It is obviously false. End-to-end encryption doesn't leak metadata in the way you propose it does in your whitepaper. And it doesn't help that you don't define metadata in your paper, you just repeat it over and over again.

Specifically, what are you talking about protecting? Does this extend to deep packet inspection? Because your paper doesn't mention anything about that either. OR, you know, literally just talking to another server. You don't mention relays. You casually mention Tor in passing but make no concrete statements about the design of it by comparison.

Your paper isn't rigorous, your claims are superfluous, and they further attempt to discredit security progress across the entire field.

YOU are the only one who has ever created truly secure communication? Get real. What a complete joke.

It's like someone selling water and saying no one has ever created pure water before US.

Edit: If you want to appeal to security people, use plain language, be precise, and state your intentions. You do none of those things with this software.

Instead you:

* Use provably wrong marketing language

* Propose a provably wrong whitepaper

* Do not state your intentions for building the software

What it looks like to me is that you received some modest funding ($200,000) to write software and your sponsors didn't realize your work doesn't pass the smell test.

So, it's basically a false claim. No reasonable person would equate the two. Insane.

I dig it. I haven't had time to comb through the code yet. I would appreciate a more clear zero to go explainer process.... but also encouraging people to evaluate on their own is pretty good. Having to look at it from zero is a huge chore though. I've got a pretty busy August, but I do plan to poke through it from the jump. I am pretty good at taking "my first time exploring this thing" notes and formatting them into rough to polished instructions. I don't really think I'd blog about it or anything. Would y'all be interested in those notes? I could make a repo and make it markdown that can be autodoced is usually my process after parsing my notes, screen recording clips, and test/proof evaluations. I'm not promising it'll be world shattering but could be a nice seed. Where would I submit something like that? Tweet? Email? Forum? Mailing list? Tracker? Please don't say Discord.
