Recently found Gruveo[1]. Allows easy video and audio calls similar to cryptocat. Unfortunately not open source and makes no mention of being audited. Otherwise looks very interesting and promising. It tries to use P2P to make calls, and if it fails, then it will go through their servers. Uses WebRTC for end to end encrypted audio and video chat. They claim they don't keep any logs that could identify users.
So the question is, is this an NSA honey pot or something that might actually be trustworthy? It seems at least a bit more secure/trustworthy than skype to me.
Why even consider closed alternatives when you have things like Jitsi[1] available? It's open source, does secure voice, video, and text, and runs on just about any platform (including Android).

Eugen says... RetroShare has quite good P2P audio. It's not properly audited though, caveat emptor.
Ditto. Though it will take some time not just for the open source community to pick which projects to audit under limited resources, but to even develop a real auditing framework within itself to do that under. It's a huge undertaking and responsibility in its own right.
Further, what's with crap like gruveo.com, goldbug.sf.net [1], protonmail.ch, and so many more (especially the 'Look, we just solved Email encryption' crowd)? And of the partly open hw/sw stack vendor types like BlackPhone?
