- lmm 11y agoI searched for axolotl and got some cute pictures but not much information. Why this thing rather than OTR?
- Arathorn 11y agoOTR has some major shortcomings - in the classic implementation, it doesn't do group chat and it requires both parties to be online at the same time to synchronise the cryptographic ratchet. The best explanation of why Axolotl is better is https://whispersystems.org/blog/advanced-ratcheting https://whispersystems.org/blog/advanced-ratcheting - or if you prefer a more comprehensive spec, we've published one at https://matrix.org/docs/spec/olm.html https://matrix.org/docs/spec/olm.html. Anyone wanting to know more about Olm & Matrix's Axolotl support might be interested to flip to the end of https://matrix.org/~matthew/2015-06-26%20Matrix%20Jardin%20Entropique.pdf https://matrix.org/~matthew/2015-06-26%20Matrix%20Jardin%20E...
