  While I appreciate the joke, I have not seen that problem in quite some time :D

    I’ve last seen it last month. And I have an old chat, where FluffyChat and (“old”) Element show all messages by now, but Element X can’t decrypt many and both Elements report that they can’t guarantee the authenticity of many messages (even my own). For a long time, my chat partner could only read messages I sent via FluffyChat but not those sent by Element. I have not checked if that is still the case.

      definetly report the problem. there’s a function for it in the app, 3 points menu on the chat list menu, use it after making those errors show up. tick the contact me box. ceo recommends to also notify himself directly: gist.github.com/…/190ad712965d0f06e17f508d1a45b55…

      “can’t guarantee the authenticity of this message” just means it was restored from backup. In the same vein, if you can decrypt a message in any client, it should upload the keys to the message backup so it can be decrypted on other clients, even ones that haven’t logged in.

      Some months ago, I had UTD issues with Element X too. My hs has been up for some years, and the devs claimed they had done a lot to fix UTDs.

      I was about to bring the server down, but as a last resort decided to log out all but one Element web session which was able to decrypt the messages and try resetting the key backup. Haven’t had any UTD issues since then.

      Maybe worth a try.

  This is quite annoying. When will devs learn to tell people to resolve the problem instead of just showing a pointless error messages?

    afaik those errors can’t really be solved by users. I mean other than using an up to date client and server.

      If users cannot do anything because all encryption keys are lost, then they need to know that and also how to avoid the situation in the future.

      I think it’s not a bug. It’s simply no one online who can share a decryption key.

        its often a bug, because the clients who have the keys don’t know they should retry sending.

        but also it’s all been fixed a year ago as I know. I don’t usually use dm rooms and public ones are not encrypted, so I wouldn’t know if I didn’t read about it.

        Matrix encryption keys don’t need other people online - they get queued up as messages for each device you have.

  I’ve only seen this message in the last months where different servers are having network issues and can’t talk
