the peer to peer protocol at this point is only for realtime communication at which both parties have to be present. like IRC, those messages are not saved. it does not replace regular messaging which is stored. i was merely trying to point out that the developers are capable of thinking outside of the box that they started from and that deltachat may develop in a different direction. as someone else stated, deltachat's value is that it is able to reuse existing infrastructure and does not require (but allow) a new set of servers to be able to work. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> i was merely trying to point out that the developers are capable of thinking outside of the box that they started from and that deltachat may develop in a different direction. I mean this kindly: I wish they would think a little bit more inside the box, and converge onto a proven design. (It’s worth noting that your “existing infrastructure” argument is exactly why Signal uses phone numbers. Using existing infrastructure is a great idea, so long as it doesn’t compromise the security expectations any reasonable user has. That isn’t currently true for Delta Chat.) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
