I really don't get how Adam Langley can be recommending apps on
Android or iOS devices. That's some crazy shit.

And undercomm spoke well of it, just a few months ago:
<https://medium.com/@undercomm/secure-communication-pond-4985bfe85a2c>

So anyway, I'm running a Pond server. As backup, or whatever. At:

pondserver://VEPNRUOJLMJEKOB65RBCAM22YPJWQJIPUFT3WO32PK7JWLKU7RBQ@oj424kafxnudeizc.onion

It's on a well secured server, in a Whonix-like setup. I'll write some
instructions, and put them on <http://dbshmc5frbchaum2.onion>.

Feel free to use it. To communicate with me, send a shared secret via
encrypted email. My GnuPG key is at <https://keybase.io/mirimir>.

To install a Pond client, see
<https://gist.github.com/anonymous/ac909d690b08ec50867e0b4639031e87>.
It works well in Whonix :)
