@fatboy I don't see any mention of open source so I guess we just take their word on everything?

@fatboyI've heard bits. Apparently they're using SMS/MMS as a communication channel to do encrypted chat. It's not clear whether it's like TLS on TCP, or more like steganographic SMS.They mention something about one sending to other Silent users and not having any centralized servers, so it sounds like some key exchange is happening P2P.They say they use similar protocols to Signals I think, but build traceability is unclear.
