I would be very hesitant to rely on the privacy of such a system until it's had some time to bake. First thoughts:

- I like that SimpleX is designed to address timing correlation. This is a traditional blind spot.

- I don't like that there is VC money. It doesn't really matter to me whether there is a nonprofit wrapper: VC wants ROI.

- There is a lot of trust placed in the entry and exit servers. If they're truly friendly that's fine, but how would you even know? If we've leaned anything since Snowden, it's that systems will be tapped in ways that few can even imagine. If a server's key is exfiltrated, you are no longer anonymous. nostr:note1n8veecpf7kgdl93prl8g8hcrw84639v2q9xrvjrqdt0x9f5euy3qvygued
