Yo can I get a copy of the Apps source code?
Open Whisper Systems source is GPLv3.
- th0br0 10y agoSearching for 'whisper' on the page lead me to https://github.com/tokenbrowser https://github.com/tokenbrowser
- zeveb 10y agoImagine, if Signal supported federation then Signal users could talk to Token users!
- jrs95 10y agoThere's a link to the source in the article.
- leshow 10y agoHow is whatsapp using it then?
- distances 10y agoWhatsApp contracted the Whisper folks to implement the protocol. It's not using Signal libraries directly.
- r3bl 10y agoBy running its own network, based on Signal's protocol. Same thing goes with "private conversations" in Facebook's Messenger, or whatever it's called. It's all the same protocol, but three different networks running that protocol. You can't communicate between these networks, and you'll need three accounts in order to communicate to people using these networks. In fact, Whisper Systems has actively killed every third party app that tried plugging into Signal's network. While there's nothing stopping you from making a client, expect a lot of hostility from them if you decide to do so.
