Not a bad investment as privacy is becoming more sought after now. However, for convenience it would be better to simply use an app on your phone rather than carry two devices around. Better to invest in Crypviser, product is almost ready and will be first to the market. Available now on bitshares and soon on hitbtc https://ico.crypviser.net/

I do not think so...
1. Paranoya does not use a mobile network.The messages tunnels via WiFi through our own servers located in Switzerland.ParaNoYa doesn't record messages and messaging metadata anywhere, neither in the application nor on the server.
2. If you install any messenger on your device, it automatically reduces its security. The "penetrate" in these messengers is possible through the firmware, third-party applications, etc.
3. The gadget will run ParaNoYa application only and uses minimal viable firmware. ParaNoYa OS is based on Android OS and hardened to prevent attacks. ParaNoYa OS is free of any services and all bloatware, communication module is also excluded. This makes your protection much stronger:
- Tremendously reduced attack surface
- No personal data needed
- No geo-location traced
- No messaging metadata collected
- No backdoors to spy on you

So, the name was chosen not by chance. Indeed, if you have enough security settings for a regular messenger, or a messenger with blockchain, you do not need this gadget.
This device is designed for people who understand all the levels of threats and risks.
This device is for people who would prefer a personal meeting for transfer information, rather than an application on the phone.

I'm interested in such a problem with using only wifi tunnels.

If Paranoya does not use a mobile network, does this device protects data from such a problem like sniffing of wifi hotspots?
