yet another messenger. pls stop.

Looks interesting.
So basically it's a free** skype?

>GNU
>showing windows 10 as the first picture

It's just Tox again.

>Ring is free software for universal communication which respects freedoms and privacy of its users.

Including the data mining slaves of win10.

It's a decentralized and encrypted alternative to skype/fb messenger/etc.

>No no, pls stop I liked to get fucked in the ass by the NSA, microshit, and jewgle

>Stallman hasn't coded anything in 20+ years
>giving him credit

>Skype credit

Stallman started the gnu project, which funds the development of gnu project software. This ensures ring won't be a failure like tox.

If it can't communicate with existing network (skype's and facebook's mainly) it won't take off.

I actually want to talk to people

Everytime one of these comes out I wish I had friends.

Doesn't matter, regardless of the program being free or opensource if it doesn't have users on it then it might as well become a failure. Besides if it does grow(top kek) paying for the servers would bankrupt the whole gnu project. And if you even think about paying for a video/audio call then it would not be a real gnu program.

What actually happened to tox? some fiasco with the funding, and then it died?

using it for about 3 months now

it looks promising but it does not work
lost messages while changing networks
and behind certain nat setups

no patches since august

I even shilled it here, but is now nearly dead

cont:
the win client is a joke

>t guy who never used ring

Uh
ring.cx/en/documentation/faq#node-129
Good luck setting it up, especially on CGN 3g/LTE shit

>paying for the servers would bankrupt the whole gnu project.
What? It's DHT; peer to peer.

The binary wouldn't install.

>broadcasts IP and messages to everyone using it
lmao

What's a good encrypted messenger for my Cyanogen Samsung S5 and gf's unrooted LG G5 though?

So they made an IRC chat with video steaming?

No.

Signal

you are the one who have never used ring

I have been shilling it here months ago

nice to see that there is a new beta ready

beta 1 was not functional
it only worked reliable on wifi
months of testing with my friends

ITT:
>I like my botnet skype

Savoir-faire Linux is a Canadian company specialized in Linux and free software.

At least with Skype your IP doesn't show to others.

theverge.com/2016/1/22/10813826/skype-hide-ip-address-default-setting

Do you torrent? Cause that also shows your ip to others.

Do tech illiterates actually believe this?

>what is "gamers using skype get skype resolved and booted offline"

Look at the op picture, or read the blog post. Ring is a gnu project now, like emacs, gcc, or nano.

Just use obnoxious marketing, it worked for Discord under the same conditions.

No, still alive. "Soon" they'll have async messaging, then SPV-esque clients will be trivial. This in turn will make mobile Tox feasible. Then it will be useful.

I need friends
ring:7fd598e17290c6186b128fcaab9e90c9a0dee35f

Let's be friends

add me

Discord is proprietary

Yeah? Is that relevant here? Would that it's botnet-free make this any less likely to succeed?

WIRE IS WAY BETTER

USE WIRE FAGGOTS

>Released under GPLv3 licence


No thanks, fuck

>open source
into the thrash it goes.

testing this shit

add me you niggers

kys

>implying that there are cables going through the ocean

Even if you're wired your shit goes through satellites and stuff dumbass.

>being this retarded

wire.com/privacy/

How does this change anything retard? The traffic still goes wireless at some point regardless of the app you're using.

Redphone or signal. Why ring?

wat the fuck are you talking about

GNU quality just like GNU cat

Why does the ID have to be so complicated? Why can't it just be user selected?

Dropped

>connects to open distributed hash table's server

Just took Michael as my username

Fuck you guys

Please stop posting, you have absolutely nothing of value to add.

Pick it back up, fucker

They could have just contributed to tox instead of making their own shit.

that's not how open source werks

...

Are you saying the people of Tox would deny support?

I mean Hell, tox.chat links to gnu when speaking about free software

Also
>“Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and IMPROVE the software.
gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

I hope they learned from Skype's implementation of P2P all those years ago.

it was donated to gnu yesterday if you didn't noticed

Oh wow, someone made an acceptable looking logo for GNU.

So, it`s just tox again? But with a worse license

Using public keys as primary keys in DHTs is usually one of the most practical organisations.

Securely allocating unique names in untrusted distributed systems requires a global consensus protocol: it's the same ordering problem as preventing double-spend in digital cash protocols. See "NameCoin" for a practical example of this.

It gets a lot easier when relaxing either uniqueness (allow duplicates, disambiguate; but this requires out-of-band signature checking for safe use of names), or trust (centralised name server, or identity-based signatures of some form; but this is unpalatable).

>switching from IRC or XMPP to this shit
Why?

>>giving him credit
