    Wow, I think this basically makes Session obsolete.

      SimpleX having PFS while Session not having it also seals the deal.

      agreed, i liked that session had out of the box alternative routing, but a basic vpn + simplex’s new private routing knocks down one of my final gripes with the app.

      although, i guess my only other gripe now is that using your simplex profile on both desktop and phone is either hard as shite or totally impossible.

        using your simplex profile on both desktop and phone

        Why would that be hard?

    Why is Simplex based. Damn this is cool.

    However, I do wish they would adopt a more decentralized approach like Jami and Briar. It is very hard to get right but it has so many benifits.

    You don’t think that XMPP clients are better, like conversations or others?

      XMPP as a protocol was great. But the problems the servers had, the mess is just a no go. SimpleX is far better in privacy and usability in my opinion. I doubt XMPP will recover anytime soon.

    Most important part of the blog post:

    We are planning a 3rd party security audit for the protocols and cryptography design in July 2024, and also the security audit for an implementation in December 2024/January 2025, and it would hugely help us if some part of this $50,000+ expense is covered with donations.
