This is exceptional. This truly looks like the perfect decentralised chat service.

I really hope this takes off, but knowing most people, it will likely remain niche for a long while till something like Signal falls (which I don't wish for to happen btw).

Is there a whitepaper or anything else that explains the details of the privacy measures? I skimmed through the README, but I'd like more detail.

Thank you for bringing this to the open. I hope that as time goes on, this gets more attention and gets adopted by the community (I can't force my family to use anything other than corporate spyware, and I personally have no need for chat apps, but I hope someone does).

Thanks

Here's the paper they linked to from the README: https://berty.tech/docs/protocol/
