Is it going to be based on XMPP or custom protocols? What about delays and jitter which would be enormous in multihop P2P and likely leading to unsatisfactory call quality?
From Dan's Linked in page: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/dan-metcalf/12/1a8/b82Wireless Consultant Homeland Security Wireless January 2005 – June 2009 (4 years 6 months) Developed Large Scale Mobile Mesh Wireless which supports dynamic connection between multiple Access Points with out packet loss - an Industry First!

Large scale wireless without packet loss is great, but P2P for voice is pretty much different as you deal with peers who could have bad Internet connections, introducing high delays and jitter. It is likely that voice call would be routed via multiple peers for increased security causing delays and jitter multiplication which is killing for real-time apps like voice/video calls. pushing VoIP over multi-path wireless is very similar [in some ways] as RF conditions on a moving vessel change constantly, thus that "path" could go from steady to unsteady in milliseconds.

All right, thanks, would be interesting to see how it goes. I don't know if there are any kind of P2P VoIP available at all. Must be pretty challenging task.
Are you going to use XMPP standards or something of other kind? XMPP could be useful as it would allow to build additional services like file transfer, multi-user chat, etc. pretty fast.

This is not like some unknown dev came out and suddenly announce that they are going to produce a decentralized skype with absolutely no previous background, but at least a dev that has been there before in the field. +1 many coins have "announced" they will feature voice chat and video chat but they all failed because of incompetent development. That is why XC will reign supreme. Man I am stoked for the future of this coin.

Great news team!!
Thanks for doing such good work. Mindblowing as always
New to this whole anonymous coin world, but after reading through dark, cloak, monero, and xc, I've decided to buy some xc. I was gonna wait until zero came around, but it looks like you have something here. Cheers

Good job with this new feature, I have bought some XC as I expect the price will go up to at least 200K.
Holding CLOAK and XC, I think these 2 are the best alts at the moment. Both very innovative.
Now spread the word mate, you are joining a very exciting club.. Things are moving at quite a pace and Imo this coin has no rivals it is that far ahead.

***The XC Daily Update***
Hello all
It's been confirmed by the developers that XChat will include voice calling in post-Rev 3 editions, and video calling further into the future.
So basically we have a decentralised, private, Skype.
Here's to the future!
Good lord! Feel like my head is about to explode. So you are telling me when this is all completed we could install the XCurrency App on our phone run an XNode automatically while staking at the same time and have private Skype functionality?!?!?Yes, that is what they are telling you. AFK while I sell my house... Precisely. XC's design has had mobile platforms in mind from the outset. Wanted to bump this with my post bolded just because I can't get over how big this is.
