No no no. Tell me how Durov, or someone else get access to my one-to-one crypto chat, if I compile mtproto self from github? You white hacker? Great. Try it and if you can you will be money rewarded. 500 dollars. OK?
P.S. If you will have problem with get money from Russia as we have problems to get money from Europe, I can send you money with crypto.
As a separate statement: they can’t (probably).
In context of the discussion: they don’t need to, because secret chats are so inconvenient and fussy that they are seldom used. There is a lot of crime happening in public groups/channels, in “private” groups chats that can not be encrypted, or in 1-on-1’s that are not secret. Telegram has the ability to stop all of that with just some moderation, or turn messages over to the authorities, but they don’t. Which is precisely why Durov is in custody right now. If he actually made a messenger with good, convenient end-to-end encryption, he would be in the same situation with Signal authors, who have perfect deniability since they can’t read anything their users have sent up until this point.
You didn’t understand why I quoted that part the first time around. Let’s try it again.
And why? because no one do that in real? So, you see on it different if you life or your freedom depends on the messenger. No all countries looks like EU. In my Android phone self compiled linphone and self compiled telegram client. That’s my reality.
P.S. On the other hand, apple still fulfills all the requirements of the Russian authorities in the Russian store. By the way, the store works great. Why do you think that the same thing is not being done in other countries?
@nitrolife @troed
What made you think Telegram was secure in the first place?
Personally, I am studying the protocol. Do you have any exact data on how to hack a one-to-one crypted chat? I am ready to buy this information from you for money, if it is real.
