There was a NIP proposal for adding general contact info links which includes SimpleX. NIP-48 is for bridging content from other platforms, NIP-39 is for verifying identities of other platforms, which I suppose could be done for SimpleX addresses if there was a way to sign messages with the public keys. I think NIP-24 kind 0's are the most suitable for linking to SimpleX addresses as described here: https://github.com/retrnull/garnet/issues/8
100% SimpleX. It's far more reliable and private than Keet. SimpleX explains on their website the issues with P2P designs. https://simplex.chat/#comparison-with-p2p-protocols
> This is the venture capital company of Jef Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, ect.
This is simply a misinformation. Read Ben's comment. These people are among hundreds of their LPs, without direct influence on any of the invested companies.
> I believe in SimpleX Chat vision and team’s ability to execute it. The growing number of Internet users who demand privacy of their data and contacts will make SimpleX Chat profitable, which is critically important for any sustainable organization.
> We are fortunate to have LPs who founded many iconic Internet ventures. But they don’t have any influence on the 400+ companies we invested in. They are financial investors in our fund and exert no control or influence on any of the underlying portfolio companies.
> What's more, we believe that founders should lead their ventures, as it yields better results – our investment in SimpleX Chat has no control provisions. We are happy to help, but we don’t control any decisions nor have a board seat. Evgeny runs the company independently.
I did
The more VC Companys involved = the more bad is it for software.
Do your want real privacy?
Don´t use SimpleX. Better switch to Threema from Switzerland.
Check it for yourself:

Rate:
🟩=3 🟨=1 🟥=0
Results (and where the money comes from)
1. Threema = 86 = most secure Messenger (User pays one-time)
2. Signal (OTF / Brian Acton / Ex-WhatsApp) = 80
3. Session (Loki Coin & suspicious Chinese) = 77
4. Wire (Janus Fries / Ex-Skype) = 68
5. SimpleX Chat *= 67
6. Wickr (Amazon) = 61
7. Element / Matrix (Amdocs / Morris Kahn) = 56
8. Apple iMessage (Hardware sales) = 37
9. WhatsApp (Meta) = 32
10. Google Messages (Ads) = 28
11. Telegram (Putin) = 27
12. Facebook Messenger (Meta) = 26
13. Microsoft Skype =10
* SimpleX Chat got 380.000 $ from VillageGlobal.vc = Jez Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, ect.

I'm currently testing NymVPN (alpha). So far, it performs well on both desktop and mobile. https://nymvpn.com/
How do I join the alpha? I signed up via email and it says I'm on the waiting list.
Hi, yes, coming this year
📢 Attention Garnet Users 📢
Consider pitching in to improve a few issues with Garnet and get it up to date with Amethyst. Maybe we'll get a couple nice features to go along with it.
Small amounts add up ✨

I'm excited for the last one, for obvious reasons.

They sell an overpriced "privacy" hotspot, it's technically a donation so they don't pay tax.
I use this https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/04.md is it not private and secure?????? What does PFS do????? I
But what about my private messages
Media and files could count as other stuff which is transmitted via relays rather than being uploaded to a single webserver like what happens on Nostr. Here's an article if you want to learn more about SimpleX's file transfer protocol specially https://simplex.chat/blog/20230301-simplex-file-transfer-protocol.html
Actually, in a way it is, it's not THE Nostr protocol but it is notes (messages) and (not really other stuff) transmitted by relays.
No, but it's a very similar design with relays. Nostr has largely failed to provide a private and secure DM protocol so far so that should be a good thing. nostr:nevent1qqs04jkx6rxfnzs8a3dc3gxsqpvjhe9yat74y3hdmfw53efeu22g6qcqrau8x
This is for verifying identity to contacts, not discovery. Nothing needs to be done on SimpleX's end for discovery but Nostr devs declined.
No need to compromise on discoverability or privacy. Nostr can be used as a discorrability layer for SimpleX (or any other messaging app) but this has been turned down twice. There were discussions about interesting SimpleX with Nostr last year but it never went anywhere, someone made a proposal for a contact info field to replace the DM button with but that was declined.
