When you start looking at alternative messengers outside of Matrix, XMPP, and IRC, there isn't much where third parties can operate or implement both servers and clients. Certainly if no one can implement these two things it is functionally a closed source project. It also is a security failure from the standpoint of control, validation, and also future security and vulnerability patching (there's a graveyard of dead "secure" messaging apps.) Is DeltaChat perfect from a security standpoint? No, but it's certainly well above the hurdle most people are at now. Most people are using non-encrypted communication that is actively scanned & stored, or e2e on paper stuff where one party controls the client, server, application, and storage (trust me e2e security.) Telegram, Discord, Facebook Messenger, stop using that shit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

>Is DeltaChat perfect from a security standpoint? No, but it's certainly well above the hurdle most people are at now. It's less safe compared to Signal, and Signal is the gold standard recommendations for average Joes. "Better than Telegram" is a low bar. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Apologies for any nativity here, but wouldn't storing encrypted messages on a blockchain be a robust solution for this? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
