#TIL about a new free code chat app called #Session, available for all major mobile and desktop OS:

@strypey On first sight this looks very promising.
@hexmasteen maybe? But according to the information at the GH repo it doesn't depend on a centralized server, so quite different from Signal.
@strypey I'm reading the whitepaper right now. Not sure what to this of this yet.
@hexmasteen I'm interested in your thoughts when you finish reading.
@strypey I just posted an overview. I didn't test it, but I assume usability is not ideal yet (e.g. proof of work on a mobile client).
It remains to be seen if this can find it's niche or maybe even become mainstream.
Coin with Whitepaper indicates the community/culture where this is coming from and that's one I'm not very familiar with and generally skeptical towards.

Link please?

For good reason ;) Perhaps Session offers something not possible with non-blockchain chat P2P like #Jami and #Tox apps, or the many existing #blockchain-based social media projects:

But the burden of proof is definitely on them.
