The website should be completely functional with JS disabled (and it is for me), what issues do you get? Note: I'm not in charge of the tox.im website, if it were up to me there would be no javascript at all.

Are group chats also encrypted? (The problem with jabber right now)
What makes the main developer, irungentoo, qualified to write the Tox core?
Starting a new, blue water distributed encryption system in a non-safe language is odd at this point. The protocol is being _noodled_ through and the code is in C. This is the coding style https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/commit/84c28337d248bad... this is openssl all over again https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/commit/1d6c3934736c369...
It's quite readable and has yet to tangle itself in the ifdef mess that is openssl.
I guess you've settled on a name, pretty completely, but tox evokes all sorts of bad feelings like "Toxin", "Detox" - generally feelings associated with the idea of poison or of poisoning yourself. From a marketing perspective this might not be the least sinister name you could have chosen. I realize this comes out of 4chan and we make a point of not giving a shit about marketing but...

C is far from a non-safe language; it's the language of choice for NASA systems that lives depend on after all. I'm not sure what you're trying to point out with those links. How is this related to openssl?
Because NASA has used C means this guy writes code for the shuttle? Read the code. Dig through the commit logs. This is the wrong choice on about every level. The best encryption won't save you when you have code like this. What did we not learn about OpenSSL?

But you don't have to actually know them. If they posted their Tox ID on 4chan, which happens all the time, and they accept my friend request, I would have their IP address, correct?
How else would you connect to them in decentralized fashion? Your IP address isn't really useful information anyway. Note that being friends in this context means the users have added each other.

No. They have to be friends with you.
