works without an account.
there is no account. your wallet signs a challenge, the signature proves you hold the key, session over. nothing stored on our side, nothing to leak, no password reset flow anyone can talk their way through.
the boring part: lose the key and we cannot help you. that is not a bug, that is the trade.
the eu parliament didn't pass a new law today. it just declined to kill an old one. the "voluntary" message-scanning rule (reg 2021/1232) rolls on toward 2028. voluntary means your provider decides, not you. the only messages that stay yours are the ones no provider ever holds.
"the cloud" is just someone else's computer with your files on it and their name on the lease. when they get breached, raided, or simply bored, your data is part of the deal. store it the way you store crypto: keys in your hand, not in their basement.
No accounts. No servers full of your messages. No history to leak.
Just your @phantom wallet → encrypted chat on https://t.co/eCnTvoxtEU. Own your data, own your conversations.

@dwinity_eco The centralized server technology system is very easy to be intervened by the government and that is the current weak point, the stored metadata can be requested by the government in any country
the head of whatsapp is handing it off today, after nearly 7 years of "private messaging for 3 billion people." but e2e hides what you say, not who you say it to. that metadata still sits on meta's servers, and it's the part governments actually ask for. we built https://t.co/tTZ4qO33gi with no server in the middle to hold it.
