In the last couple of hours we have laid out the groundwork for the very first live instance of Haveno called Reto.
We have set up multiple seednodes and have trusted arbitrators.
We expect to be able to provide simple instructions on how to join Reto within the next 24 hours, after which we will hopefully see the first trades happen!
Join our SimpleX group to stay updated:
See you soon on Reto!
Yes, because people treat messenger choices as a popularity competition.
Look how many people I got to switch to crapware just because they wanted to chat with me! I must be super socially powerful! Woo hoo! Meanwhile, the technical consequences of this strategy are… predictable: crapware.
Opt out of all the noise and just stick to IRC.
I think the many competing messengers are a good thing. Makes it a lot harder for glowies to spy and gather data.
Simplex is not bad, encrypted and proxies through tor easily if you already have tor running.
If they were backward-compatible (with their predecessors) and interoperable, I would agree. But they absolutely aren’t. The lack of backward compatibility in the chat/messenger space is abhorrent.
