Tox: next level of Instant Messaging

The internet was made for communication. But talking with your friends, in a safe, reliable way, is much harder than it should be. Secure, FOSS communication methods usually suffer from obscurity, and are typically still centralized, forcing the user to trust a server or to set up their own. We think it's time that security and simplicity came together, available to everyone. Tox is an encrypted, peer-to-peer network for instant messaging, calling, and videochatting, one-on-one or in groups. Tox is a core protocol and API that anyone can make a client for. Existing clients are listed on http://wiki.tox.im/Clients, including: • a cross-platform GTK client (https://github.com/naxuroqa/Venom) • a cross-platform Qt client (https://github.com/nurupo/ProjectTox-Qt-GUI) • an OS X client (https://github.com/stal888/Poison) • an iOS client (https:

//github.com/Jman012/Toxicity) • an Android client (https://github.com/Astonex/Antox) • an ncurses-based terminal client for Unix-likes ( https://github.com/Tox/toxic ) The Tox core has been shared all over the internet by inspired enthusiasts, and has drawn the attention of many developers. However, the clients haven't received nearly the same amount of publicity, and their developers need help to bring easy, secure communication to the masses. And since the core is a simple protocol library with an API (and with bindings available for many other languages), you can start your own client too. If you fancy yourself more of a low-level programmer, help with the core is always appreciated: https://github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core Developers are always present over at #tox-dev on freenode. For the API: http://api.libtoxcore.so/ Thank you for your time, - https://tox.im/

Tox aims to be a secure replacement for Skype. There's several other similar projects, but they are usually hard to set up and use for an average user. Tox is FLOS software developed by community, and currently licensed under GPLv3. We are considering changing the license to something more permissive, so it would be possible to put it on the App & Win8 Stores. Currently, it is in really early stages of development. But we already have basic IM, and nCurses interface. We use NaCl library for encryption and will probably add FFmpeg for video. We are working on a cross-platform GUI using Qt5. Please note that the screen-shots on the main website are only mockups, and (in my opinion) should have been labeled as such. Since the website is down, here's some links: Subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/projecttox/ Core code: https://github.com/irun
