00:00.000 --> 00:11.600
I'm the closing session for this amazing track because I need to talk to you that you're

00:11.600 --> 00:15.200
something about that you're really doing bad.

00:15.200 --> 00:18.760
So I think we need to start a revolution.

00:18.760 --> 00:28.400
I think we started the revolution, but then we have one huge problem, the problem that

00:28.400 --> 00:35.840
they have is, but before talking about problem, there is a joke here, well I keep you

00:35.840 --> 00:42.320
for you to read, I want to say something that whatever I say to you today, don't trust

00:42.320 --> 00:49.400
me, go and verify what I said, please, and use this principle for almost everything that

00:49.400 --> 00:53.000
you do.

00:53.000 --> 01:03.600
So we do a bad work, so I started fighting chat control way back, I organized a community,

01:03.600 --> 01:10.640
I spoke to a lot of people, I spoke to journalists, and they said, we don't care,

01:10.640 --> 01:17.320
whatever happens, we don't care about using or someone scanning our devices for bad

01:17.320 --> 01:22.960
pictures, it's okay, and I said, okay, if you feel like that's fine, then I try to

01:23.040 --> 01:29.800
talk to journalists, think about, you need to protect your sources, PGP is one way

01:29.800 --> 01:35.880
of doing that, I will do a training for you free, come back, I'll explain how to set it up,

01:35.880 --> 01:42.120
there was like a zero interest, they said, we don't care about that, yeah, I'm talking

01:42.120 --> 01:49.400
about my country, Bulgaria, okay, not like a lot of international audience, then I

01:49.440 --> 01:53.760
don't know if you can join a few conferences in Prague, you know, we have a really strong

01:53.760 --> 01:59.760
kind of his community there, so if you want to join the revolution of the anarchists,

01:59.760 --> 02:08.520
you can come to Prague, I started talking to some people and they said, okay, bad words,

02:08.520 --> 02:14.840
bad words, bad words, I'm not allowed to mention, let them try, let them try to take

02:14.880 --> 02:20.160
my privacy back and they will see what will happen, I said, okay, then I started creating

02:20.160 --> 02:28.960
a conference call, called Floss, Free and Libra software, an open source software, two

02:28.960 --> 02:35.640
certified back, I went to a lot of conferences in Prague, I did them one of a few mistakes,

02:35.640 --> 02:43.640
I spoke about, you know, two like Briler, Delta Chat, Sessions, Messenger and War, and it

02:43.680 --> 02:49.040
was really nice, but you know, the most questions I get is, how do I tell or how

02:49.040 --> 02:55.520
they teach my grandmother to do that and why, so that is the problem that we have today as

02:55.520 --> 03:01.600
a community and we need to solve it, yes, the technology is this, we saw like a tons of

03:01.600 --> 03:06.480
examples, not just here, but across the whole campus today, amazing technology, that

03:06.560 --> 03:14.840
works, right, and we here are using it, right, when you go outside and start asking

03:14.840 --> 03:20.320
people, hey, do you know about this cool stuff, do you know about this protocol, do you

03:20.320 --> 03:25.320
know that, you know, you can, there are two that respect your privacy, they say, I don't

03:25.320 --> 03:31.560
care, so this is the problem, and after that, I mean, that was the structure part of

03:31.560 --> 03:39.280
my talk, so now it's as the unstructured front, how do we change that? I have a task for

03:39.280 --> 03:45.280
you, so I think our goal here today and there will be a lot of text for you to read,

03:45.280 --> 03:51.400
so our goal is to protect everyone's communication, right, I hope this is something

03:51.400 --> 03:58.080
that we agree on, our adoption, our goal is adoption because it doesn't, you know, we can

03:58.080 --> 04:05.280
create awesome technologies, but if no one uses them, we are failing at our mission, so

04:05.280 --> 04:10.960
I said, okay, I'll go and start collecting feedback, asking different people in my networks

04:10.960 --> 04:16.680
and talking to ordinary people outside of my networks, asking, you know, what is the problem,

