It does not support symmetric encryption (everything is encrypted with public key crypto), but if you have a pre-shared secret, you can use some other channel (say, e-mail with contents encrypted symmetrically) to share ToxIDs. Then, add people to a Groupchat and you're good to go.
Thanks rysiek! Will check it out.
(not sure if it belongs in the 'simple' category though...)
Well, no need to set up any accounts, and it "just works" from my experience. Haven't seen a simpler IM/chat. :)
Yes, sorry, by simple I didn't necessarily mean 'user friendly' - what I had in mind was a simple system, simple protocol, no bloatware, etc. Well, at least tox is not written in python =) - anyway, going to compile it and see if it requires 1GB of libraries or somethng lke that =P But it does look interesing.
But do test for yourself!
