XC offers both completely anonymous transactions and instant p2p encrypted messaging. In other words, XC offers a complete platform that protects one's rights to privacy. Bye NSA.
working or vaporware? when is all this stuff supposed to happen, rev 3? release date?
Once again, this stuff has released already.
To sum it all up:
Rev 2.45 (private payments).
XChat RC 6 (true P2P instant messaging with end-to-end encryption)
XC TOR Stick (releasing on Thursday; doesn't use TOR exit nodes so packet sniffers can't find you)
It's been confirmed by the developers that XChat will include
voice calling in post-Rev 3 editions, and
video calling further into the future.
So basically we have a decentralised, private, Skype.
