Thanks Sébastien for your explanation again and the shared link to Riot*s way to handle that. For me there seem to be a few questions left:
1. The blog entry is talking about "downside is a small loss of privacy." -> What would that mean to Ring? 2. Matrix is talking about "non-GCM/APNS push mechanisms" -> Are that any alternatives Ring could use/develop? 3. Will the server-side push server run by you guys? Or is it self-hostable? Or is the server-side push server the Open DHT network itself? 4. And if Open DHT is just telling, that there is a message xyz exchanged: Who can someone draw conclusions from who is sending the message through the network. p.s. Could you please "group reply" so i get an E-Mail from you as well? > Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.courno...@savoirfairelinux.com> hat am 16.
