In need of chat platform name

What license will it be published with?

What logo will it have?

Will it be less shit than Tox?

>>52671010
Tox

>>52671010
Cuckoo

get it

>>52671040
We're not sure yet, we'll do a post on /g/ and reddit when it's out with all the info needed.

>>52671010
Signal

>>52671075
So what are main differences to existing alternatives?

It won't be P2P, it'll be centralized, we'll be making money from microservices on the side like encrypted data storage and some addons but mostly you guys will love it.
It has end to end encrypted private messages and group chat and public chats for official servers and whatnot, self hosted VOIP servers and some other cool shit.
And yeah it'll be more stable than tox, it will be fast, secure and the client will be responsive, it should work in a browser too.

>>52671010
first, you should say "my dev team and I"; stop speaking like a nigger.

second, instead of jumping on a "new" thing, why not contribute to something that is already somewhat popular? it is very unlikely you will succeed

third, if you go ahead, don't pick a retarded team. AGPL and transparency above all things

>>52671089
Can't name it signal, that's already a thing.

This is either bait or >>>/trash/

>>52671117
First, you're a faggot jew
2nd, we're building the service because we're going to be making money from the side services and shit, you know people have to be paid.
3rd the team is really nicely built, no idiots on it, and it's a small team of crypto lovers, so yeah no bloated code or unsecure comms fgt

>>52671119
That's the joke.
What you are working on already exists.

>>52671151
It's not bait, you don't understand the concept of end to end encryption do you?
Our servers can't read your data only the end users can.
And P2P networks are crap because they get slow and are subject to too many attacks, I'm not going to run a chat platform with millions of users on a P2P network.

>>52671156
>crypto lovers

Can you guys just give me a name instead of rambling about what we're building?

>>52671101
I'll only love it if it's fee software and you name it librechat

>>52671156
>we're going to be making money
sure buddy

>>52671010
Thank you for reinventing the wheel and making it square, we really need just another shitty messaging app.

>>52671185
Do you understand the concept of metadata, faggot?

Verbal.

>>52671202
Whisper

>>52671010
Since you haven't clarified yet, will the software be free/open source?

Do you plan on getting the crypto audited by a third party anytime soon?

If the answer to either of these is no, then I think there are safer alternatives already

>>52671250
Contact lists are encrypted blobs protected by PBKDF2
To be honest there isn't much metadata to use, just knowing someones username and who they sent it to doesn't really mean much, but sure, you realize there's metadata even in a P2P setup, there's metadata everywhere.

>>52671010
Crypple

The app for people who love crypto

Hemlis

>>52671280
The client will be opensource
and yes the cryptographic algorithms and communication algorithms will be public for people to see and improve

bleep

>>52671185
> It's not bait, you don't understand the concept of end to end encryption do you?
Are users' keys anyhow unambiguously related to users' public identifiers? If not, mitm attack is quite easy.
> And P2P networks are crap because they get slow and are subject to too many attacks,
However the centralized networks have at least a single point of failure: central servers, prone to hacking and government intrusions.
> I'm not going to run a chat platform with millions of users on a P2P network.
It's not like you're going to have millions of users with your centralized solution given there already is skype.

>>52671318
Metadata will tell you exactly who wrote to who, at what time, for how long, where the two parties are located and so on.
That's a shitload of information.

>>52671370
Users private keys are protected with passphrases which have to be strong and are verified.
The server storing the messages is behind an HTTP reverse proxy and has a firewall to only allow traffic through it, we don't use SQL or anything that can have failures and have a data intrusion.
And we're not sure about how many users we have, if it doesn't work out, we'll still use it with our friends since we know it's secure.

>>52671387
We won't record IP addresses or anything like that so cut the parties being located out of it.
You just know two people spoke to each other at X time, what's the big deal.
Also for anyone wondering our platform will have an API so neckbeards can build their own clients

skipe

>>52671318
>just knowing someones username and who they sent it to doesn't really mean much
What the fuck are you smoking? You can reconstruct peoples' social networks from that.

So far we only have: Crypple, Hemlis, Lockbox, Anchor, Whisper, Cuckoo

this is a nice thread

>>52671467
Cuckoo is a bird
most of the generic names we can't use, we want something unique, mkay.

>>52671406
You didn't get my point. Let's say I start a conversation with someone. They send me their public key, I send them mine. How can I be sure then the key I received is indeed that person's and they indeed got mine?

>>52671502
PGP supports message signing and Identity verification, read up on the algorithm then start asking.

>>52671424
> We won't record IP addresses or anything like that so cut the parties being located out of it.
That's what you say, however there is no reason to trust this claim.

Fakeblock

>>52671424
>We won't record IP addresses or anything like that so cut the parties being located out of it.
You might have to depending on where you're located

>>52671519
Okay then, what if we did, what's the big deal if I have millions of entries and you just happen to be one of them? Why are you on 4chan if the webserver can see your IP address among the thousands.

>>52671442
Honestly, Anchor is a damn cool name..

>>52671457
Wow, you went full Google in just two posts. You went from
>we've got a secure, end-user friendly solution that protects you
to
>if you don't want people to know what you're searching, maybe you shouldn't be searching in the first place

Besides, you do realize that the whole point of reconstructing networks is that a singular data point is not important, right? All you need is a few contacts who were dumb enough to use the same email/username as everywhere else, and the entire network is compromised.

