Telegram is an encrypted instant messaging app for iOS and Android devices. Obviously, I wouldnt mention it on this blog if its crypto was perfect. In fact, its far from perfect. Its almost horrifying.

Im not sure if it was in response to some good criticism, but Telegram recently announced a crypto contest. Basically, if you can recover an email address that was encrypted with their secure messaging app, you can win $200,000 USD worth of Bitcoin.

So you're suggesting we do something like this here? To do something like a contest - "who will be able to crack our defense"? Wink

) I think it will be superfluous. Perfect defenses just yet, and if someone really wants to, he can find ways to hack it all. Yes, I am a pessimist, but still there is a fairly reliable level of protection is present.

I mean it is a really good idea in my opinion. I am not saying of copying someone else's idea, but to give someone an incentive is always nice. It is not that easy to find a way to hack something.
