TLDR: It's fun, but not a joke. π
@techit @TheFuzzStone @pixart It's Conversations with improved usability, especially for newcomers.
@vv01f @TheFuzzStone @pixart It's based on Conversations, but with improved usability! Usability is the real deal when it comes to adoption IMO.
Finally I found time to test the #XMPP client -> @pixart (#PixArtMessenger)
And you know what? This is just the best XMPP client for #Android with #OMEMO I've ever seen!
@gandalf86, thank you so much for your advice!
I don't want to offend other clients and their contrributors, but other projects are either not finished or they have a design from early 2000.

@joebrig Interesting suggestion, thanks :) I will look into that. Although I would prefer companies that directly accept anonymous crypto because it also shows their dedication to the subject of privacy.
@purism Unfortunately I am addicted to the Thinkpad keyboard, incl. trackpoint. π Have you considered making a laptop with a AMD Ryzen Pro processor that has transparent RAM encryption (AMD Memory Guard)? That would help against cold boot attacks.
Can someone recommend me a good email provider that accepts anonymous crypto as a payment method? #privacy #anonymous #crypto #xmr #monero #xspec #spectrecoin #zerocoin
@TheFuzzStone Hmm yeah that looks strage. :D
@TheFuzzStone What does the star say when you hover it with the mouse?

Please help testing by trying out the binaries for Windows, Linux and/or Mac OS! :) Feedback and issue reports are welcome, if there are no reported issues I'll call it a release in a few days π
@danarel Ok but with applications like Pix-Art Messenger or Quicksy, people can create an XMPP account easily and they support OMEMO out of the box. That part is actually very simple IMO.
There are no user-friendly XMPP apps for iOS though so you are right about the cross-platform issue.
@jonah So, what was the issue with the Mastodon TLS cert during the last days? Have you been hacked? π
@danarel Hi, Just looked at your website. I'm curious why you don't recommend XMPP on your messenger list?

Just heard that there is "Jobs4Bitcoins" on Reddit. And, I am the developer of #Titcoin. Maybe it's time for a "Handjobs4Titcoins"? π π
@verretor Visit a doctor ...
@TheFuzzStone Ok that's fine, then you have data encryption at rest. I was just commenting on the "separate your wallets from the host" part ... because, if your host gets compromised, in the sense that an attacker can copy arbitrary data and sniff keyboard strokes, then having a VM running on that host won't help because the attacker will see the password when you type it in.
