Rename LibreSignal #38

Open vanitasvitae opened 8 years ago

vanitasvitae commented 8 years ago

According to #37 (if we continue LibreSignal at all) we should rename LibreSignal.

My suggestion would be "Frequency".

What do you think? Is it too early to discuss this?

My suggestion would be "Frequency".

Nice suggestion. But renaming a dead horse will not make it alive again. We need to solve the core Issue.

paride commented 8 years ago

I think that "Noise" would be more fun, but @SecUpwN is right, the core issue should be solved first.

The trademark Open Whisper Systems claims to have it seems to be abandoned. What does that mean in US law?

mimi89999 commented 8 years ago

What about the icon?

vanitasvitae commented 8 years ago

We should definitely change it in time.

mimi89999 commented 8 years ago

But did they register it?

Diapolo commented 8 years ago

If Signal was build upon a p2p system that horse would be rather alive ;). I don't think it's dead or there is no need for it anymore. Name and icon is solvable... problem could be/is the server side :-(.

Anyway, I don't know any working alternative, do you guys? I'm in search of a SMS-like program that doesn't leak meta data, foss and easy to use (to convince contacts to use it).

mimi89999 commented 8 years ago

@cRaZy-bisCuiT I recommend Conversations. It is an Android XMPP client. It supports OMEMO encryption. As for metadata, the server can collect it, but since XMPP is a federated network, you can choose your server or even host your own.

cRaZy-bisCuiT commented 8 years ago

Thank you very much, I'll have a look on that!

vanitasvitae commented 8 years ago

@mimi89999 Aren't both servers (the sending and the receiving server) collecting metadata?

mimi89999 commented 8 years ago

AFAIK your server knows: if/when you are online, time of sending messages, to whom, your IP and the message content if it isn't encrypted. Your contact's server knows about you: When you are online, time of sending messages to contacts on that server, to what user on that server and the message content if it isn't encrypted.

I might me incorrect because I am not an expert in XMPP...
