As most people here might know, Session utilises a TOR-like onion routing system with some changes to route traffic. The username is the public key whilst the password is the private key.

Recently, a new project built on top of this came out: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/freespeech/

I’d like to know the community’s opinion of session and how much would you trust its technology. Thanks!

    I posted about preferring Session over SimpleX chat before and it seems like the big gripe is the crypto currency tie-in with Session

      The crypto tie in is either the greatest idea in a while or is going to turn out to be a massive disaster.

      For now I’m hesitant to say either way. I though about running a node on Lokinet a while back ended up not doing it due to cost.

      To be honest with you I would be way more trusting of something that had servers that could be setup easily.

      There is also Jami but Jami seems to be riddled with issues and is lacking a security audit.
