"We gave them $14 million to work on the protocol."
Jack Dorsey/Blue Sky are/were morons apparently. Rich, but ignorant, what a terrible combination.
Imagine what Pekka Riikonen would have done to improve SILC with $14 million?!
SILC was ALREADY libre/free open source and a protocol before Twitter ever existed.
SILC ALREADY had end to end encryption! It even implemented PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy) before SSL/TLS tried to do so.
SILC even attempts to mitigate eavesdropping of its users' communications from hostile server operators, something which almost no other realtime encrypted comms protocol even seems to realize is a threat.
Why do the morons get all the money while the people who actually advance the state of the art tend to get ignored and forgotten to obscurity?
