What happened, /g/? You'd think that with Whatsapp, Telegram,

>>58448637
The NSA killed it. Try Ring.cx

>>58448720
Ring.cx looks really bad though

Tox is good, but it has the same problem as Signal: no one uses it.
Riot is 10/10 as well.

Never had a good logo

Autists can't actually make software.

Shit that needs fixing remains unfixed while dumb shit gets over worked on.

It is still in development,but fags on /g/ dislike that people in your chat can know your ip.

Ring does not even fuck'n work.


> use ring works between phone and laptop
>turns out only works in lan

>>58448637
What's up with just using Signal?

>>58448772
You only need to get your bros to install Signal. It's not like everyone needs to use it, just people who you talk to all the time.

>>58448911
>but fags on /g/ dislike that people in your chat can know your ip.
It uses tor so effortlessly.

>>58448911
>fags on /g/ dislike that people in your chat can know your ip.

Then it's fucking useless.

>>58448952
Normies aren't going to install Tor to chat with you

No wonder Tox died.

If you don't want to people to know your IP on 4chan why would you let people know your IP on Tox?

>>58448968
Yeah but the normies aren't the ones that care or even know about your IP showing.

>>58448977
Even normies complained to Skype when they were getting DDOSed by people and then Skype had to change the entire network to conceal people's IPs.

>>58448637
The problem with Tox is there's no easy way to add your friends. "Oh here I'm on TOX my address is 2044529348980139423958234." instead of "Hey man add me on TOX I'm user.name"

Unless they've changed that, but I dunno how they'd manage while keeping it secure and de-centralized.

>>58449035
>Oh here I'm on TOX my address is 2044529348980139423958234.

I prefer that. It's like giving somebody a disposable phone number.

>>58449035
You can have a username assigned to your tox id if you want, most people don't though because it hurts privacy.

>>58449045
I don't mind it either since you only really need to do it once, but your average person will look at that long-ass string and go "WTF is this this service must suck."

Sure there's toxme.io but then you're right back to the whole "There's a database of your tox id linked to your email" problem.

>>58449077
It's so fucking stupid to make these public databases with peoples usernames on them.

Matrix/Riot is better anyway.

My best friend is stuck with Windows Phone, others aren't willing to.

>>58449722
>My best friend is stuck with Windows Phone

Why are you friends with a retard?

>>58449736
His Android was broken so his dad bought him WP.
I was looking for good clients that can communicate with WP but I haven't found any.
I don't chat much via phone so I don't mind using Whatsapp. I haven't used my photo or name on it.
>inb4 this is 18+ site
I am 18

>>58449831
>I am 18

go away

>>58449736
Why aren't you? It's good for your self-esteem.

someone needs to make a fake skype program that will look exactly like skype but under the hood it'd be using tox protocols

then you can replace skype on normie computers without them suspecting a thing

I'd move from Telegram to Tox, but I need muh furry porn stickers.

>>58450055
They will definitely suspect it

>>58450055
What did Kek mean by this?
You mean like majority of GNU/Linux distros who tried copying Windows?
The real solution is to get mainstream media to advertise them, get it trending on Google Play (but also set it available to FDroid) and normies will sink in.
The only problem is that success of apps lies in advertisements you see all over the web, and those are quite expensive.

>>58450154
no, you just make a program that looks and behaves exactly like skype, down to logos

then you install it on your mom's pc

They need to fix this before I'll consider using it, https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/issues/237

>>58449831
Wire works on windows devices. End to end encryption, text, talk, pictures, videos and lots of shiny bells and whistles. Protocol is called proteus and based on axelotl which moxie developed, full warning though, there was beef between moxie and the lead dev supposedly for copyright issues? That and I don't think the protocol has been independently reviewed by a cypherpunk.

Installed seamlessly on android and looks fucking sexy as shit but installing it on my mint box turned into a shitshow. The git page is a mess, the readme is a joke and they use obscure meme build tools. Long story short, unless your distro packages it or you are familiar with hipster build practices or comfortable with ppas forget it.

It's fine. Just needs a new logo. I can make it.

>>58448637
Not enough marketing.

>>58449722
Use Telegram then.

>>58450293
It's not secure. It's as good as Whatsapp.

>>58448637
I used Tox, I really wanted it to work, but it's shit for now. Maybe with some work it can become a decent chat program, but for now it lacks many features and has numerous bugs.

>>58450306
It's better than whatsapp in the sense that you have a real desktop client.

>>58450306
Worse than whatsapp

>>58450217
ok do it
