I don't believe that marketing like that is the right thing to do. I want to help people be more secure, not just feel more secure through some snake oil security software. Because of that, we (in TokTok) have so far avoided any ma

Some background: TokTok was started a year ago and inherited the core code from Tox with the intention to take the project to the place it claims to be in. TokTok is not equal to Tox, and we have no control over what the Tox project present

Yeah, I can understand that reaction. When I started on Tox, I had a similar reaction. It was a project whose code base was only understood by a single person. The current specification is something irungentoo and I worked on to try and doc

We are doing exactly that: we are improving the current core and at the same time modelling the behaviour in Haskell. The Haskell version does not do networking and only represents an executable model of the environment. We use that to test

This is a much wanted feature, and I have long term plans to solve this issue together with a lot of other issues using a distributed data store (file system, database, whatever you want to call it). See https://toktok.github.io&

The preliminary plan is to deliver a high quality implementation of the Tox protocol and then deliver a high quality client. I personally don't have time to do both, and the team has very limited resources. The most actively develope

Regarding security audit: my day job is developing high security software. I could do a formal audit, and it would take about 2-3 person-weeks, and be completely useless, because it would result in a huge number of trivial issues that need

That works with UDP hole punching ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDP_hole_punching ), and there is a branch with uPNP ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play ) support. We still need

We're in the process of writing a specification ( https://github.com/TokTok/spec ) and new implementation in Haskell ( https://github.com/TokTok/hs-toxcore ). There is also a Rust implementation
