The real problem with all of these oh-so-secure-much-better-alternative-chat-apps is that nobody uses them. What's a communication network when there are no communicators? Just a network.
Unless X or Y gets better traction than WhatsApp, you will just be "that guy" who refuses to use WhatsApp and is instead on some novelty app nobody else uses. Though tinfoil insults are passé, they will bring them back just for you.
- chadillac 13y agoReally makes me wonder why some of these existing clients don't just implement the OTR stuff that is already pretty standardized on desktop clients. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-Record_Messaging http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-Record_Messaging edit: looks like Xabber and ChatSecure both support it on Android.

Because OTR appends the key for the next message on every single message, so if A is sending several messages after each other while B is offline all of them will be encrypted with the same key. TextSecure fixed both of these issues but is otherwise based on OTR. You should really look into it.
