Hi

I may be wrong, but can someone help me interpret the results of this analysis correctly?

https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/0a0238f85b8a559e8ab54f67920004db3a67a39bdbdbfa00075fd7d27e41dec4/672423b56b46e4feb006681d

See the Network Related section: Why does Simplex.apk have a hardcoded communication with

issuetracker.google.com

android.googlesource.com

developers.google.com

An app that is advertised as the most privacy-friendly?

All other indicators can (probably) be considered false positives (for example, the Camera permission, which is needed for video calls)

Hi,

SimpleX github conversations closed ??

I wanted to post this as a conversation then convert into an issues on github but it seem the github conversation of this project are closed... (we can't create new one) Do you know why ?

I've installed simpleX onfez android phones. it work smoothly. but for one of those phone (Android 14) the messages are only received and send when I restart the apps then no more. in Your settings\settings\Network & servers\network connection

The WiFi dot is red !

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

Is there an official statement on how SimpleX is pronounced?

Is it "simple ecks"? Is it just the English word, "simplex"? Is it something else?

If there is no official statement, how do the developers say it?

Downloaded the release 6.0.0-beta1 pre-release version of AppImage to my Qubes-Whonix. Then, created an encrypted archive (18 MB) of my android simplex using simplex app, and got my download link for migration to the desktop app. On the desktop appimage, I pasted this link, and it has been "DOWNLOADING LINK DETAILS" for 15 minutes now. Is this feature working yet, or am I waiting in vain?

Unfortunately simplex uses way too much battery on my unisoc tablet. It is also still quite high on an older qualcomm phone. Is there room for improvement with updates or is this the limitation of lower end hardware?

Hello, is the network connection to the SimpleX network made same way as in Session messenger (single point of failure in the form of several seed/bootstrap nodes "hardocded" in the client software, the nodes which hostnames/IPs can be blocked on ISP/government firewalls) ?

If you know any detail on how it works, please link. Thank you

Hi everyone.

I'm curious to understand what could happened to simpleX if the new "security" plan in EU gets voted?

Because I'm not versed enough with the political and legal wording in thoses papers I've got a hard time to actually understand.

• Will simpleX be obligated to comply?
• Will simpleX retire from EU?
• Would It be illegal to use simpleX if the bill passes?
• Could we still use simpleX with a proxy/VPN from a country outside of EU?
• ...

I'm genuinely concerned about what I'm reading here and there on lemmy... I hope someone could give me some interesting point of view.

Thanks.

Hi people,

Is possible to scheduled messages in simpleX similiar to telegram?

To the developer working on SimpleX,

Why are you still using Microsoft Github ? (and by extend Reddit ! )

I had myself a question for the maintainers. I was planning to use the discussions and to do so, create an account :'( But it seem that Microsoft really doesn't like Tor:

Cheers.

The talk was made when v5.2 was the latest, with lots of progress since:

• local file encryption
• desktop client
• using mobile from desktop etc.

Thank you!

As far as I understand it, the relay servers only hold the messages until they are delivered, but what happens if they can never get delivered? Does the server just endlessly accumulate these messages in limbo, and never purge them, or are they on a timer? Even if they are on a timer, if a group chat with one abandoned user has a large enough volume of messages, they could theoretically overwhelm the server's storage.

Update

I have received an official response on this from the SimpleX Chat team:

the servers hold the messages for 21 days if they are not received

From the group chat:

Hello all!

SimpleX Chat v5.4 is released - link mobile and desktop apps via secure quantum resistant protocol, and much better groups!

