  Please tell us more about the actual security problems!

    Have you actually dug into the internals? It is pretty bad. Large poorly maintained code base with poor cryptography. Theoretically it is fine but I’d rather use Signal.

      No, I rarely read the code of software I use, especially crypto code since thant’s not my thing. But good to know that you did. Thanks for your opinion.

      It’s true there are a lot of better alternatives to jami when it comes to privacy/security: Here’s a good comparison in a table:

  Care to expand on that? I am seriously considering that as part of my post-skype future.

    I would look into Jami, Signal and maybe Simplex Chat

  Im using it for 3 months now and I did not notice any stability issue. One time I experienced a long delay in receiving a message.

  Do you have any details on why its a security nightmare?

  All communications are peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted.

    It is a massive code base which doesn’t seem to get a lot of maintenance due to lack of developers. Jami also lacks a security audit which doesn’t build confidence

    From a security perspective it uses dTLS which isn’t great for metadata sensitive applications. Message delivery is also finicky since it depends on peers working reliably.
