Disclaimer: I do know at least 1 person involved in the development of Chadder.
I’m an admitted noob when it comes to a lot of security things like encryption, but I’m learning a lot through sources BoingBoing has led me to. I realize that this isn’t the site for indepth investigative writing but I’m a bit disappointed in how you presented Chadder. This product is primarily the product of etransfr, a company founded by a freshman at RIT. The product was developed by RIT students and presented at a recent event to foster innovation. I’ll admit, there’s a lot more I’d like to know about the product and how it works, but I think the fact that teens and 20somethings are developing an app that provides easy to use encrypted chat should be applauded.I confess I don’t know how much role, if any, John McAfee had in development, but I do think the team of college students involved deserve props. Have questions about the product’s security and how it works? Ask the chadder team. They’re very responsive and do have some great ideas for how to apply this app down the road.
Thanks, BoingBoing for bringing Chadder to more people’s attention and thanks for reminding me not to take your word as gospel. I still love you though.
