yeah this is a solid stack. kinda surprised no one's bundled this up yet into a plug-and-play AI agent starter kit. feels like the kind of thing that should already exist tbh.

Sure

Sorry you felt that way. We've optimized the scrolling behavior and reduced the delay - it should feel much smoother and faster now.

Yup, exactly the problem, looking for solutions.

We've added a page to explain "What are Security Factors?" https://www.cipherwill.com/how-factors-work

will definitely fix this

understand the skepticism and will figure out concerns as we continue to improve

honestly don't know yet but we will add way to verify it on chain for sure

Only the people who you've added in your beneficiaries can decrypt the data if Cipherwill is hacked.

All data is stored in the encrypted form in frankfurt as the cloud provider is from EU. We also use vercel to deliver client code.

I completely understand — building trust is key, and we’re working on adding transparency through decentralization and exploring open-sourcing to give users more control over their data.

we'll notify your beneficiaries and ensure that your data is accessed by them. We employ homomorphic encryption in cases where beneficiaries choose to switch/update/upgrade existing factors without notifying data owner.

We'll be adding pages for live monitoring that display decentralized storage usage and access details very soon

We’re committed to transparency and are exploring ways to improve our documentation, including our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Your input is valuable, and we’ll take it into account as we develop the platform further.

If Cipherwill goes out of business, we'll make sure to share your data with you so you won't be stuck without a solution. Plus, Cipherwill's data is hosted on blockchain, which helps ensure we won't go out of service.

Private keys are generated locally from your security factors during setup. We’ll ensure the "How It Works" section is more detailed and add pages for live monitoring that display decentralized storage usage and access details.

We’re exploring the possibility of releasing some source code, but we’re not sure how that will fit into our overall development strategy. Transparency and trust are important to us, and we’ll keep your suggestions in mind as we move forward.

"strict protocols" refer to our will execution schedule, which ensures that the keys are only accessible after the switch is triggered. Even if someone were to hack the system and access the keys before execution, only the designated beneficiaries would have the ability to decrypt the data.

I understand your point — traditional wills are essential for physical assets. However, Cipherwill specifically addresses the complexities of digital assets (crypto and other data) which aren't always covered by standard wills. It provides a secure way to manage online accounts and sensitive data. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your feedback! Here’s a quick response to your concerns:

1. Private Key Storage: Private keys are derived locally from your security factors when you set up them.

2. Time Capsule Keys: The release of "time capsule" keys is governed by strict protocols, ensuring they’re only accessible at the specified time.

3. AES Encryption: We use AES-256, not 512, will fix that typo.

4. End-to-End Encryption: yes, End-to-end encryption requires both you and your beneficiaries to enable security factors.

We’ll definitely consider adding more to the FAQ to address any uncertainties as our long-term vision develops. Thanks for feedback.

That sounds interesting! While Cipherwill focuses on strong encryption, secure data handling, and a user-friendly experience. Thanks for sharing!

you can check on https://www.cipherwill.com/how-it-works just select "I understand how encryption works"

totally understand your concerns, especially with your solid setup using Yubikeys and sops. We're actually adding Yubikey support for end-to-end encryption too, focusing on good UX without sacrificing security. Plus, we're using homomorphic encryption, so your data stays secure while you're alive, so family members could not empty you're wallets. Appreciate your feedback!

Cipherwill’s encryption is designed so that even if someone hacks the platform, they can’t access anyone’s data. The encryption keys are split between the user and their beneficiaries, and no one — including us — can access the data without the owner’s consent or passing. So, even if you're a beneficiary, you can’t get Jane Doe’s data while she’s alive.

I totally get that dilemma! It’s hard to commit without knowing if a service will be around long-term. Cipherwill is dedicated to the long haul and is also hosted on decentralized blockchain storage for added security and longevity.

Hey, I totally get your concerns — trust is crucial with personal data. It's awesome, you've built your own dead man's switch on GitHub! Our encryption means we can’t access your info — it’s yours and your beneficiaries’. But if your setup works for you, that’s great. Thanks for sharing!

Cipherwill is an automated and end-to-end encrypted digital will platform
