The current protocol is really simple but has some shortcomings that I'm
looking at fixing with version 2.

These are in the plans to some extent, encryption might drive additional
challenges for some platforms. Decentralization is another thing I'd like to
add, at this stage I'm looking at remove SPOF by having a multiple hub model.
Complete decentralization may come to life at a later time.
