One of the caveats of the current setup is that the notes themselves are stored in clear on IPFS. This means that someone could obviously fork this and by-pass the lock mechanism.

It is ok for a MVP, but we will need to provide a much better approach very soon. For this, we will explore proxy-re-encryption with the goal of using ownership of a key to the lock to re-encrypt content which was previously encrypted when saved.

We should look at https://github.com/nucypher and more specifically at https://github.com/johngrantuk/thisfeedisalwaysforsale

Maybe @johngrantuk might be interested in helping out!

Hey @julien51. I really enjoyed that project and found the proxy-rencryption part very interesting. I'd love to help out but I see you guys are shipping pretty fast and I don't have a great deal of spare time at the moment.
