Quality and security of tox
Unfortunately I didn't copy or log it, but recently I found some discussion about the security level of tox. Can some of you give me or end me to information about this? If the quality is good it looks like a good solution but if there are serious issues about functionality or security it's no use.
If you answer and you're somehow affiliated with tox, please inform about it.
I am a bit surprised that no one has answered this post. I would imagine the question of tox's quality as interesting and/or important to users of Trisquel.
I hope someone will comment on this.
When I tried to use Tox it was really buggy and crashed a lot, and video didn't work. This was about 6 months ago, and I hope it is more stable now.
I tried it shortly for a chat a while ago. It seemed ok. Even if it's not super smooth it look promising - provided that it really does pose an alternative with regards to security and privacy.
Do you know anything about that?
Tox has very good security, because it is secure by design at a low level (the protocol)however this does create some usability drama (as with all secure software) and they also have a shortage of devs ( C programming language if I'm not wrong)

Today I tried the live iso of parabola mate on a new old lappy I got and I was very surprised to find qtox there, which btw contradicts what I was saying about not shipping unaudited alfa software in a distro. Apparently some distros do. Not tht I wish to imply anything negative about it. I have used briefly utox and I find it very good. But as far as security, I can not tell. I did not review the source code, for I can not do it. so, yeah, it may be secure. It may be not. Trust the developers when you can not trust the code. Are the developers trustworthy? I don't know.
