## Announcing SimpleX Chat Prototype!

For the last six months [me](https://github.com/epoberezkin) and my son [Efim](https://github.com/efim-poberezkin) have been working to bring you a working prototype of SimpleX Chat. We're excited to announce SimpleX Chat terminal client is now available [here](https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat) on Linux, Windows and Mac (you can either build from source or download the binary for Linux, Windows or Mac from the latest release).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We’ve been using the terminal client between us and a few other people for a couple of months now, eating our own “dog food”, and have developed up to version 0.3.1, with most of the messaging protocol features we originally planned
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Features
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- End-to-end encryption with protection from man in the middle attack. The connection invitation must be passed out-of-band (see [how to use SimpleX Chat](https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat#how-to-use-simplex-chat) in the repo).
|
|||
|
|
- No global identity or any usernames visible to the server(s), ensuring full privacy of your contacts and conversations.
|
|||
|
|
- Message signing and verification with automatically generated RSA keys, with keys being unique per each connection.
|
|||
|
|
- Authorization of each command/message by the servers with automatically generated RSA key pairs, also unique per connection.
|
|||
|
|
- Message integrity validation (via passing the digests of the previous messages).
|
|||
|
|
- Encrypted TCP transport, independent of certificates.
|
|||
|
|
- You can deploy your own server, but you don’t have to - the demo SMP server to relay your messages is available at smp1.simplex.im:5223 (pre-configured in the client).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### We need your help!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We're building a new kind of chat network - the only network that lets you control your chat. We'd really appreciate your feedback, criticism and support - a star on the github repo, signing up to the mailing list or any contribution to the project will help. There is so much more to do!
