Tox Instant Messenger?
I am a member!
This is billing itself as a FOSS replacement for Skype, with encrypted, peer-to-peer instant messaging, file transfer, and audio/video calls and conferencing; I'm interested in trying it. Is anyone using it? I installed a client on a machine with the Arch GNU/Linux distro; there's a GTK client called Venom in the Arch User Repository; I think anyone can just clone from git, build from sources, and install.
Tox home page is here:
I'm testing it on GNU/Linux and Android. Very promising project. Apparently they were approached by the FSF to become a GNU project but they declined.
Is Tox GPL? I installed one of the recommended packages from tox.im/Binaries and have the program open. How do I make an account?
Edit: found this page but still not sure how to find my ID
