A big news for SimpleX Chat privacy and security:

Android apps released via GitHub and F-Droid are now 100% reproducible!

It means that you can easily verify that the app is secure, even if the download site was hacked.

From v6.5 our release process is:

1) build Android apps on two independent machines and confirm they are 100% identical;

2) cryptographically "sign" them;

3) add signature files to the release page so you can verify.

v6.5 beta.3 release: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/releases/tag/v6.5.0-beta.3

Server and Linux desktop builds were already reproducible, and Android APKs are now as secure.

Anyone can check it themselves - no coding needed, just follow our simple guide to verify the app is genuine or run the build yourself: https://simplex.chat/reproduce/

You're already there, would be much nicer if the release was officially signed though!

how's the shitcoin going ?

SimpleX Chat 1w ago

🤦‍♂️ we don't plan the shitcoin, and never did that :)

It's a payment system for servers, no "coins" there, shit- or not.

Read https://simplex.chat/vouchers - it's been updated.

The plan is evolving - whitepaper is half-way done, the assessment of blockchain to build on is ongoing.

I don't see the need for an additional blockchain.

Timestamping can be performed on the Timechain & cryptographic signatures don't require a blockchain.

You probably already get a sense of the cost that the mere suggestion of an additional token caused. Shitcoins have cost most of us an untold amount of time & value in entertaining them. There's a good reason why we detest them.

If you need funding for servers I suggest you conduct a zap raiser each month to cover your costs.
