Not really abandoned, just that there wasn't anything more to change/fix, plus I thought that everybody is just using Facebook/WhatsApp nowadays, but you can't really transfer large files with those.
Thanks
Unfortunately it doesn't use any right now, this is actually one thing that I wanted to add.ozziguy wrote:Nice app. Does it use any secure protocol or encryption ?
That would be good
Thanks! I'm trying to figure out if there can be any real good use of this program now.. the only time when I had a few users online in my server was when a game called Giants Citizen Kabuto was still alive and I integrated a server browser in the program (instead of Recently used servers, you would have the game servers and you could join/create), so.. yeah, I'm not sure..smaragdus wrote:@xtexistenzxtexistenz wrote:Hey smaragdus,

I am one of those who do not trust and will never use neither Facebook, nor anything owned by Facebook like Whatshapp. My own privacy is dear to me and I will never give it away to the evil behemoth Facebook. For the same reason I do not use Skype. For communication I mainly use Isotoxin messenger (it is in the database), which uses the Tox protocol and is currently available only for Windows (there is a an Android Tox client- Antox), and the good old Jabber protocol (there are many clients which support it). I also have Telegram (which has been discussed in the forum) but I am not happy with the direction of the development. I have also tested LINE, which is not portable but like Isotoxin supports audio and video calls, the simple IP-Chat (not portable) and the bare bones Tor-based chat client Ricochet (which is also in the database). For file transfer I have used Orzeszek Transfer (a simple portable tool which has been discussed in the forum), HFS (available in the database), Kangee (not portable), CC File Transfer (not portable, abandoned, still available for download at Softpedia) and my own FTP server. I have also used RetroShare (available in the database) but it seems that people usually do not want to spend some effort to learn how to use such complex and feature-rich tools.
I hope that within a month or two I will find time to test ChateX and I will share my impressions here. If I have suggestions I will also post them in this thread. I am glad that ChateX is not abandoned- for me it is always sad to see promising programs die and in the times of mass surveillance tools like ChateX become even more valuable.
It is nice that Softpedia still hosts ChateX (ChateX & Portable ChateX) but it will be better if ChateX has its own website (the old one can still be viewed at the Internet Archive). Have you ever considered making ChateX open-source?
