I love this. In your view, how would users go about securely swapping credentials ? PGP over email ?

Thanks! My realistic use case is that I am already speaking to someone who I know and trust, so ideally exchange credentials in person. A preferred out of band secure messanger of choice is probably fine.

    I have my wife's phone set up on autolisten running in the background, so I just pop in and ask how her days going and crack jokes.

      That's funny but it must absolutely drain the battery of her phone, no?

        So far it's lasted all week with maybe 10% -15% loss per day. It's not her main, actually just a old phone I had laying around. I think it's a pretty light background process.

You could put your onion address into an “oh by code”[1] and just write it down … or chalk it on the sidewalk for someone to see … post it on a physical bulletin board.. hold it up on a sign… This way you could establish communication with an unknown future party, totally offline.

  Trying to repurpose hex literal notation as a "recognizable" URL shortener seems like a questionable idea. At least write it as 0x.co/FFFF so it's obvious to readers how to interpret it. If you're printing something why not go with a QR code?

    If you can use a QR code you probably should. However, if you're walking down the street and need to quickly generate and apply a message, how will you pass along a QR code to an unknown future viewer ? Can you draw a QR code with chalk or freehand with a pen, etc. ? I will admit that the use-cases for "oh by codes" are weird and infrequent but I am convinced they will emerge ...

      I don't disagree that URL shortening is incredibly useful at times. Merely that writing out the whole url is almost certainly a better approach and that any sufficiently short domain name is fit for purpose.
