Hey everyone, I’ve just released SecureBit Chat v4.3.120, a fully serverless, peer-to-peer encrypted messenger — no servers, no metadata, no central authority. It uses ECDH + AES-256-GCM + DTLS + SAS for end-to-end encryption and supports binary connection exchange, QR-based pairing, and full offline operation.

Why not follow up on the feedback you received last time you submitted this before submitting again? It's not really honest to advertise as "zero-server architure" when you have google ICE/STUN servers hardcoded. https://github.com/SecureBitChat/securebit-chat/blob/60db79d2ae24ec07e64eb212cf24b4b0c61b85e6/src/network/EnhancedSecureWebRTCManager.js#L7065 https://github.com/SecureBitChat/securebit-chat/blob/60db79d... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45400318 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45400318 Also your code doesn't build because of missing sources for session/PayPerSessionManager.js (???) https://github.com/SecureBitChat/securebit-chat/blob/75fa1cd27dc4ba42b36fb158b7a839aab195b471/src/scripts/bootstrap-modules.js#L9 https://github.com/SecureBitChat/securebit-chat/blob/75fa1cd...

  lol. The cyrillic comments are just cherry on top. Or is it cherry on slop? https://github.com/SecureBitChat/securebit-chat/blob/804b384271b8be4bbd9488fa3f2d8a4ff43fee70/src/session/PayPerSessionManager.js#L38 https://github.com/SecureBitChat/securebit-chat/blob/804b384... https://github.com/SecureBitChat/securebit-chat/blob/804b384271b8be4bbd9488fa3f2d8a4ff43fee70/src/token-auth/config.js#L166 https://github.com/SecureBitChat/securebit-chat/blob/804b384...

    I stopped charging for sessions and switched the entire system to a free mode with all the chat features. Everything that had been implemented previously was clearly described in the documentation.

  Sorry, I'm not familiar with this site's service and didn't know how to reply to comments. I'll be more careful about this now, as it's important. I implemented payment litigation in the first versions, but later abandoned it because it reduced the number of users who could use the chat.
