Why do you claim simplex has the "most secure" crypto? Why is it more secure than the standard double ratchet everyone else uses?
it is using double ratchet but heres the most recent tob. the fact that they use distributed self hostable relays and no user identifiers is more secure imo
Last time I tried SimpleX, you had to scan a QR code to go from Desktop to mobile and vice versa, any chance of them changing that? Otherwise it did look promising.
yeah you can only use one device at a time because simplex doesn't have accounts, just devices. but you can make another account per device and add them to your chats
Wowww that's bad design
yeah it's annoying, but they're pretty committed to the no user id thing
