>Hoping for early access to BitTorrent’s first serverless chat client? We have good news. Today, we will begin letting testers try out the Pre-Alpha. We are also unveiling its name: BitTorrent Bleep. Why Bleep, you might ask? Well, basically, we never see your messages or metadata. As far as we’re concerned, anything you say is “bleep” to us.
It already looks better than Tox in pre-Alpha and they don't even need an email address to get an account when it goes stable.
Seriously, this already looks like a better Skype alternative than Tox based on what has been shown so far.
Video calls, offline messaging and Linux/Mac ports are coming, and the UI makes uTox look like shit.

>>43315427
If they release this under a free software license, then Tox is dead. Until then...
Considering BitTorrent Sync is still proprietary, I doubt this will happen soon.

Surely no one is this stupid?
Doesnt that defeat half the purpose of Tox? Its not open source
Guys I have a game, and it has "private messaging" across servers, should I encrypt all data sent by players with an option of bit-length, starting at 2048 and going up to 16384?

You know. This may be true but there is obviously a reason. We need to work on better communication and collaboration. That's really it. You think collectively we couldn't do all of these things and far more? We most certainly can, we just need to work "together" and correctly (well...?).
>>43315892
What would the point be?
Your server is the middleman. The only person that message will ever come in contact with is your server, the two players, and anyone who already MITM'd one of the players.

Just installed it. It works just like Tox. You get a public key and then you choose a display name for your friends to see and you can change the display name anytime you want. It's literally just like Tox.
Tox is fucking dead when this goes stable.
>>43316480
Tox will die if and only if we get source code for this shit. Until then, it's just MPAA-sponsored malware.
>>43316249
you can look at the source............................................................................................................
If it's not open source, it has something to hide. There's no other reason for it to be closed source.

Or you can not be a douche bag, and encourage them instead.
>>43316586
>There's no other reason for it to be closed source.
How about paying developers? If its open source, you can just fork it and not pay the developers a dime.

>>43316634
>Can I add my AIM, Yahoo!, MSN and Skype accounts?

>>43316677
uTorrent ads.
>closed source
>secure
Jesus fucking christ, it's like no one has damned brain anymore
>>43316677
Because Bittorrent Inc. is a corporation and they have developers to pay salaries to. When BT Sync and Bleep go stable, their installers will have ads and partnered software offerings to monetize them.
>>43316623
Developers are payed by the company, they care jack shit what they do with the software after that because they have already been payed.
Freeware, therefore, is a retarded concept and has no purpose. If they are distributing it for free this means they are technically not getting any benefits from it, so why not make it libre?
At best it will be proprietary to add shitty ad services and avoid forks without them (not like ads can't be blocked without taking a peek at the source code though, therefore it's still retarded), at worst it will include nasty spyware.

Somebody forks your software. Nobody uses your software anymore because it has ad offers in the installer and just use the libre ones without ads. Developers stop getting paid, and development grinds to a halt. Project over.
Keeping it closed source is the only way for a corporation to hire fulltime developers to maintain this.
If you don't want to use it, just use Tox. Most people will instead be using Bleep, though, because Tox will have zero marketshare compared to Bleep, because of marketing, corporate support, resources, etc.
>>43316717
>And until you prove empirically that it has malware on it, it's just a conspiracy/paranoia

This is solved with marketing since people who genuinely want to avoid ads will still block them. It's not hard to modify your hosts file and some programs even do it automatically.

Firefox is a non-profit corporation that is mostly funded by Google.

Out of the two, Bleep seems slightly less likely to bite you in the ass.
>>43316850
What about Chrome, I'm sure nobody uses that either.
>>43316850
I mean Mozilla
>>43316827
Firefox has "ads" actually, just functional ones. Still, even if there was a fork that stripped them down only a few people would use it.
You can already block said ads in Firefox by modifying a few settings, so people who genuinely don't want them don't even need a fucking fork for that.
>>43316850
Mozilla has profits.
At least they did.

