And btw Tor is 100% compliant with all laws - don't you know that? :) It's a US-based organization, with transparency and compliance.

You are just naive. Read the comment below - the main Tor's security assumption does not hold for years.

This is both incorrect and misleading. Application is designed to: - always choose server from configuration to deliver messages via, and not the destination server that is chosen by the recipient. The protocol is designed to provide packet

That is untrue. We do not plan any coins. We plain a private payment mechanism for the servers that will utilize blockchain for valid reasons - we call it Community Vouchers. But they are not coins, they are service credits that cannot be c

Either you didn't understand the design, or this is not genuine criticism. Every server that user connects to of course knows IP address of the user, be it Tor relay, VPN provider, Nym node, or SimpleX relay - the user chooses which se

That you don't like the design is well known. But this is not the reason to lie. You understand the design quite well, from our past conversations, you simply don't like the fact that we don't recognise user IP address as a p

You should understand that you cannot have the cake and eat it. The logic here is very simple: 1) Any scanning messages of children and their parents means providing access to them, effectively removing the protection provided by the encryp

Of course it stays encrypted - if it is sent e2e encrypted, it cannot be decrypted by the servers in the middle - it's the whole point of e2e encryption. The privacy policy is very explicit about it.

"Proposed", not "incoming". We will react appropriately IF it is passed and IF it applies to us. The UK as a jurisdiction has many advantages over alternatives.

Yes, we know that (I'm the founder). The large groups support is coming, currently the largest group I know of approaches 600 people and is not too usable. We've just released an experimental directory service for finding user gro

That's right. With the difference that you drop at one address, and another address has to be used for the pickup. Disclaimer: I'm the founder.

The difference is that general purpose programming languages usually provide full access to the host environment, they are not designed to be received from untrusted environments. You need to reduce what is allowed, and that is more likely

Thanks for all the comments, some are really useful. JSONScript is an interesting experiment and the time will show whether it's useful and whether we use it. What I find really interesting is why most higher level abstractions that re
