Just read the “Threat Model” section of the website. They are working to prevent mass surveillance, not to stop targeted nation state level attacks against individual users. -Lance -- Lance Cottrell loki@obscura.com On May 19, 2014, at 10:36 PM, Александр <afalex169@gmail.com> wrote:

well, it seems too good to be truth. Recently we"ve got a lot of projects like that.
Yes, there are enthusiasts. A real good ones. But we should also ask ourselves, (except what tpb-crypto mentiond), who these guys are? Could they be a project of... the NSA itself? Yes.
I read their security section. The first thing in my mind (i am not tooooo paranoid:)) is that it is too good. It is absolutely free WITHOUT any mention of donations. Not even a mention. Who supports them? Can we trust him/it? Are they millionaires:)? We see not even one word about the money. Second of all, when you read their security section, its like a honey for bees - it invites you. Its ideal. Too much ideal. So yes, i rely on my feelings too, and there is something wrong with that.
These guys are from Germany: https://lavaboom.com/en/beta.html It seems to me a better choice (except the problem of the fact that Germany has got its nsa=bnd and that they give everything to nsa)
In the end, we need to trust someone. But we dont read their minds:). And it could be, after all, a big fall.
We"ve got pgp. Thanks God. But a 100% reliable and bulletproof email provider? No.
