A lot of haters in this thread. To be expected.
I've been following this space for a while and telegram is the best app out there right now. The usability is great and they are trying to do the right things when it comes to security.
The apps are open source and can be audited. I fully expect there to be bugs, that is part of the process! You would be insane to trust your life to a crypto app thats been around a few months. So yes, there will be bugs. But that doesn't mean they should just give up. In a few years this could turn into a really nice , secure app.
I think their big competition will be: Textsecure, also a great app and better for security due to OTR. But the iphone app is still in development as is their data channel. Once those are complete, they could take the #1 spot.
Also, hemlis is one to look out for. But they take about the same security approach as telegram but seem to be less open so far.
- salient 13y agoThey are making a lot of bogus claims using marketing speak, and they are very low on details, while saying the app will be opensourced "eventually". For a "security" app, hell yeah you should be skeptical. Right now I think the most interesting and most trustworthy secure messaging projects are TextSecure v2 and Dark Mail (granted, that one isn't even out yet, their ideas so far sounded quite good).

- Confusion 13y agoThe point of most 'haters' is that trying to do the right thing isn't good enough.
