    But then, the biggest criticisms for it would come from a dude or two who insists it has been corrupted by the Russian developers, whose bloodline runs as red as communism itself… Just the dumbest criticism imaginable.

    I’m open to criticism, and I posted a couple here. Heck, here’s one more:

    Because a single entity runs all the relays, it could in theory hold on to all the messages based on sender IP address, while appearing to not be a honeypot.

    (This could also hold true for Signal, BTW.)

      I thought you could run your own relay?

      It’s been probably a year since I chatted with the devs (did some testing with a few devices I have sitting around). Biggest issue I had was it required a current version of Android, as I thought it would great to be able to run it on older devices.

        You can, but I’m not aware of any official implementation of third party relays, or any third-party relays in general.

        I’d be happy to get proven wrong, though… and considering what they have implemented: decent encryption, anonymity, etc, they’re doing pretty well regardless.
