Hi,
SimpleX github conversations closed ??
I wanted to post this as a conversation then convert into an issues on github but it seem the github conversation of this project are closed... (we can't create new one) Do you know why ?
I've installed simpleX onfez android phones. it work smoothly.
but for one of those phone (Android 14) the messages are only received and send when I restart the apps then no more.
in Your settings\settings\Network & servers\network connection
The WiFi dot is red !
Any ideas ?
Thanks.
Thank you @Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de ! it works !
Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) RSA and RSA (default)
(2) DSA and Elgamal
(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)
(7) DSA (set your own capabilities)
(8) RSA (set your own capabilities)
(9) ECC and ECC
(10) ECC (sign only)
(11) ECC (set your own capabilities)
(13) Existing key
(14) Existing key from card\
I'm wondering whats is the option: (9) ECC and ECC ?? I found nothing in their documentation :/
To the developer working on SimpleX,
Why are you still using Microsoft Github ? (and by extend Reddit ! )
I had myself a question for the maintainers. I was planning to use the discussions and to do so, create an account :'( But it seem that Microsoft really doesn't like Tor:
Cheers.
I couldn't have said it better !
I've did some more digging.
and Briar still remain better at security level !
The big downside of SimpleX is that it's not P2P and IP correlation by watching your traffic is possible.
SimpleX recommend to use Tor on top of it with for example Orbot. That's a good idea, but not the best to convince none-tech folks to adopt it. (it's already so hard to change peoples habit... ) Tor should be embedded.
As soon Tor is embedded I will migrate to it. SimpleX have nice thought features and it's easy to use.
Thank you very much @jet@hackertalks.com & @Quexotic@beehaw.org
The EFF article is really interesting for everyone. ( I was aware of this )
Indeed no one should assume that his packets are not intercepted along the road. But conceive an software that on top of that, specifically route the traffic trough his server not make it better (on the opposite in my opinion)
Even if the owner of those server do not process the data... ( This is relying on blind trust) those servers might be breached. (in addition to the systemic data recording, like in the EFF article )
Let put it simple, is SimpleX offer on the actual Internet (can't wait the next gen, GNUnet or anything similar) a similar level of Trust & privacy than Briar ?
A little update.
I've just tested simplex on Android.
it's very well thought out ! The features make sense. UNFORTUNATELY it's not P2P ! all the messages pass by their servers :'( with Briar it's P2P.... weirdly they claim their way is better than P2P ! any comment on that ?
In my point of view, if messages are stored somewhere it's mean the can be process[^1] !
Cheers.

I think your mistaken... Can someone confirm ?
So I was eager to test Jami, but on Windows it require Windows 10.. so no way --> https://itvision.altervista.org/why-windows-10-sucks.html
anyway I gave a quick try on a test machine (win10) But I got , not matter what I entered
Too bad because it had on paper, a lot of nice features..
On linux, too bad they don't provide (yet) an AppImage...
no ! thanks ! look promising too.
I'll try it and give my review... but is it require to make a "jami" account on their server !??
Thanks for the sharing @skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl
I've check
VeilidChatfor the moment indeed it is just a network framework... so no apps ready yet (unless I'm mistaken )The negative point is that the developer use exclusively google tech for it !! ( Dart, flutter )
So why peoples that want to fight for freedom use the Sauron tool !? it baffle me...
