[liberationtech] Tox Skype Alternative

[Travis McCrea]

With all the chat about Telegram, I am wondering about Tox.im. I realize it’s still in beta, and they admit themselves that you shouldn’t trust them with private conversation yet… but from what I understand their whole system is open and they don’t use server side software, everything is done in the open. 

Features of Tox:
Video Chat
Audio Chat
Text Chat
Public/Private key encryption
Decentralized

Encryption used:

It has a pretty cool looking website, but I know that a cool looking website doesn’t mean it’s secure (see Telegram).


I don’t work for or on Tox, just a privacy advocate trying to stay up with latest communication trends.
