• Berty (Web3 messenger) User interviews

  Hello, I work at Berty.tech as a product manager (An NGO that builds a Web3 Messenger on top of IPFS) and I'm looking to do some user interviews to get to meet the community and understand what features we should be building. I would love to meet some of you and talk about these topics! Don't hesitate to react if you are interested! Source: over 1 year ago

• Signal is secure, as proven by hackers

  Signal alternatives that are open source and cross-platform (at least Android and iOS compatibility): - [Jami](https://jami.net/) - [Berty](https://berty.tech/) - [Cwtch](https://cwtch.im/) - [SimpleX Chat](https://simplex.chat/) - [Status](https://status.im/). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• sharing information about communication methods

  Https://berty.tech/ and https://briarproject.org/ are other options. Both claim to work through Bluetooth if necessary. I no experience with either, but seems promising. Source: over 1 year ago

• I am from iran, verification code doesn't send neither by sms nor call

  Https://berty.tech is similar but also cross platform. Source: over 1 year ago

• Signal TLS Proxy

  Then you can go off network... https://berty.tech. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What do you think of the current protests in Iran?

  For when the internet is shut off consider using https://briarproject.org to still be able to send messages to friends/family. It is for android phones only but there is another open source and encrypted messenger that works without internet called https://berty.tech that works on iPhones and Android phones, although it is still in beta so its security hasnt been fully tested.

• Is mDNS enabled on the onboard Wi-Fi?

  Dang, thanks for the reply. I was hoping to use Berty (https://berty.tech/) to communicate with family members without buying an Internet package but it requires mDNS to work over WiFi. It can also work over Bluetooth but of course that range is extremely limited. Source: over 1 year ago

• Software for Android and iPhone for sending messages via LAN

  I am aware of Berty, but it seems a bit flakey - e.g. Closing itself automatically on Android. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Brair vs Signal vs Session, which is better service for privacy and security?

  I would also consider Status.im, and keep your eyes on SimpleXChat and Berty. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Offline Communication During the Long March

  First, I'd recommend Berty (https://berty.tech/) as opposed to Bridgefy due to security concerns and the fact that it is open-source. Berty can function over bluetooth just like Bridgefy, so it'll still work when the cell service goes down (albeit only at a short range). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Peer to peer messaging to defeat censorship

  Berty is an in-development open-source option that uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to communicate when LAN isn't available. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• when someone mentions web3

  It sounds similar, although not in all aspects, to what berty is, is it relevant? Source: over 2 years ago

• Any thoughts on Berty?

  Checking it out now, it looks really cool! Can't wait to try it out. Source: over 2 years ago

• MESH network based messenger?

  Berty (not released, but maybe you can get an alpha version to experiment). I'm really looking forward to experimenting with this product. I like the idea I can switch between Internet, LAN, WiFi, Bluetooth. Source: over 2 years ago

• Cwtch: Decentralized, privacy-preserving, multi-party messaging protocol

  I'm not sure if Cootch is federated, like Matrix, or peer-to-peer. I assume the first, if Tor is being used? Berry also sounds similar, although it is not released yet: https://berty.tech/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
