@tomdale I don’t know why people keep re-inventing protocols :( we already have ostatus...
@postmodern_mod3 then messages only get delivered if both sides are up. Also lol "just run an XMPP server, problem solved" ;)

@bascule@postmodern_mod3 if you want it fully distributed but messages to be persisted if one is offline, you'll need a DHT or something -
@konstantinhaase@postmodern_mod3 Cryptosphere will use Kademlia -
@bascule@postmodern_mod3 from my experience DHTs add pretty heavy load bandwidth and/or memory wise -
@konstantinhaase@postmodern_mod3 everyone who runs BitTorrent is already using one *shrug* -
@bascule@postmodern_mod3 ... instant messaging -
@konstantinhaase@postmodern_mod3 I'm actually thinking of something closer to a digital dead drop than IM -
@bascule@postmodern_mod3 ah, ok, only entered the discussion when you were talking about XMPP

@bascule XMPP servers will queue messages for unavailable JIDs. Running your own server isn't a bad thing either. :) -
@postmodern_mod3 that doesn't help if the sender goes offline indefinitely and the recipient comes online later
