With this one, when I tether, I can successfully ping from BSD but no http/ftp stuff opens, e.g.: > curl -L Ĭurl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peerĪnd sometimes soon after I try it an SMS comes 'buy internet sharing'. With my previous mobile provider it worked fine, now I have had to move and switch provider. I haven't yet looked at qTox or Bitmessage.Wanna connect an OpenBSD machine to mobile internet via Android smartphone USB tethering. I've seen several attempts at similar things, but none of them had much polish back when I looked at it a few years back.

iMessage will use wifi, but not bluetooth and not P2P style. I really like the mesh type fail over this program attempts to provide.

Finally, I must stay within Apple's ecosystem to get all its benefits and I don't use MacOS as frequently as I used to. But again, I must trust Apple, and the system in't fullproof as its possible to spoof clients although much more difficult with 2 factor authentication enabled. I also appreciate that it attempts to encrypt my communications. I've been using Apple's iMessage service on my iphone, which is encrypted and convenient because it works and communicates with other SMS clients seamlessly.

I frequently use Teamspeak for voice communications on a private server, however I'm not sure how much I trust that my private server isn't 'listening' to my conversation anyway since the software is closed source.

Bitmessage leverages a side effect of the cryptography elements in PoW to make a spam resistant private messaging system, but it could not, and would not be private nor would it be scalable or deployable on devices with limited resources with a full blockchain implementation.īack to the original topic, I've been interested in using a program like this for a while. It only makes sense in scenarios where you either need to convert energy into value, secure a P2P financial system, or make your network expensive to DDoS. What makes it useful is that it makes a high volume of transactions expensive. Proof of work was originally conceptualized as a spam prevention mechanism. What advantage would this convey over public key cryptography? By design, only the holder of the private key can be corresponded with, so why in the world would you need to verify that with a group of other third parties? This only serves to erode the privacy and anonymity of the encrypted communication. We've already established you have a very poor understanding of Blockchain and Proof-of-work, no need to keep repeating it.

Something like it where everything can be verified I posted it here in the news category partly because I don't know any other category that fits it better, and partly so and might see it for their news show tomorrow PS: I saw that there is a post on the Lounge by but I wanted to give it its own thread, since it didn't seem to get any attraction. If the internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance. If the internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices.

The app is currently only available as FOSS for Android, but has already been audited by Cure53 and is considered secure with good code quality.īriar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Yesterday I heard from Briar which tries to solve these problem by using peer-to-peer communication over the Tor network while the Internet is up, but can resort to communication via Bluetooth and WiFi if it's not. Apart from that, if the government decides to 'turn off' the internet, there is no way to communicate with those apps and your smartphone basically becomes a paper weight. These days end-to-end encrypted messaging apps are ubiquitous, but it's nearly impossible to find one that doesn't rely on a central server that can not only be blocked to block the service, but can also aid in collecting metadata about its user.