I am definitely going to use Bleep over Tox because:
1) People will actually use Bleep, probably in the millions.
2) It will be so fucking easy to use that my mother will use it.
3) The email address support alone will make people want to use Bleep over Tox because if your computer dies, Tox will lose your buddy list unless you do a manual backup while Bleep will have your email address handy as a backup in case your computer dies.

Alright, this is now officially suspicious. A lot of fags were arguing here some posts before that it was closed source to keep ads in place. Now, how the fuck are they gonna justify it being proprietary?
Stuff like this should be open source, even if it wasn't free. If they just decided to close the source and they aren't going to plan on getting money from it in any conventional ways, then there is enough reason there to not touch this piece of spyware in your life.

I didn't know Tox was such a threat to the NSA.
>>43317220
skype was well known to be the most secure messaging service of all when it came out, and for several years after.
there were numerous stories about governments banning skype usage because they couldn't spy on the conversations going through the network. India was one of them.
And then skype got bought out by Microsoft and 2 years later we are informed by Edward Snowden that Skype and Outlook Online are wide open to the NSA, but only the NSA because terrorism.
Skype *was* encrypted. It isn't anymore
>>43317041
I doubt you were even around before netscape went under and founded mozilla.
firefox exists because IE 6 was BROKEN, completely broken, barely useable. Non-standardized web was in disarray because of it.
the first time I used FF was on a school computer, I had no idea it was netscape code (not stating an opinion of netscape), and at first I hated it because it wasnt internet explorer, then I realized I hated internet explorer.
and gecko wont die, if anything spider-monkey will be replaced with v8. and it probably wont be in a year or two.

You people are delusional if you REALLY believe that anyone is trying to compete with little known software made by a bunch of neckbeards.
Tox was made as an alternative to Skype. Firefox just came out with their own video and voice calling, and Bitorrent is releasing Bleep. Both are just competing with the already established giant, which is Skype.
>>43317812

>>43317751
you really think that the mpaa owns the company that created the bittorrent protocol and publishes the most popular torrent client?
you really think you can win in the free market with an inferior product?
I'm not saying that anything the bit torrent people have done recently has any merit, but what you are talking about has no basis in reality.
>>43317678
Group video is being developed in a separate repository and is nearing completion.
The design of offline messaging is already done, along with most of the implementation (which was actually written as part of the group chat stuff originally, as announce messages for group chats). You're very naive if you think Bleep has been developed overnight, it's likely been in development for as long as Tox has, if not longer. I'd be very surprised if Bleep gets group video chats within the next half a year, but Tox is nearly there.

you can infringe on an implementation or design, but not an idea.
>>43317903
Tox stole the ideas from other projects and just said "let's incorporate this stuff into a clone of skype." It's not really a huge brain wave to have.
What is the motive of this people desperately defending Bleep? Why do they hate Tox so much? Why are they so desperate for something to 'kill' Tox, rather than something they can use for secure messaging? They seem to not even care about the actual software, only that it kills Tox.
>>43317635

Why do you Tox devs have to make 7 different Linux clients? Why can't you stop being autistic and make just one Linux client?
Also, how much money do you think you will make by selling Tox t-shirts? You guys are talking about that in your thread right tnow, right? Do you think you guys will be able to scam some money out of people by selling t-shirts now?
>>43318061
All of that is coming to Bleep. Bleep already does audio calls.
>>43318022
It's currently pretty fucking usable retard.
Not for daily use but any retard like you can download a zip file and run it to chat with someone. No effort needed.

lol holy shit they are
>>43317965
it's just people either joking, or they believe that the only thing tox was being made for was being decentralized, which bleep apparently is, too
>>43318094
>tox devs
Because there aren't "tox devs". There are people that decide they want to help with something. Tox doesn't employ people (besides GSoC). You can't force someone who only knows C to work on a Vala client, or vice versa. You've got the people who know C all working on one client, and the people who know Vala all working on another client. How hard is that to understand? If we said let's just have one client, then all the Vala devs would be sat there doing fucking nothing. Holy shit I can't figure out whether the average /g/ user has an IQ of 65 or there's some serious fucking shilling going on.

