#13"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

#14Site seems dead. Is it free software? What differentiates it from Signal/TS?
* It is free software, or rather, the client they recommend is Linphone, an existing open-source VoIP client. * Specifically, the value add is an introduction/routing layer over SIP. They recommend connecting via Tor. * The encryption is stock ZRTP. In comparison, Signal/TS is free software, but uses novel crypto for text messages. I believe RedPhone/Signal voice is still just ZRTP. RedPhone/Signal will convert the S…
Redphone/Signal has its own signaling protocol for voice calls as well. This service uses SIP. The Redphone protocol is simple in design, while SIP is the opposite.

Peanut gallery here: It's just a service that will work with most any SIP client app that supports ZRTP -- csipsimple, linphone, etc :)

I don't see how it means something entirely different. At most, Franklin and the other founding fathers had a more expansive notion of liberty than is now common. Both the sanctity of private property and the right to privacy are aspects of that sort of liberty.

#19> A:During the beta period logs are kept for 24 hours, once beta is complete there will be no call log records.
Is there a particular reason to do so during their beta?

#20Anonymity is quite the growing market segment. And the NSA is as unpopular as ever.
It's fascinating how the public responds to the government.
