In a future update of Telegram, the translator will be improved. Now translations will be local (i.e. work without the Internet).

Помню где-то в тгбета видел как разработчики обсирали расшифровку голосовых в Вацап, потому что там нужно было скачать языковую модель.

А теперь сами похожее пилят по приказу паши

вот такая же хуйня но подарок с тонами

@sticker_bot [1] just violated Telegram’s rule of using only Telegram Stars as the only payment method.
Still not restricted.

Major wins?

Pavel Durov just mistaken in his latest post on the Russian channel — but that’s not a big deal.

This article by SOTA — mentioned by Pavel Durov — reads like it was «bought». Why? Several reasons:
1. Elies Campo actually worked at Telegram in leadership positions within Partnerships and Business Development, not merely as a volunteer.
2. Vladimir Vedeneev both formally and factually served as Telegram’s Chief Financial Officer, with full authority — he wasn’t a «technical» participant without obligations.
3. Using temporary auth keys is a brand-new 2023 feature in MTProto.

Below is a detailed breakdown:


1. Role of Elies Campo at Telegram

1.1. Positions and Experience
— Director of Partnerships and Business Development at Telegram, where he managed key partnerships and expansion into new markets Techsylvania 2018.
— Confirmed on LinkedIn and on X as «Formerly Growth, Business & Partnerships @Telegram».

1.2. Appearances and Interviews
— Spoke on behalf of Telegram at events such as Techsylvania 2018.
— Cited in Wired as a Telegram business-development manager involved in company decision-making.

1.3. Counterargument to SOTA’s Claim
— SOTA: «…he was just a volunteer, got a temporary e-mail and never received any pay.»

Critique:
1. For a key employee at an international messenger, a temporary corporate e-mail can be part of standard internal address management — no formal employment contract is required under Telegram’s «no LinkedIn» policy.
2. Documented proof of Campo's authority exists — he responded to incoming messages sent to [email protected], confirming real decision-making power (or Durov is so dumb to give a «volunteer» such power?).


2. Status of Vladimir Vedeneev at Telegram

2.1. Evidence from Legal Documents
Contract signed by Vedeneev twice: once as CEO of GNM and once as CFO of Telegram.
Power of attorney: he held a POA to sign documents on behalf of Pavel Durov and Telegram.

2.2. Counterargument to SOTA’s Claim
SOTA: «…the position doesn’t appear in company reports, so it doesn’t obligate him to anything.»

Critique:
1. Official financial statements often omit "external" or non-staff roles, but a power of attorney conveys full legal authority regardless of salary payments.
2. Continuously carrying out CFO duties — signing contracts, managing finances — creates binding obligations even without a formal payroll entry.


3. Temporary Authentication Keys

3.1. Practice of «Temporary» Keys
— MTProto initially generates and stores temp_auth_key_id in the client storage, but it «was not used before 2023». Clients released earlier than 2023 did not have this functionality. And what SOTA attached as a screenshot of the Telegram source code has no connection to the source code of the Telegram servers, because it is not the source code of the main Telegram servers.

3.2. Counterargument to SOTA’s Claim
SOTA: «... since 2023, the messenger has implemented automatic periodic updating of auth_key_id, which makes it impossible to track a specific device for a long time, even with theoretical control of the transmission channel.»

Critique:
1. For older clients, keys are managed at the MTProto protocol level using static auth_key_ids, rather than through temporary temp_auth_key_ids.


Conclusion
The «Important Stories» article cherry-picks or misinterprets key facts — Campo’s employment, Vedeneev’s CFO role, MTProto technical details, and corporate sale structures. Independent sources (BBC, Wired, OCCRP, Moscow Times, IStories, StackOverflow) show that SOTA’s conclusions need substantial correction and richer context.

Мы затрудняемся оценить подобную вероятность в процентах, но опыт показывает, что сверхсложные тайные планы заговоров международного масштаба обычно служат доказательством не коварства их участников, а нездоровья их авторов.

For some reason, the "discussions" button didn't appear. Welcome to the discussions under this post.

On the Telegram test server, I noticed that the price of gifts decreases over time — from high to low. It’s likely that Telegram is testing a new feature with changing gift prices, similar to how gift enhancements worked before.
So, Telegram will release a gift at a high price, and every hour that price will decrease.
