I take the credit for discovering it. It looks fantastic with all the features that it has. Currently testing it with people. Wanna try it out with me? PM me for my ID.

Sounds awesome, I'll get on board too. I'd like to know who is behind it however. Any info on that?

Indeed! Thanks for finding it!

It seems like a big step up, right out of the package - if people can learn it. I have torrenting clients that I don't even know how half of it works. This seems like that but more practical and socially oriented - yet technical for the security minded. With a little practice I'm sure it will become second nature.

It doesn't even need a website.

I just looked, and it has active development with 63 guys. https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare (By comparison qBittorrent has 201 guys. https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent) They use C++ Python JavaScript Shell PHP - all Greek to me. I'd ask DioJr about it but... /u/d3rr, does this seem okay and/or interesting to you?

I also learned about PalTalk this week from my neighbour who used it 15 years ago. I looked it up and in the screenshots seems similar, but it's proprietary and will less features. Obviously it would have been different back then too. Interesting history of being patent trolls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paltalk
