It’s not finished or anything, but I want potential vulnerabilities brought to my attention as soon as possible.

    As for offline receiving: are you suggesting storing messages in a DHT so that the recipient can receive them while you’re offline? That crossed my mind early in planning, but we decided against it because we don’t want to store things on peers that might go down at any time, and I’m not sure how it could work with forward secrecy anyway since every message requires a handshake (well, maybe if we used the axolotl/double rachet thingy, but that’s so much more complicated, I would not trust myself to implement it).

      Yes I was thinking about that dht use and I came across bitTorrent’s implementation of kademlia dht for trackerless torrents. You should look it up! More peers that are logically near the recipient keep the information so it is resistant to actors coming on and going off the dht.
