It's my go to messenger, idc about the crypto stuff, it's just a way to reward volunteers who use their servers for all the mathematical conversions, and I have been thinking of running a node myself, to make the network more decentralized
It has some downsides though, you can't send larger files than 8mb, and if you lose your recovery phrase, you're compromised, and you can't edit messages
I used to tell people to use Signal or Element, but I noticed many can't even sign up, Session just generates a random ID for you, and voila..
I think the biggest issue for most privacy/security people is the removal of PFS.
Yea, but creating a node requires a BIG initial stake. So wonder how likely it is that you'd at least break even with this.
