Hard to do, as then one with a slow PC or average phone would have the same experience as one with a very good PC and 10 alts.\ PoW only is effective for large spam / bot campaigns.

I agree. But at least hCaptchas don’t block you if you use more aggressive privacy-enhancing plugins and they are fun to solve (and don’t require you to find the traffic-light 20 times because your connection is a bit sus.)

And also yes, fuck Cloudflare.

Maybe replace Googles Captcha with an alternative like hCaptcha.

Except when the trolls have more free-time than oneself and so can place every 30s while oneself want to get other things done and so would prefer placing in batches.

Same with people who use VPN per default.

Well, it is afraid of having the same color in both eyes.

I personally don’t as it often get confused with the Facebook logo.

How should we decide which to use?

Edit: now that it is finished, I think it doesn’t matter anymore.

As far as I know the SimpleX team adds their servers to the preconfigured list of servers in the app.
So if you host SMP servers for others, you could share their QR code (along with a quick description) in some forum or your own website (I know a hoster of serval private services who also maintains SMP nodes).

For info about hosting such a server, see here.

I see what you mean, so let me try to explain:
You don’t have an ID for the account (like a username, random number or even public key) but instead an address for your chat with someone (this is the queue where your chatpartner sends their messages to). So every address is unique only per chat, no unique ID per account or so.

If you still have questions about the SimpleX system, feel free to ask and I will give you useful links.

Bekommt ein Sternchen.

SimpleX isn’t able to share your profile-data between devices. Instead you connect with e.g. the desktop app to the phone to use the phone-profile, but it need to stay online, which can be inconvenient.

With the CLI version you are able to run it on some (private) server and then connect the phone and desktop app to it. But it is still not really convenient, as you need to establish a tunnel (for example SSH port forwarding) to the server (the clients don’t support connecting via internet URL the last time I checked).

As far as I know you still need a phone number to create an account. But for connecting you can use the new usernames (and make sure to disable automatic number sharing with contacts in the settings).

SimpleX doesn’t need a phone. The desktop app can run standalone or linked to the phone-profile (but the phone must stay connected for that).
They also have a CLI version (which you can use as a central hub for your profile).

Session is cool but sometimes unreliable in the delivery.

SimpleX is also quite interesting. But I don’t use it enough to say something about the reliablity.

I have the “cilantro tastes so that I need to throw up” gene but I don’t smell ants.

In any Base-x system, one digit goes up to x - 1 (with base > 10 we use alphabet letters), then the next digit (to the left) is incremented.
So in our normal Base-10 system, you count up from 0 to 9 and then add a digit in the front and reset the other digits to get 10.

This means, that in every Base-x system ‘10’ equals x.
So you can make the “There 10 types of people …” with every base as ‘10’ in Base-2 means 2, 3 in Base-3 and so on.

You forgot the ones who expected it to be in base 4.

But as you mention, NaN propagates.
So at checkout, your wallet will become NaN, as the shops money balance. Then it will spread to your bank account and before you realize what happens the whole banking-district is in flames.
