Hey ORG-ers, I thought this would certainly be of interest to people; I came across this project the other day called Tox. It's meant to be a secure, encrypted-to-the-hilt, chat/audio/video protocol; there's a client called Venom also in development for Windows, MacOS and Linux (Also some mobile apps, the source is all on Github). http://tox.im/
I'm giving it a try now, the basic chat functionality is there but audio and video and still works in progress. It's still got a long way to go to being useable, but it'll be good in that, rather than being complex-crypto-hash-dash-x1-delta-p-1337-hax0r super duper pain-in-the-arse to use, it's being developed to be a simple install and use app, being secure from peer to peer right out the box. The main wiki is here: http://wiki.tox.im/Main_Page Source is all on GitHub if you want to build it yourself or contribute; there are some compiled binaries already available. Personally, I'll be paying attention very closely. I think decentralisation is going to be very important for reclaiming privacy on the internet. What do you reckon? Graham
