“Why create a hacker group just for 40 year olds?” - my brain.

It’s the famous Cult of the Dead Cow, BTW.

Holy molly. Maidsafe, now that's a name I haven't heard in ages. Lot's of cool and strong primitives and ideas they are building on.

Sounds great, but as far as I know Diffie–Hellman doesn't protect from MitM attack if there's no trusted party to prove the integrity of keys sent. I skimmed through the description but this seems not to touch on that theme. Maybe it's sharing public keys in person time again.

Honestly i’d like something that focuses on this rather than trying once again to be WhatsApp/telegram but secure

The police already can easily know my irl social circle but I still don’t want to let them know when and why I talk to them

Simplex was in a good direction then they took vc money while having startup status and they are aiming to replace other messengers

Are they going to rewrite Back Orifice in Rust? :-D

I would love to like this but it doesn't provide anything more secure than the apps out there that already have end to end encryption like Signal. It doesn't stop a govt storing the data to decrypt later. They broke TOR and they can break this too eventually.

It remove the central server, which is often the single point of failure. So even if it doesn't add more security than signal, it adds resilience. And this is not Tor in the way that its not a proxy, its a framework to build secure peer to peer applications.
