With Tox I cannot share an account between multiple devices - or that is I cannot switch seamlessly between PC and phone. That is dumb and I don't want that.

  It's a cost you pay for true decentralization. Otherwise your devices would have to authorize each other, which is even dumber. >I don't want that. That's the point, you prefer benefits of centralization.

      Because if one device gets compromised, you want to regain control of your identity and deny access from compromised device. Also you want to prevent the hacker from doing the same. We have not yet invented a way to do it without central authority, which is also acceptable in terms of usability.

        So say I use this on my phone, and someone steals my phone, my "identity" is compromised anyway. I have to create a new Identity anyway. User experience of sending everything to someone N times over is not acceptable either. If I want to talk to someone I don't want to have to send a message to each of their devices.
