【ANN】 【ICO LIVE !】 🔥WWAM🔥 - Decentralized messaging protocol

[Rigorous]

actual news of a delicate change in german legislation regarding to the encryption of messengers like whatsapp

http://www.politico.eu/article/german-government-to-spy-on-encrypted-messaging-services/

Just to list a few, I've heard something similiar from the UK government as well.
Times are getting worse and worse - just one more reason for WWAM!

What if any implementations of WWAM are forced to implement backdoors by the governments? Also observe that the German and UK governments have been elected democratically, therefore the majority of the population are afraid of encrypted messaging. That fear is fueled for a significant amount by terrorism, which in turn is caused by inequality. I don't think we'll solve inequality by putting backdoors in people's phones. It's also a vicious circle, more surveillance leads to more anonymous messaging.

Hey,

I think your project is something worth to keep an eye on, because in recent days we lose more and more control about our privacy. To be honest I am not a programmer or someone with a lot of knowledge how all this protocols work but before investing into a coin I want to understand it and know if it fits for me.

I have two questions at the moment.

The first one is: Your project ist build on an anonymous messaging protocol. Do you think this could be abused for bad? And would there be a backdoor or something for the developers to reveal abuse?

The second one is: Recently there were news about other coins that got revelead as not so anonymous than it was thought, do you think that something like that could happen in any way to you? I mean, never say never, but have you plans to keep it as anonymous as it should be?

Anyways, keep the good work up!

Whitepaper p. 9

WWAM seeks to make it impossible, for communication between users, to be compromised in any
instance, when communicating over the internet. All messages between users on the WWAM network will
be encrypted. Encryption will be mandatory, and un-encrypted messages rejected automatically by the
network.

The nodes will have zero knowledge about the users on the platform, and they will not be able to read
messages and content. Users will not be required to register to use WWAM, thereby rendering login and
password combinations useless. There will be no central server to store private information, and all
messages will stay in the blockchain. Contact lists and message history are non-existent unless the user
opts to maintain one.

WWAM will use a large network of many nodes. Whenever a user sends a message, the network will
process the message on different nodes. If a node on the network sees the user's Internet Protocol (IP)
address, the rest of the network would be oblivious to that information. With a network of thousands of
nodes, it is impossible for an attacker to control enough nodes to access the Internet Protocol (IP) address
of a specific user. Should the improbable happen, and the attacker is able to see the users IP address, they
will not be able to access the users messages

read more about it here: http://wwam.io/Whitepaper.pdf

And as it is supposed to be decentralized, I think there should'nt be the possibility of backdoors for anyone.

Summarize it pretty well, there will be no such thing as a backdoor, the code will be open-sourced anyway

Once the token is deployed on the ethereum blockchain, you (WWAM Devs) cannot change anything it its' code later on.
And as we know, crypto in whole cannot be regulated by anyone, nor by a single government.
To do so, you'd have to shutdown the internet totally. Here we go - this won't ever happen and this is why we all love cryptos!  

This fact is i.e. an ongoing issue on Minerum, so that the dev decided to develop a new (MNE2) coin including the missing features of MNE1.

Can you add a counter of raised money to your site? that we can see the progress. In ETH or may be in USD

[Trrrt]

You can check the contract if you want to see the amount raised. But yes its a nice idea to put a counter in the site.
I'm so excited by this ico, i Check it sonmany time .
The node offer by the project can offer huge reward, have a part of WWAM is very important, cause this project can go to the moon very fast. They have just to launch the platform and the project will be the greatest.

It's already there, not really hidden you must not have searched it for long : http://wwam.io/ico
It's in the plain middle of the page, with a progress bar along with ETH invested and mWWAM tokens created

[magisterr]

Oh.. sorry, I somehow did not notice a counter.. Now Im watching for progress with attentively ))
Bonus of % is for single 7 days or until you collect soft cap?

What a nice logo, needed 1 min to decode the letters correctly between all the possibilities, awsome style ...

[sserugh]

Nice project, this is Ofc a major problem tou are trying to solve. You write in The whitepaper that you Also want other developers to develop/implement there own chat clients. Will you give them any incitement to do so, or do you assume that other developers will see how good your protocol is, and therefor do it?

On the one hand it is sad that world is going that direction but on the other hand more restriction like that more value WWAMI will have

Will this messaging protocal also be usable for smartphones?
Anyway, an ambitous and challenging project, but it definitely could become a real success story, will keep an eye on it the following months.

As far as their's a developer who would embrace WWAM protocol then yes. It will always be usable for smartphones.

[niklasmato]

Good luck with the ICO... Encryption is a good thing for privacy. Hope you guys can get funded.

If they dont make a ios or android application with the wwam protocol out of it, then it is a huge waste of possibilities :/ imo.

Like 80% of the world population is using smartphones or tablets, this is such a huge marketplace for a wwam app

Wow, I didn't even notice that the logo is made to spell all the different letters of WWAM. That's really cool.

[magisterr]

For smartphones? For IOS of for Android? Where you find this information? In whitepaper talking about Desktop version only.. As I understand

-Q2 2018 – Q3 2018 -> Protocol and node software release
-Q3 2018 -> REST API release
-Q3 2018 -> Windows/Linux Client release

[magisterr]

Yes. Now almost all people talking in mobile devices (in transport, in the street, at work..) So you must create a mobile version mainly

Why you posted pictures, if you are not a dev?
I asked you about mobile device. Where you find this information? Dont mislead please, read whitepaper

But also so many people use pc (especially windows) too you know, thats why bill gates is so rich  
But of course with the addition of android/ios app it will be more better.

Really excited we are live, I have pointed a few friends and a few wallets this direction and I am really looking ahead to a bright future and big things with the platform and being an early adopter.
