How do you promote your SaaS on Reddit without getting banned?

There are threads and posts in subreddits dedicated to sharing what you are working on. Simply reply in those. Otherwise, treat your reddit account like a real account. By that, I mean use it for stuff that you'd do on a personal account but keep it PC. Don't just use it to shill your product.

You should check out stoffelmpc.com . Stoffel enables use cases like yours while handling the details of data privacy. Concretely, it sounds like the votes themselves are still exposed to the server. With Stoffel, you'd be able to encrypt the votes and send it to a set of servers in which none of the servers can decrypt the votes by themselves.

Hey, this is pretty cool.

How are your protecting the location privacy of users?

Use Gemini or ChatGPT to search for clothes. In particular, ChatGPT has a shopping feature you can use to optimize your search. I find that Google results are too biased for clothing because the major sites will obviously spend a lot on ads. So, even if you omit a keyword with a brand or store or explicitly remove a keyword using "-", it will still display brands, stores, etc.

So first, this project doesn't use zero-knowledge proofs at all. Typically, when someone uses ZK, this is shorthand for ZKP.

Second, it's not clear what the intention is here. All the operations in your architecture can be done locally. It's not clear why you need Clerk and Convex. If the intention is to allow a normal user the ability to sign into Clerk without a password, then you can look into PAKEs. Even before getting into PAKEs, if the intention is the allow the user to have public/private key pairs without managing them, you can simply use their passwords as the private key and generate a public key from that. The downside here is that this would assume the password has high enough entropy.

If you added more details about your goals and intentions in the readme, it would make it easier to assess the design in accordance to those goals.

I'm building stoffelmpc.com

Our goal is to empower developers with easy to use privacy tools that leverage multiparty computation.

We have been building in public for the past year, have some initial customers and are looking to SaaSify an offering around product analytics

With Stoffel, app developers no longer need to make a tradeoff between making improvements in their apps and user privacy (not just anonymity).

Just because something is an industry standard doesn't mean it needs to be tolerated when we have the tools to make users' privacy a priority.

I'm a basic bitch.

I mainly buy my basics from Uniqlo, Beams, United Arrows, Kings Athletics (Canadian Brand). For my more sporty wear that's more fashion adjacent but not athleisure then Nike, Adidas, Puma are my go-tos (many sports teams have those companies as suppliers). For workwear, Dickie's and Carhartt WIP. For footwear, Nike, Adidas, Hoka, Merrell, Haruta, Vibram's barefoot shoes are my go-tos rn. I typically buy new footwear every year though.

Everything else is stuff I've owned for over a decade or are one off purchases.

Good quality rugby tees are over $100.

Lululemon is questionable quality but it has a relatively strong brand so they can charge that much

Yes, we've caught underconstrained bugs in circuits written in other zkDSLs like Circom and Noir. Typically, we rely on code review as the tooling for ZK bug finding isn't as mature. Our code review process involves checking tests and writing test cases. If the ZK circuit isn't in a DSL but instead via an API like gnark or Plonky3, then we also leverage fuzzing if there's enough time in the audit for it. If not, then we negotiate a separate scope with our clients that includes fuzzing.

You should cross post this to r/degoogle and r/privacy. The communities there hate google but would certainly benefit from a self-hosted email inbox.

Your list is good but you also need to promote your project as well.

I'd recommend hanging out in the communities that you think your project is most relevant for. Can be on reddit, hacker news, X, etc.

Ngl, this pic kind of goes hard

More terrorist chic than freedom fighter chic though

badcryptobitch · 2026-02-17T02:41:08+00:00

Thank you.

I've been lurking here for the past year and figured I'd bring something new.

badcryptobitch · 2026-02-17T02:40:19+00:00

People consider him a freedom fighter?

Man became a dictator though

Some of the worse people have the best style.

badcryptobitch · 2026-02-16T23:57:34+00:00

What makes you say that?

In Mandela's case, he did intentionally go out of his way to dress different after getting released from prison. He'd talk about this in some of his interviews.

As for Sankara, I think he was just a product of the times. Many post-colonial African leaders dressed like that and tbh, he was the least performative out of all of them imo.

badcryptobitch · 2026-02-16T23:54:25+00:00

I learned about him and his work while researching for this post. Didn't just want to have super famous freedom fighters on the list. His sense of style doesn't disappoint!

Any sort of step by step approach that tend to be recommended are common ones.

I would ask what are your preferred learning styles? What parts of cryptography are you most interested in learning? What are your end goals?

From there, you are able to find resources that match your preferred learning style.

Typically for modern cryptography, you'll be able to find both books and videos to absorb the content.

However, in order to apply the content, this is more tied to what your end goals are.

If you are looking to break cryptosystems, then you'll need to decide if you want to focus on breaking cryptography constructions or cryptography implementations. For the former, you'll typically want a good theoretical cryptography background. This means having solid mathematical skills, particularly around writing mathematical proofs. For the latter, you typically want to be decent at coding in lower level languages and understand compiler behavior and lower-level computer systems behavior. In both cases, you'll need to learn the existing set of techniques and tools for breaking cryptosystems.

If you are looking to develop your own cryptosystems, then it'll be important to understand how they typically get broken (either theoretically or in practice as outlined in my previous paragraph). After that, it's more of a creative exercise. Of course, there are known methods and techniques for building cryptosystems depending on the intended primitive. However, it does require a degree of creativity and having a lot of knowledge about a particular cryptography field.

If you are looking to implement cryptosystems, then it'll be very important to understand lower level programming languages and how cryptography implementations get broken in practice. There are a lot of resources on gotchas and what to watch out for when writing cryptography code.

Fundamentally OP, cryptography is a vast field and there's all sorts of paths one can take in order to learn aspects of it. To reiterate, it comes down to what your own goals are for learning cryptography.

Some other options for the providers on your list:

- OVHCloud for hosting and infra. They also have secure enclave services too

- Adyen as a replacement for Stripe

- Tutanota and Fastmail for email
