Hi Grarpamp uh? The post was just, that bleep messenger is not open source and I would not use it. Instead there is firefloo as open source and it has binaries to download, which I evaluated. A mobile version of that would be cool, but I cannot compile this. The website seems to be run by the QXMPP developer. If you want to build it yourself, I think the developers added the information here https://sourceforge.net/p/firefloo/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/branches/0.09/Docume... or for the used library I think here https://sourceforge.net/p/spot-on/code/HEAD/tree/branches/0.12/Documentation... as I have never compiled firefloo, I can try to do that with Qt and if successful provide a script after the weekend, but dont relay on me for that. But if possible, I send it to you. Regards
If you are able to compile a binary that sha-256 matches the distributed binary, yes, please do make your compilation script and platform notes available. No, do not send it to me, send it to the list. As to the "uh?" above ... Search results for info on this family of sourceforge applications are slim and don't really inspire the level of confidence this type of crypto software would typically require... empty profiles, empty mailing lists, no CV's, no whitepapers (there is a goldbug manual), no presentations... no obvious email addresses... the claim to be working with EFF and CCC... and likely the same folks mimicing TBB below ... all of which has been said before. You seem to be the one most familiar with the projects, only one on the net posting about them (plus Thomas), only one to know anything, seemingly chatting in the devel channel... http://sourceforge.net/p/goldbug/mailman/goldbug-forum/ More people here would like to welcome these new projects provided they meet some of the usual community standards suitable for crypto projects. If you (or more specificaly, whoever is behind these) are playing anonymous or somesuch, and this cluster of projects on sourceforge is legit, accept my apologies, I'm sure you understand where people are coming from. Doing a little more digging and CC'ing some potential relevants for comment... Regarding firefloo ...