Once you upgrade, join the new users' group via this link https://simplex.chat/contact#/?v=1-4&smp=smp%3A%2F%2FPQUV2eL0t7OStZOoAsPEV2QYWt4-xilbakvGUGOItUo%3D%40smp6.simplex.im%2Fos8FftfoV8zjb2T89fUEjJtF7y64p5av%23%2F%3Fv%3D1-2%26dh%3DMCowBQYDK2VuAyEAQqMgh0fw2lPhjn3PDIEfAKA_E0-gf8Hr8zzhYnDivRs%253D%26srv%3Dbylepyau3ty4czmn77q4fglvperknl4bi2eb2fdy2bh4jxtf32kf73yd.onion&data=%7B%22type%22%3A%22group%22%2C%22groupLinkId%22%3A%22lBPiveK2mjfUH43SN77R0w%3D%3D%22%7D and find other groups in SimpleX directory https://simplex.chat/contact#/?v=1-4&smp=smp%3A%2F%2Fu2dS9sG8nMNURyZwqASV4yROM28Er0luVTx5X1CsMrU%3D%40smp4.simplex.im%2FeXSPwqTkKyDO3px4fLf1wx3MvPdjdLW3%23%2F%3Fv%3D1-2%26dh%3DMCowBQYDK2VuAyEAaiv6MkMH44L2TcYrt_CsX3ZvM11WgbMEUn0hkIKTOho%253D%26srv%3Do5vmywmrnaxalvz6wi3zicyftgio6psuvyniis6gco6bp6ekl4cqj4id.onion.

Posting here since they did not.

I am managing SimpleX public groups list...

I tried as in the doc, but ran into

[__0] rejecting: aeson-2.2.0.0, aeson-2.1.2.1, aeson-2.1.2.0, aeson-2.1.1.0,
aeson-2.1.0.0 (constraint from user target requires ==2.0.3.0)

You can search for public groups via the experimental SimpleX Directory Service: connect to it via this address.

Mobile apps public beta v5.3 are released:

• delivery receipts
• new layout in groups
• new UX for incognito mode
• etc.

Desktop app beta is now usable, please try it: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/releases/tag/v5.3.0-beta.5

Greetings. I exported my data from my iOS device and then put it in the default directory in Windows. When I run the simplex-chat command I get this error, what is the reason?

I just updated, thanks for your great work.

• how does it work without user IDs
• desktop app demo (1:15) – you can already download beta version for Mac and Linux from GitHub
• how to set up your relay (3:51)
• how SimpleX Chat is funded (11:25)
• the problems and the future of groups (18:23)
• the demo of SimpleX Directory Service (25:20)
• Q&A (28:51)

Join us online on Thursday at 10am PT/1pm ET/6pm UK at https://stream.simplex.chat

We will:

• demo the new desktop app.
• show how to set up SimpleX servers with dual address (public+onion).
• share the plan for SimpleX group and communities.
• possibly, show one more thing.

#OpenSource #Security #Privacy

The post about v5.2: https://simplex.chat/blog/20230722-simplex-chat-v5-2-message-delivery-receipts.html

The app is available in all channels via the links on the website or via [GitHub release] – the main F-Droid repo is coming soon.

If you use Android, make sure to use the build 134 - the previous one had a database performance issue causing very slow message delivery.

Join our event on 7/27 at 17:00 UTC (6pm UK, 10am PT):

• demo of the new desktop app 🚀
• platform evolution:
  • what's coming for groups and communities.
  • why we don't plan read receipts for now.
• demo how to host a server with dual public+tor address in Ubuntu VM, so that users who prefer to connect to onion addresses can communicate with you via your self-hosted server even if you don't use Tor - it's much simpler than you think.

Mark your calendar, the link to connect is coming soon, it won't require any registration.

You will be able to ask any questions in this SimpleX group: #SimpleX-Event-2023-07-27

like, if I send the QR code to someone I want to talk to via email, anyone intercepting this message will at the very least know my SimpleX address; same thing if I send it via messenger.

edit: let's assume we don't have an established and trusted channel. furthermore, they're not expecting this info.

I just wanted to say, as someone who has been reluctant to try and convert his friends and family to alternative communications platforms for years due to perceived shortcomings with all alternatives, I think SimpleX might just be good enough.

Thank you very much for the work on this amazing solution.
