hi

thank for your answer. what is the role of the password? is it used to access the TextSecure app? is it a shared password with the recipient?

Hello Wasabee,

I've used TextSecure but I found that it's like sending encrypted SMS, therefore you have the consequent cost associated to it. I don't know if Heml.is will be a kind of secure whatsapp or if it will have the same approach of TextSecure.

Correct me if I'm wrong with the SMS stuff. It was what I thought once I received my bill.

https://whispersystems.org/ already has an open-source secure messaging, voice and more.
Has anyone reviewed their code?
Does anyone use it?
Why not build on top of it?

your guess, I guess.

    According to their twitter account, the answer is "maybe":

    Peter Sunde (one of the people behind it) said "eventually", but
    in my experience promises like that tend to be broken:

        and the feature 'unlocking' aspect of the project - to be indication of 
a
        proprietary code base.

    Frankly I can't see how they could get the "feature unlock" funding
    stuff to work well if it's proper open source. As I'd expect people
    to fork it to remove such antifeatures. It's a pity, as several new
    funding models have been successful recently which are compatible with
    free software, but this doesn't look to be one of them.