04:16.680 --> 04:22.000
you know, we have these tools, you know, start describing the tools, what they do, why don't

04:22.000 --> 04:28.480
you use it, and I ask you know, people using those tools, how you will, you know, convince

04:28.480 --> 04:34.960
your mother or grant mother or somebody else to use it, so this is the feedback on a few

04:34.960 --> 04:43.880
slides quickly, what is the result of this research, so keep an open mind, read through the

04:43.880 --> 04:53.960
text, and think on how you can use this in your own products, so the sources are in

04:53.960 --> 05:02.920
how can you use MasterDone, I get a few respondents in sessions messenger, I talk about

05:02.920 --> 05:09.480
with a lot of people on various events, and I use some not-so-free messaging networks,

05:09.720 --> 05:15.560
you know, everyone knows, because this is where our customers are, right, we want to save them,

05:17.320 --> 05:23.480
so some of the results, those results are, you know, from real conversation or real feedback,

05:23.480 --> 05:29.960
maybe some of you shared this with me, I don't want to share this, so I mentioned some people

05:29.960 --> 05:36.200
in here, but they gave me the permission to do that, so the first result is, I asked, you know,

05:36.200 --> 05:41.000
the question, how do you can be someone to start using, you know, the decentralized tools,

05:41.800 --> 05:47.640
and said, you know, my doctor, I asked my doctor to respect my heeperite, so this was a woman,

05:49.000 --> 05:53.480
and she wanted to discuss something with her doctor and she didn't address other

05:54.840 --> 06:01.080
technologies, and she said, I want, you know, encryption and privacy before I start talking to you,

06:01.640 --> 06:10.280
the other thing is, you know, fire follow me, you know, people said, you know, I have a lot of friends,

06:11.000 --> 06:18.120
and they obviously like me, so I will, you know, tell them, I'm on this application, come and follow me,

06:18.520 --> 06:25.240
I try this, no one follows me, so this is, you know, it doesn't speak to quality of my friends,

06:26.200 --> 06:30.200
there is another one that said, you know, I said this, what's our business responder

06:30.760 --> 06:38.680
that I moved to another application, and anyone that writes me, the last feedback is from an artist,

06:38.680 --> 06:44.440
and he is doing most of his business through this application, and they moved to the other one.

06:46.680 --> 06:52.520
A lot of other resources, but, you know, some of this is a really nice,

06:52.920 --> 07:00.120
I think the key is just to make the best service, so it's really that privacy and security,

07:00.680 --> 07:07.800
it's not the selling point for us, but when I go to the most of the websites of those applications,

07:08.600 --> 07:18.120
the first message I get, encryption, privacy, blah, blah, blah, so I think that's the first

07:18.120 --> 07:25.000
problem that I see, is that we need to go and find another language on which we can present our

07:26.120 --> 07:34.360
our work, so the second one is, yeah, you can see that they use this specific software, which is,

07:34.360 --> 07:39.480
you know, present here as well, not because it's free and open source, but because they

07:39.480 --> 07:45.880
this specific software serves a problem that they have, they don't care whether it's free software

07:45.880 --> 07:55.000
or not, that's extra value, so if one of our products or ideas can save a problem, it doesn't matter

07:55.000 --> 08:02.200
whether it's privacy or encryption, you know, mention this will work, what else do I have?

08:03.240 --> 08:09.960
Yeah, people still, where the friends are, this one is really interesting, it's that I use

08:10.920 --> 08:17.560
this kind of server, I think, and when they had a problem, most of the communication went through

08:18.520 --> 08:26.280
certain application, so this was another way on how to get a good amount of people to my

08:26.280 --> 08:33.320
right on our solution as a banker. But you see, the main reason behind every switch was not the

08:33.320 --> 08:40.760
better privacy, you know, but the product, so features that some of the main strips alternative,

08:40.760 --> 08:49.720
alternatives they don't have, and this is someone comparing, I'll say, WhatsApp with Delta Chat,

08:50.440 --> 08:55.960
so he said, most of my people don't like WhatsApp, they like Delta Chat because, you know,

08:55.960 --> 09:02.120
there are some interesting items there and better groups, so this is one way how to do that.

