#4I'm very intrigued by Bleep, I think that attempting to leverage the bitorrent protocol in a chat platform is a unique take, that I would like to see continue to evolve.
However, I think it's important that they open the source up for this project and even potentially offer the ability for me to install and run my own server. I think until they take those steps, it will be difficult for them to gain any kind of large following.

There was some concern about the security of the product:

These concerns were amplified by the difficulty of auditing a closed-source product. Their argument that hashes are one-time secrets and not permanent keys is difficult to validate without access to the source.

#6I don't trust anything released by BitTorrent. Sync was a huge let down and frankly I'm not going to waste my time on any more of their software after the ad/toolbar/bitcoin-mining infested installers they put out for uTorrent...

It would be nice to have a simple user-tag and official-tag customizable field for tagging related research and development patterns.
Every time a closed source nightmare reoccurs, we can just let newbies find the related open source alternative.

Unless they have published their source code (or at least a protocol spec), then I don't think there's much in the way of 'thoughts' to be had.

#10Why not use Kik? Its a more popular closed source messenger.