Don't get assblasted just because you're a tard.

If there is a something in the implementation that is catchy, name it after that.
Or some variation of the word conversation or connection.
As I don't know more than what you have said, coming up with a clever name is not easy.
Go out with your dev team. Drink a lot of beers and come up with names.
Some will be silly, some will be outright terrible but the next day you will remember something and you should probably go with that.

>>52671550
I like anchor, it's somewhat generic but It can work, we just need more options to chose from.

>>52671544
noone is on 4chan for privacy reasons, there's other imageboards and mailing lists for that.

>>52671544
> you've got nothing to hide, do you? Or are you a terrorist or a pedophile?

>>52671550
In fact, it's just too cool for you and your team of gay lovers, OP.

You don't deserve it, go with Cuckoo or something.

>OP trying to shill his not yet released app

I like how /g/ always tries to make everything a botnet and big brother bs, but whatever, I'd like some names, you won't need to judge until the release is out.

Telegraph.

>>52671941
There's a lot more to it, I didn't mention anything because that's not related to the thread, I just want a name no questions asked.

>>52671010
We're ok to find you a name, but we need to know what is encrypted, how, which protocol you will use, which users you target, how you aim to get this target, what will be your identity and so on.

From what I've read I wouldn't trust you, and if you don't have enough people in your crew and/or enough money to put in marketing research you should give up.

We can't make you a name from (nothing). We've got silent circle and noisy square, protonmail, cryptocat, hemlis, qTox and so on, and I can't see a link between Lavaboom and GnuPG (talking about the name obviously).

Oh, and if your primary focus is to get a good name to get trendy you should give up either. No problem if you're just a member of the team who said "I have an idea ! I'll ask an anime image board where trolls, anonymous Telegram/Microsoft/Canonical employees, pedophile weeabo ricers and all the validist racist mysogynist jerks who infect gaming lifestyle and dev communities and globally everyday life gather !", preceding a surrounding wave of applauses and a consensus around this brillant idea.

But it's an advice I would give to a friend, or my past self : that's not because you've got a business model, a catchy name and good defaults (such as elliptic curves) that you'll do anything good. The web relies on concepts and protocols called web and e-mail, dammit.

The worst thing would be that you would make a successful kickstarter indeed, to finally become the symbol of "why people don't deserve encryption".

Conversely, if you know that you're able to make a user-friendly, end-to-end encrypted, anonymous, metadata obfuscating, P2P protocol and so on (pick some good stuff here) that will be great.

I'd also remind you the best encryption is the one which is used by everyone, so it's worth the trust people put in it. Be ready to destroy your servers to prevent access from the FBI, and eventually to face federal court.

Hope this may help you, be it with doing it or preventing you to do so.

>>52671101
>non p2p
unless you allow me to setup my own server and not use yours you can fuck off, alos is it gunna be open source?

>>52672001
You don't realise we're not in the USA but in a country with nice cyber laws and that end to end encryption means our servers don't contain any data about what the users are sending it's literally just blobs of useless data that we move to the end user so even if the FBI had direct access they couldn't read shit and I came to this community to ask for a name becasue I'm part of this community, so instead of bashing how about some respect.

>>52672087
>that end to end encryption means our servers don't contain any data about what the users are sending it's literally just blobs of useless data
>still ignores metadata
It's like you're brain-damaged.

>>52672087
Do you know what metadata is ? If you want to make something successful just launch a kickstarter and make the crypto folks aware of it.

You're being meta (= ironical) with cyber I guess ?

If you don't know what you're doing don't do it and give your money to digital rights projects such as GnuPG, TAILS, TOR, Qubes OS or anything related.

CenTTox, central tox - like tox but worse

>>52672179
May I know where the servers would be located so I can find you a name highlighting this ? I mean out of the 5 Eyes or the EU.

>>52672349
What the hell ? I'm trying to help you. I wish you success in your project though.

>>52672370
But I have no idea about a good name I could give you. I just don't know which advantages you could offer.

For the record, Cryptocat focuses on everyday use at home, where you can see cats. It's not called TLS v1.2 and that's for good reason.

A name has to be decided by a dedicated team, with several consistent prototype suggestions including a UI, a graphic chart and so on.

If you use elliptic curves by default, that's going to be obsolete pretty soon but you may call it hyberbole.ch. I dunno, just throwing a name away.

Also

>and I came to this community to ask for a name becasue I'm part of this community, so instead of bashing how about some respect.

I didn't mean to lack of respect, but what you're asking for is at least a bit exotic.

>>52671318
>PBKDF2
No. PBKDF2 is obsolete.

Use Argon2i, the winner of the password hashing competition. (Argon2d, the proof-of-work for cryptocurrencies, might need a revision, but Argon2i is good.)

PBKDF2, especially when used with HMAC, inherits some nits that you really don't want: for example, a password longer than the hash function block yields the same result as its own hash.

However, I don't think your project sounds very interesting.

>>52674091

it is unusable on mobile and drains battery on laptops fast.
The protocol is fine when you are talking, but a chat is usually idle 99% of the time and you only talk to people some of the time.
I guess you can set up a server that can intersects all the messages and then tell you when to start it but right now xmpp is much better

That and you generally write like an ass; seriously, someone acting like a dick is not an excuse for you to act like a dick. All that comes of that is that you choose to act like a dick.

Poor show.
