pond

You might consider changing the name. There's a new crypto messaging project started by some folks at Google called Pond: https://pond.imperialviolet.org/ https://github.com/agl/pond It's pretty much impossible to avoid naming collisions for projects. :-/

> also, is code like this https://github.com/agl/pond/blob/master/server/server.go#L15... just extreme defensive programming? or is there some other reason for the check (eg is not everything locked)? That's checking for integer overflow - an often-overlooked source of many security vulnerabilities. That's a signed integer though, and I don't know if signed integer overflow has defined behavior in Go. In C that would be undefined behavior, allowing the compiler to do potentially nutty things, so you would want to do the overflow check before the increment. (Edit: considering who the author of this code is, I would assume that Go has sane defined behavior on signed integer overflow ;-)

(Or, how to better organise a discreet relationship with the Director of the CIA.) from https://github.com/agl/pond (the source) is a good elevator pitch, for people (like me) who are taking their time getting what this is. also, is code like this https://github.com/agl/pond/blob/master/server/server.go#L15... just extreme defensive programming? or is there some other reason for the check (eg is not everything locked)? also, does 2. A GPA can learn when messages are sent to a non-home server and which server that is. get weaker if there are many users? and why is it so quiet here? am i asking dumb questions? i've been deleting the ones i work out answers to!

Pond would be the thing to use if it were ready. https://github.com/agl/pond
