#6Please forgive my ignorance, but it talks a lot about peer-to-peer conversations - how would that work if the peers are behind NATs or Proxies?

Signal still relies on Google Play Services, which is an issue for many people (see GitHub issue #127, #1000, #1106, #5450 etc....)

I was mad disappointed by signal. Not only does it require google play services, it also asks for about two dozen privileges on your phone. Not a great look for a privacy oriented app.

#10from the FAQ:
"How do I add someone to my contacts list?
Look in the profile or settings panel of your client to get your Tox ID which should look something like:
56A1ADE4B65B86BCD51CC73E2CD4E542179F47959FE3E0E21B4B0ACDADE51855D34D34D37CB5"
Yuk! I see this flaw so many products like this, just about anything p2p, blockchain addresses, commit ids, etc. I think there is zero chance of getting anyone who is not technology elite to adopt a product with UX that rotates around these untypeable/unpronounceable/immemorable identifiers. Why aren't Identicons(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identicon) or QR codes used more?
