Hallo Nik,

thank you very much for your feedback! I just had started testing it
(with qtox for Linux and trifa for Android) but felt somewhat unsure if
I'd want to "spread the word" due to the quite negative connotation of
the German Wikipedia article [1], and an LWN.net article [2] about some
trouble within the core developing team.

I like the "serverless" p2p concept very much and was impressed how
well it performs - and also of qtox's "feature completeness". As tox
uses common crypto libs (libnacl / libsodium), I hope that the
mentioned security issues have been mitigated - and even if not, I am
confident that a wider use of it will move it more into focus of
possible security auditors.

Best regards and libre Grüße,
Florian
