To all open source, decentralized, privacy minded bitcoin lovin cryptogeeks out there:
There's a new encrypted communications service hosted out of Iceland that I started using with some friends last week. So far, I'm loving it.
They offer encrypted phone calls, SMS and chat with file transfers for Android based smartphones. I have a buddy that only uses iPhones, and even he was able to use their secure service.
The best part is they don't seem interested in collecting your private info unlike most other companies out there. And that's a refreshing change. All you need to give them is an email address.
And, of course, they accept Bitcoins and Litecoins, among other payment options.
If anyone's interested in protecting their privacy and preserving anonymity, check them out at
https://www.fortknox.isI've emailed them and asked if they would consider a special discount for the bitcoin community since it fits in well with their service.
Hopefully I'll get back a positive response soon. If so I'll post the info here.