09:03.640 --> 09:13.080
There is more, another one, they don't like a few more left, it's using, you know, the kids,

09:14.360 --> 09:21.400
you know, in a good way of course, so they don't need to have a phone number in order to use this app,

09:22.920 --> 09:32.760
it's a really interesting study, there is, I think, not on this slide, but on the other one,

09:32.920 --> 09:38.760
it's, you know, again, using your use case that you have even, you know, it's for kids,

09:39.960 --> 09:48.040
you can move people by using, you know, their way of thinking, I think it's a one, just yes,

09:48.440 --> 09:55.240
okay, I didn't have that one, sorry, I said, on strict truth. The other results is this application

09:55.240 --> 10:01.240
was really used or useful in my friends, we were in the until government of protest in Sofia,

10:01.320 --> 10:07.480
because it worked offline and without the need to sell connectivity, so this is one use case as well.

10:08.600 --> 10:16.920
Now, there is another, from the Fedivers, asking, you know, what is the reason,

10:16.920 --> 10:25.240
the obstacle on, you know, moving this to, asking people to move to alternative, so you can see that

10:26.200 --> 10:33.720
there is something, like the barrier of the adoption is, you know, people don't know how to do that,

10:34.840 --> 10:41.240
or they have lack of something else, which they're really used to that. There are three more from

10:41.240 --> 10:50.200
the chat, same majority, you know, they, how they give examples and you can read this in the slides

10:50.440 --> 10:57.880
after that, how to convince people and why they did that with their friends and, you know,

10:57.880 --> 11:07.240
on a certain level of success. So since we don't have a lot of time, there are few ideas I would like

11:07.240 --> 11:12.120
to ask you to think about when you're thinking to your next decision or moving forward with your

11:12.120 --> 11:19.800
own product or the feature, you see if it, it says if it feels radical, people won't trust it.

11:19.800 --> 11:24.600
This is really nice because when I go and talk to some friends that I have from, you know,

11:24.600 --> 11:32.680
anarchist community, they are like, go like, very radical, hard, you know, we have to, you know,

11:32.680 --> 11:39.720
make them, so people won't trust that, at least for now. So it needs to be something that the

11:39.720 --> 11:47.720
people can trust to turn the messaging towards the people. I think our success is the adoption.

11:49.080 --> 11:55.400
What is the value for people and how often they use it? Because even if you have great technology

11:55.400 --> 12:01.880
and no one uses it, real failing, user experience must feel like something they already, you know,

12:02.840 --> 12:10.200
we don't have to, you know, boost or, you know, promote new ideology, as it said,

12:10.200 --> 12:20.920
without the convenience of a really usable way of fusing it. And there are, you know, more ideas on

12:20.920 --> 12:31.000
how to do that. And, you know, the idea is to try to pick one group, for example, people that are

12:31.000 --> 12:38.360
in, you know, universities, students, young people, try to, you know, reach out to them, see how they

12:38.360 --> 12:43.560
can, you know, get your product, what they, but they know and understand about it, to convince them

12:43.560 --> 12:47.960
slowly to do that. And then use the learnings to do something else, like in scaling.

12:49.800 --> 12:56.840
So if you need to remember one thing from all of my blabbing today, if there is no user,

12:56.920 --> 13:04.600
there is no decentralization. That's it. And yeah, if you want to continue the conversations,

13:04.600 --> 13:15.000
because, you know, we don't have time. Those are my contacts, yeah, I'm cool. So please reach out

13:15.000 --> 13:20.200
and let's continue talking. And thank you for spending the day today. I don't know if you

13:20.280 --> 13:26.920
are going to say something more. But yeah, I really appreciate your coming here and listening

13:26.920 --> 13:37.480
even to me. Thank you very much.
