Tox: secure messaging for everyone

It might be useful to mention more about how encryption is done on the website itself since that is the main selling point. As it stands I have to go through the source code.

Also might want to get a better server. I'm not trusting a messaging service whose marketing site I can't even reach.....

This has been a project on 4chan's /g/ board that began after Snowden's initial leak. Its good to see that this project has developed into something substantial.

Github maintained by someone with a troll username?

Comments like this:

> IMPORTANT: release two major sanctioned UIs, one for autists, one with inbuilt support for the previous list so that plebs can't get confused with setting it up and autists don't complain about it getting in their way. de geso > I would suggest a "Advanced options" where the autists can rejoice with all kinds of options (and it doesn't frighten the normalfags, since it's not shown by default). Also, 2 UIs would be chaos to maintain.

Talk about not needing to be an expert to use it, but then a "learn more" button sending people to github?

Not inspiring confidence so far.

It's nice to see they're using an existing crypto library. I'd be surprised if they haven't made errors implementing it.

Since you managed to kill the website:

Tox is a completely decentralized secure messaging service which aims to replace skype.

It it still in heavy development.

So far we have IM working almost perfectly but no completed GUI yet except for a basic ncurses interface used to test the core.
