The HydraVeil Project welcomes your input
Simplified Privacy & the HydraVeil project accepts open source contributions from the community.
Benefits to You
Resume Builder
Our project is a leader in innovation for the security, privacy, networking, and cryptography fields. It would make a great point on your resume to be part of something making an impact in the end-users’ lives. You’d be listed as an author in the “about us” section of the website. And a PGP public key could be used for your privacy. And it could lead to better roles throughout your career.
Projects matter for careers
According to polls in Fortune magazine, it was side-projects that made the biggest impact for breaking into computer science careers. More than even traditional college degrees.
When asked which signals matter most outside the interview process, engineering leaders indicated proof of real-world skills matter far more than formal credentials. Side projects or portfolios topped the list, cited by 38% of respondents, followed by internship experience (35%), and public code portfolios like GitHub (34%).
Traditional markers of achievement, by contrast, carried far less weight. Just 4% of leaders said credentialing programs were a top influence in hiring decisions, while only 23% cited a candidate degree or academic focus and 17% pointed to school prestige.
Keep Your Privacy
So if you want to commit code and be identified on our website by a PGP public key or Nostr key, you can. And then put it on your resume as you see fit.
Be Heard
We value out-of-the-box thinking, and if you come to us with great ideas, we’ll judge it based on it’s merit. And not on who the speaker is.
Cryptocurrency Revenue
–Developers to take on a role with contributing can/should self-host a HydraVeil node. This would directly lead to a cryptocurrency revenue stream.
–Self-hosting a node allows you to take part financially in the benefits of the project, but mathematically prove that you’re remaining independent, as part of a decentralized system.
Parallel Economy
Traditional job markets such as on LinkedIn abuse the user’s privacy by selling their data openly. While as the Simplified Privacy community welcomes pseudo-anonymous contributions, and you can be paid in your favorite cryptocurrency.
Help Linux
Linux and even desktop apps, are often neglected in commercial software development. By taking part in an innovative Linux-first project, you help make it easier for users to use Linux as a daily driver.
Small & Fast Contributions Welcome
We have low barriers to entry, and you can get started in 5 minutes. We welcome very small pull requests, and our team has a rapid response time via supported contact methods.
We’re Looking For:
–Security code reviews
–Python developers to improve upon existing features
