#deltachat has reliable and audited end-to-end encryption but reliable message delivery is equally crucial in times of shutdowns and increasing Internet fragmentation. #chatmail relays are more reliable and faster than classic email servers but they may still fail, leaving users stranded. The recent rollout of V2 releases not only hardened end-to-end encryption but aims for chat profiles to use multiple relays in the future, removing a common point of failure in decentralized private messaging.

in reply to Delta Chat • • •@leberschnitzel thank you for the clarity!
Right, I'll wait for the implementation to be finalized before I get too ahead of myself for what the multiple relays could fully mean ๐

in reply to quaff • • •@quaff @leberschnitzel fwiw multi-transport aims for two separate fundamental repercussions:
- users get more reliable delivery as it becomes harder to block successful private communication
- relay operators get an easier time because they are not individually responsible for chat identities and their ability to privately communicate
