What is the difference between this platform and Riot, which is free? I am trying to understand how/why you are raising money, given the fact that there is a competitor that is completely free, and bridges with most current chat platforms, and also has several layers of encryption.
Are you planning on charging members to use this?
Hi there - Fortknoxster is free to use as well. There will be paid tiers for super users and enterprise etc, but Riot is the same in this regard.
Its also important to note that Fortknoxsters primary focus is on privacy and security. Their slogan is "What happens on Fortknoxster stays on Fortknoxster".
Riot seems to treat encryption as a secondary feature. It even shows on their website that some encryption is only in beta testing: "All files and data transferred over Riot can be encrypted end-to-end (currently in beta)"
The other key differences are that Fortknoxster allows users to get paid to store portions of encrypted files. So there is no need for users to run their own servers, its all stored in multiple back-up locations in the cloud.
In short: Fortknoxsters biggest focus is security and privacy E2E for email, video, file sharing, chat etc. Riot seems to be more focused on group collaboration with security as a secondary feature.
