#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.

I share @leberschnitzel's confusion, the way your original post is worded implies the ability to use multiple relays in a client has been released in v2. Very cool if we'll be able to have back up relays tho. Especially if it means the same identity can be used from different relays. Would really adopt the idea of migration and portability. Something the fediverse hasn't completely implemented yet.

just checked out delta chat, i do like it, but i do have a small concern, there doesn't seem to be any protection for the app itself, no pin or password protection or any way to lock it from nosey people. I do think it would be a nice option. Besides that, the app seems very fast and responsive, the interface is easy to use and very familiar. I love the openpgp end-to-end encryption and have always been a fan of the PGP encryption system since i was young.

@lutindiscret there are some similarities but #nostr is about social media (a feed/pull network model) whereas #chatmail relays are about private messaging (and-store-and-forward network model) and seamlessly interoperate with the existing email server network. Moreover, delta chat apps share the same core rust codebase with other chatmail clients, so that interop can be implemented in one place.
