We documented this here: https://audiusproject.github.io/hedgehog-docs/#security-cons... This is why we recommend that you audit all 3rd-party Javascript in your app for accesses t…

Sorry to hear that - I've had good experiences in the past at Hackathons and other developer-focused events rather than general "crypto" or "blockchain" events. Good luck!

Hi there! Unfortunately I haven't found any high-quality online communities of crypto builders - most of my connections to other folks building are offline / irl. Would encourage y…

Yes - their work on key exchange is super cool https://keybase.io/docs/crypto/key-exchange We did not want to require use of Keybase to use our dapp Audius, though I could see it m…

Very similar from a meta-transaction standpoint, but ours is simple and centralized (albeit trustless due to the tx signing model). This is much cooler!

Probably late summer / early Fall! Want to make sure the developer experience is high-quality at time of open-sourcing, but we're testing now / onboarding artists in a private beta…

True - was answering the general case of password change, eg. some folks like to rotate passwords every so often in the absence of a known leak or breach. In the case of a compromi…

Very cool! Let us know if there's any way we can help

We haven't seen that before, looks cool! The approach may be similar, but we packaged Hedgehog as a standalone / documented library to be consumed directly by developers. In lookin…

Right now Hedgehog is specific to the Ethereum account model (eg. POA network and others use this too), but there's no reason the approach couldn't be extended to work with other c…

Great question - see my response to "atomical" in this thread for more detail, but short answer is no. Thanks for checking out Hedgehog!

Thanks for checking out Hedgehog! This was documented only indirectly - we should add a specific note / example for this. The model here is that the ethereumjs-wallet object return…

You can! This would re-encrypt your locally decrypted wallet seed using the new credential and store it under the newly generated lookup key

There has! This could be a great approach - eg. a network of folks committed to supporting users in this manner could operate IPFS nodes that re-pin the encrypted keys. We are also…

The existing issues with ETH are why we currently use POA network for the Audius private beta. POA network has its own set of issues, but the 1) fast transaction confirmation time,…

Thanks for checking out Hedgehog! There is not - this is the biggest deficiency of Hedgehog today. Without centralized custody of keys, it's not possible to have someone prove thei…

Hey all - I'm Roneil, one of the cofounders of Audius. We built Hedgehog to solve a specific pain point we faced - how can we get non crypto-native / non-technical users to sign up…
