Is anyone *actually* using simplex?
Discussion
No, because it's a honeypot and now riddled with censorship
Could you please explain more?
I would like to know more too! I’ve got it installed but never used it much.
EXACTLY. Its all hype, no marketshare. Not working.
It never worked very reliably for me and no one I talk to regularly uses it.
Are you using it daily?
Yes, I do use it daily so definitely want to know if there are documented vulnerabilities
Understand.
The main reasons I'm not using:
(1) Not working well and across devices (maybe early)
(2) No marketshare (as in, no one I know uses it)
- worse, I tried to convert my network, it didn't work so my friends really don't want to try again!
(3) Desire to make Nostr STRONGER
So that's before I would even get to analyzing security issues.
Remember, the biggest vulnerabilities are NOT technical, they are social and legal. If there is an NGO/foundation, then you really know the head can be taken off.
I hear that. One group I used it with stopped because of the poor computer interface. You had to have the app and the software open at the same time and not just linked.
I'm optimistic, BUT, I'm way more optimistic on Nostr and the speed of innovation here, experimentation and high quality core of people cranking.
Totally inspiring.
As I say often, the problem is WITH ME.
I have not really even got started yet...been working on the healing process since the day found out my best friend was executed:

10 years enough to rest.
I have it installed but have no one to talk to. I whish we could use simplex quality messages with nostr npubs for contact discovery
I'm in the same boat. The app is sitting on my phone with no contacts in it.
Simplex is a perfect example of GHOOOS
Should focus resources on Nostr and improving Nostr.
Downloaded it, have couple of friends, but we end up using mostly Signal. 😂
Yes.
But all my anonymous accounts would say "no".
WOW, but the nofications come sometimes weeks late etc
I don't have notifications turned on. but when I did for a little they seemed to work?
I mainly use it for group chats (where I wouldn't want notifications anyway) for some Tor services and other communities.
I use it
Who with?
Nostr women group
WHAT? You are using it for Nostr chat?
Perfect example that that should be working on Nostr
Can't flotilla or chachi or 0xchat do this?

I’ve used it plenty of times to fulfill orders from The Bullish Shop. 🫡
