That said, that's just a guess.

If there are logs to be kept to begin with, I'd be very skeptical about any "anonymous" and "secure" claims. If it requires trust, then it isn't.
ZRTP and the sign-up process means it will be hard to connect the little metadata they have, so they've narrowed down the amount they're trusted with by a large margin

#25Anonymity is quite the growing market segment. And the NSA is as unpopular as ever. It's fascinating how the public responds to the government.

#26Site seems dead. Is it free software? What differentiates it from Signal/TS?

Is that true? I hear bitcoin is gaining market share, and it is the antithesis of anonymity.

Every computer has logs. If you interact with a server, you can't avoid it. Until we have decentralized apps, trust on this is unavoidable.

At best, it's pseudonymous.

#29"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." I used to use this quote all the time too...until I realized it originally meant something entirely different. http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/14/how-the-world-butchered-ben...
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.
"In short, Franklin was not describing some tension between government power and individual liberty. He was describing, rather, effective self-government in the service of security as the very liberty it would be contemptible to trade. Notwithstanding the way the quotation has come down to us, Franklin saw the liberty and security interests of Pennsylvanians as aligned."
