Hi Libtech and Nadim, Is it possible for both versions of crypto.cat to be available? That is to say, maintain the existing version of quick, disposable chat rooms, and then also create the new, more secure version with the XMPP and the browser extension?
I ask because in my experience it's easy to get "ordinary civilians" to use current disposable crypto.cat chatrooms -- shoot them the link, and suddenly they're off facebook or google chat, which they've heard enough nasty things about already -- and in so doing, begin to lure them to what some might call the dark arts. Whereas with the planned extension + login/password version, the barrier to entry (at least for my target demographic) is significantly higher. A devil's advocate could argue the existence of two versions would disincentive people from ever moving to more secure methods, but I don't have anything like the empirical numbers to know what would really happen. In any case, crypto.cat is appreciated! :-Douglas _______________________________________________ liberationtech mailing list [email protected] Should you need to change your subscription options, please go to: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech If you would like to receive a daily digest, click "yes" (once you click above) next to "would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?"
