Can Tox do persistent group text chats with offline message delivery to people when they sign in again? It's the one killer feature of Skype that keeps me on it. No open messaging programs ever support this it seems like.
My one experience with the Tox project was that I made a few (I thought) constructive suggestions. First, I suggested they use some form of static analysis or perhaps a 'safer' language to implement their core functionality - such as Rust or Go, instead of rather messy (at the time) C code. Furthermore, having spent a lot of time researching parsers and how parser differentials can affect the security of systems, I s…
I mean, can you be sure something is secure just because of the crypto lib?
I thought there had something to do with the implementation too?
I ask this because of Tox. The main developer claims Tox is secure because of the crypto library.
It sounds weird to me, so I decided to ask... After all, if it was this easy all programs would be secure, right? Just import a secure crypto lib and it's done? Sounds weird.

If you use a secure crypto primitive, is it correct to say your program is secure? I mean, can you be sure something is secure just because of the crypto lib?

Currently no, but there is a groupchat rewrite underway and that is one of the planned improvements.
I have to echo the parent though, getting history from the period you were disconnected is a killer feature of skype that seems to get little or no attention.
It is one of the major things that keeps some of my group chats on skype.

Why would the Top Foundation spend so much time making Tox? A secure, encrypted messenger.
There is only one reason!!!
