Skype sucks royal shite, and several quick google searches turned up little in terms of encrypted chat programs. Jitsi looks to be the best i found, but it requires accounts from other programs. Is there any encrypted chat program that offers a quarter of the functionality of skype, without the governmental ass rape?
Irc isn't inherently encrypted. Also, anyone can see it. I was looking for something encrypted from the ground up, not some plugin that is highly exploitable. and irc doesn't do video.
Yeah, it can. But i'm also looking for a video capable chat program. To my knowledge, irc doesn't do video. and while i can get the plugins to encrypt it, i'd figure i'd try to find some FOSS that is inherently encrypted.
