Hi,

I’ve just tested SimpleX. Great piece of software, all the options are really well thought …

Sadly it’s not P2P (all the messages pass by servers… ) is there a way to make-it P2P ?

Thanks.

    Simple x is open federation. So to make it P2P you and your friend just need to run simple x relay servers. Then it would be P2P

    The idea behind the open federation model, is anybody could run a server preventing a single point of failure.

    Briar is the gold standard, but if you think about it, they’re using Tor as their relay servers.

    Both models require a relay of some description
