Greetings, I develop Stealthy with the OP. After reading a lot of the HN dApp posts, I want to address two frequently occurring topics from the comments: 1. How decentralized is this dAPP? Stealthy is decentralized in two main ways. The first is that it does not require a centralized signaling server to establish connections, when two people have added each other as contacts. That of course requires that they initially co-ordinate outside of stealthy (though we do however have a convenience mode that does a one-time centralized introduction / discovery service if both users have that enabled). The second is our storage, which is built atop Blockstack's GAIA storage system (more info here: https://github.com/blockstack/gaia). 2. How secure is Clientside javascript crypto? In other HN posts, I've seen quotes like: 'Nobody who's serious abou

t security is going to use an app that does crypto in javascript. Why not make browser plugins to avoid this complication?' and posted the classic Javascript cryptography being considered harmful article. Blockstack gets around this in a way similar to being a plug-in with their one-time browser download (which is essentially a node process that also has your crypto keys/generation capabilities so you're not transmitting those back and forth for acquisition purposes). You can find more information on that subject in this forum post: https://forum.blockstack.org/t/blockstack-vs-clientside-js-e...
