DESCRIPTION:Every group chat today lives on someone else's server. Discord 
 bans communities outright\, Slack deletes workspaces\, and Signal routes e
 very message through one organization in one jurisdiction. Pairwise DM cry
 pto is solved. Group ownership is not. Concord Protocol ships the full Dis
 cord feature set (channels\, roles\, bans\, invites\, voice) as end-to-end
  encrypted Nostr events over ordinary relays\, with no company\, no host\,
  no operator. This talk covers the three core ideas behind it (relays see 
 only ciphertext\, membership is key possession\, authority is a signature)
 \, the tradeoffs versus Signal and the MLS-based protocols Marmot and Cord
 n\, and live demos in Armada and Vector that the audience joins from their
  seats.
