Session: Supposedly a fork of secure Signal messenger that doesn’t need your phone number and works across decentralized servers
Privacy concerned people are always in the search of an ultimate service that lets you communicate securely while respecting our privacy across multiple platforms.
For privacy-enthusiasts, registering the phone number with Signal or other such applications is a potential risk. But, with Session, you do not need a phone number, simply click on “Create Account” after you install it on your desktop or phone and it will simply generate a random (unique) Session ID. Session utilizes blockchain at its core and you don’t need to know it’s there.
Even though Session isn’t a peer-to-peer technology, it does not have a central server for the network. It takes a decentralized approach to how the messages are transmitted (or routed) - seemingly using the Loki blockchain nodes for this purpose. https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e102c5908671c6c85032eafa74f379a1026
