Hello, is the network connection to the SimpleX network made same way as in Session messenger (single point of failure in the form of several seed/bootstrap nodes “hardocded” in the client software, the nodes which hostnames/IPs can be blocked on ISP/government firewalls) ?

If you know any detail on how it works, please link. Thank you

    I don’t think so. In my SimpleX client there’s a list a available servers but there’s also an option to add custom servers.

    This article explains how to host your own server if you don’t want to or can’t use one of the default servers.

      The question becomes, if you have an identity and network graph using x servers. And then those x servers are blocked. Now you spin up a new server, will your social graph be aware of this new server? Are you going to be cut off from your old social graph?
