First, I suspect this is a concern troll named WubTheCaptain (http://wubthecaptain.eu/ http://wubthecaptain.eu/), or a copycat of the concern trolling he originally did, that has hung around the tox threads because he craves attention and replies. But I'll reply to some of these even though I'm not a tox dev. 1. The logo was made, over many threads, by members of 4chan's /gd/ board for Project Tox to Do Whatever The Fuck You Want(tm) 7. A developer quit the project because she was harassed into quitting by another notorious troll, SaveTheInternet (the creator of an australian imageboard 4chon) and friends in the 4chon IRC. Basically, the arranagement at the time seemed to be quit and I take your dox down. As you can see, we have many problems with trolls, they're quite interesting creatures to harass a FOSS project like this for months on end but I suppose they redeem themselves in the entertainment value of how they bend over backwards for replies.

Basically, the arranagement at the time seemed to be quit and I take your dox down. Although there was doxing, the issues slvr highlighted were entirely valid. IIRC, slvr had raised these in a private mailing list and they were then leaked to the public, at which point doxing occurred.

  The concerns were public in IRC, github discussions and on the wiki, with a proposal to fix it: https://wiki.tox.im/Proposal:Slvr_Protocol_Rewrite https://wiki.tox.im/Proposal:Slvr_Protocol_Rewrite I did not imply that the issue raised was not valid, only that the pressure to quit was with troll(s) wielding dox and wub is being disingenuous like always with his concern trolling.

    Yeah, the proposed rewrite was public. A lot of slvr's more vocal criticism wasn't, though -- some private emails were leaked. But yeah, it was the doxing that made him quit. And that sucks.
