you can't sign up without giving them your phone number
also nice chrome extension there, kek
Hudson Phillips
Right now, Signal if you're using your phone number, Wire if you're not.
Sorry, I know that it means well, but Tox is unfortunately poorly designed. Just because it uses NaCl doesn't mean it has well-formed protocols.
Rather than trying to fix what they have, Threema-style, I suggest they should throw their existing protocol in the bin and use the Signal (message) and Noise (transport) protocol frameworks, or if not Signal then the newest OMEMO or Olm (which have similar constructions and designs but easier multi-device semantics).
They also need to take a long hard look at what long-known attacks would do to their DHT.

How the fuck do you sign up for Telegram anyway without using your real phone number?
Carter Harris
The most private way with Telegram would most likely be to buy a cheap SIM card from a supermarket to simply activate your account. The phone number the Telegram account is attached to doesn't necessarily have to be the phone number of the device you're using it on.
Aaron Wood
You can't. Just don't use Telegram.
Jose Lopez
Why not?
Jacob Torres
1. requires your phone number
2. shit crypto
3. lacks features
Wire is better in every way. (Even Whatsapp and Signal are better, if you don't mind using your phone number.)
Christian Gray
wire, the only good one.
Samuel Carter
Then use the fork you autist.

Telegram is open source. You can get on F-Droid. Best ever.
Elijah Clark
Signal and Wire are the only legit options.
Anthony Collins
Both require GAPPS faggot.
Anthony Perez
Can ypu send messges using the Chrome app now?
Last time i used it i could only see messeges
Jason Thomas
this. Anyone else use Silence?
Ryan Ramirez
I don't use Android so I don't give a shit. And Wire has dedicated desktop applications.
You can kill yourself at any moment.

>Use a different SIM
Lol, no thanks. A phone number is a shitty way to authenticate anyway, since it can be stolen by state actors at the very least. And if you get an extra SIM you have to keep it alive, otherwise the number gets recycled.
>How? Has it been broken?
It's broken by design. Also encryption is limited to "secret chats" only (1 on 1 messaging).
>Such as?
Calling, either voice or video.
Telegram is one of those pointless services that isn't really good at anything.
If you don't mind using your phone number and want a large userbase use Whatsapp.
If you want a phone-free option that works on multiple devices use Wire.
Hunter Hill
if you're going to do that, why would you not use Signal
Gabriel Lopez
Fakie McFakename Cease and Desisted it.
Robert Myers
>Wire
Not even open source. Disgusting.
Daniel Brown
Who cares if the client is open source, when the server isn't.