So it doesn't have it yet, while Tox does. Group video chat is coming to Tox, but it's not confirmed to be coming to Bleep.
>>43318004
That may be so. What I mean is that there will be those that see Bleep and want something that's open-source instead, both users and developers. Tox supporters just need to advertize Tox whenever Bleep is mentioned anywhere.
>>43318217
>Group video chat is coming to Tox,
They can claim that, but it doesn't mean it will happen.
It's been over a year and Tox isn't even working well at basic shit on any platform.

That is the opinion of a LOSER.
Are you a LOSER anon?
/g/ is not full of LOSERs, at least some of /g/ are WINNERS and some of those WINNERs are working on Tox RIGHT NOW.
Only a LOSER would think Tox is kill, real WINNERs would never give up on Tox on some FUD.
Tox is not kill.
Tox is WINNER.
>>43318237
>What I mean is that there will be those that see Bleep and want something that's open-source instead, both users and developers.
Yeah, a meaningless number of people. Bleep is already being Tox with one pre-Alpha on one platform.
Gee, who owns bittorrent again? FUCK THAT.
>>43318261
You LITERALLY just said the same damn thing for Bleep. Bleep can claim what they like, but it doesn't mean it's true. They can claim it's secure but that doesn't mean they haven't put a backdoor in it, and you have no way of checking.
How long do you think Bleep has been in development for anyway? Fuck you're retarded.
>>43318289
>Gee, who owns bittorrent again?
Who?
>>43318312
stop swearing please

Nobody gives a fat shit about bleep. I'd much rather use something made by /g/ neckbeards than something made by neckbeards somewhere else.

>>43319185
He's referring to you blaming open source software for being open source rather than proprietary software for leeching code.
>>43319297
This is the disadvantage of open source and the reason why proprietary exists..
Proprietary can't leech anything if you protect your source code.
>>43319363
You shouldn't have to "protect" your source code in the first place.

Except it is protected, legally under the GPL. I was for permissive licenses like MIT/BSD, but GPLfags really do have a point.
I kind of wish Tox were as easy/simple to set up and use as Skype.
Sure, not everyone I know would use it, but if it is p2p and could offer better better video quality as a result, I'm sure my lady and family would use it when we talk to each other.

How big of a dumbfuck are you? Tox is open source text, voice, and video with solid cryptography.
This Bleep bullshit is closed source and from an organization that is pretty much a known collaborator.
I wonder which one I trust more.
>>43322068
They're doing even worse in /r/technology and if you look at the comments it's people warning people that it's probably backdoored and that it's useless because it's closed source.
>>43315427
This. I wouldn't install Tox even if someone paid me.

>>43322294
Yeah, I wasn't quite expecting that from them. Impressed.
>>43322068
Wait, were the Tox devs really stupid enough to not gpl, and thus, allowed this?
>>43322359
Tox is GPL.
>>43322384
So then if this is actually just ripping from Tox, it's illegal, and will get shut down.
In that case, someone contact the FSF.
How do you prove that some closed source software stole code?

Checking for same behavior, quirks, etc.
Same way people check if someone used something proprietary without permission.

When the Soviets reverse engineered the B52 they even managed to include all the little fuckups and mistakes in the design and manufacture, too.
>>43322426
Are there any cases where a closed source software stole and used open source code and got found out?
What sort of punishments could you get from doing that?
>>43322398
Bleep is closed source, so you can't prove it unless >>43322426.
>>43322384
Correction: Tox is harmfully licensed as GPLv3+ with non-free logos, and doesn't obey the DFSG. The developers have built proprietary tools and released them on GitHub. Even the documentation is incompatible with the software, and was non-free.
No efforts have been made to solve these issues.
Pic related, stqism being a faggot after the Tox logo got removed from Wikimedia Commons for violating copyright. It still remains deleted.

Sounds to me like Bleep is just jumping on the bandwagon of shit like WhatsApp and Snapchat.
>>43322589
even better discourse please continue flinging shit in a /b/ tier fashion surely that will convince 3rd parties to side with you. also i am not AP but tox is literally a gargantuan sack of dismembered penises.
