@rakoo stay tuned :) but we will not compromise on reliability, efficiency and ease of use which means we tread carefully. Instead of a distributed hash table (dht) we are to use the massively scaled e-mail system for bootstrapping P2P connectivity and paradigms. Any P2P system needs a bootstrapping mechanism, if not email it would be "root" servers and they are way less federated and decentralized than email :) but more when the time comes as we prefer delivering working code not ideas.
@delta @rakoo I think P2P messaging has too many hurdles to overcome and is a big technical challenge. First there is the NAT/Firewall problem and second there is smartphones' battery optimisers which essentially forbids keeping a connection at all times.
Come to think of it, I haven't used DeltaChat in over a year, but I love the idea. How does it handle mobile push notifications (if at all)?
