Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app
I've already ported the command line client for Telegram, now I'm working on a GUI build on top of this client for the N900.
This build it's really in its early stages, so don't expect much functionality. Implemented features
To be implemented
How to install:

Nice, might have a look at it. I liked their FAQ, clean words all over. I never used Whatsapp, nor other similar craps, because of closed source and zero privacy.

Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app
Sounds very Maemo to me!
Any app that makes encryption easier and snooping more difficult is good for freedom. The NSA already distributes crypto gear for NATO type countries, we want our own gear. |

can you make an github repo for project? i want to get it working for harmattan with QML UI ;)

This is hardly better than Whatsapp itself. It's still one server, managed by one company, who gets access to all phone numbers in your address book.
Use Jabber dammit, not only it is an actual standard, it's even builtin in the N900... |

I agree with you, I care about privacy, buy nowadays when there are companies that have a lot more sensitive information about you (like fb, g+, etc.), the phone number seems not a big deal. Anyway my motivation to do this port is just the personal challenge it represent and making an app useful to someone and my beloved N900. By the way, If you or anyone have an idea of making an app fully open that could replace Whatsapp or other similar apps I'm glad to collaborate :) |

Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app
Hi,
thanks, NerdKnight for the work with Telegram Messenger CLI. I try to execute the client you compile but I have some problem with the decrypt. I try to explain what I do. 1.- download your binaries and source code for arm 2.- copy bin/telegram to /usr/local/bin copy bin/tg.pub to /etc/telegram/server.pub 3.- sudo apt-get install libmpc2 libmpfr1ldbl libgmp3c2 libutils2.22 4.- nano .profile with PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/ 5.- when execute telegram $ telegram -k /etc/telegram/server.pub dont find libconfig.so.8 6.- sudo apt-get install libconfig8 7.- $ telegram -k /etc/telegram/server.pub telegram: mtproto-client.c:435: process_dh_answer: Assertion `decrypt_buffer[14] == 2' failed. Signal 6 received telegram(print_backtrace+0x18)[0x10f7c] telegram(sig_handler+0x20)[0x10fb4] /lib/libc.so.6(__default_sa_restorer_v2+0x0)[0x402c5950] /lib/libc.so.6(abort+0x180)[0x402c5b6c] /lib/libc.so.6(__assert_fail+0xc8)[0x402bd620] telegram(process_dh_answer+0x7a4)[0x1a53c] telegram(rpc_execute+0x19c)[0x1ed2c] telegram(try_rpc_read+0xc4)[0x17600] telegram(connections_poll_result+0xdc)[0x17b2c] telegram(net_loop+0xf8)[0x11cec] telegram(loop+0x1fc)[0x12a9c] telegram(main+0x5c)[0x103f8] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0x108)[0x402ae974] telegram[0x10438] What I miss? Am I doing anything wrong? Need any gcc-4.8 or binutils lib? Thanks a lot. |

Seems like NerdKnight forgot about this project... )

I also would love to use telegram on my n900!

Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app
what about harmattan? ((
|
Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app
+bump for Harmattan..
Is this just what I was waiting for or is it just evolution? On on hand the company has the number db, on the other there are several advantages like sending any kinds of files, partially open source code as well as simultaneous access for the same account from different platforms... the questions that remain unanswered to me is how they will cover their expenses.. Donations are mentioned in their FAQ, but it's not clear to me. Still well worth a try |

Yes, it has an open client (which is not what is used for the official ones), but so have any of the IM systems which use XMPP as protocol (even Whatsapp technically has open clients, some of them available on this forum). But despite what their owners are saying, it is fully centralized, and it is not federated. The owners can do anything, including but not limited to changing the protocol, the rules and the license. They can close the service at their whim and there's nothing you can do about it. The service may at any later date start including features you don't like (e.g. someone 'leaks' russian signals intelligence has 'influenced' some of its design) and you won't be able to move from the service without losing communication with your existing contacts. And obviously let's not enter into the fake security features. The best that can be said is that they're not worse than Whatscrap. And that's not saying much. Out of curisity, so what's attracting you to this service, versus, opening an account on any jabber server and using the client that's built-in in _every_ Maemo/Sailfish version released to date? |

I just trust Durov and his initiatives. He is a person you can trust with no doubt.

Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app

Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app
there's a webapp zhukov.github.io/webogram/

Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app
And i'll wait for someone make GUI for this application...
|
Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app
A GUI wouldn't be needed. It has got an open API and open protocol, so it could be integrated in N900 messaging like jabber, skype, msn... wich would be great :)

Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app
Redhat could also decide that their about 10.000 lines of code writed to Linux kernel are retired from it, but it's not probable.
Telegram founder is a person that have donated 1 millon dolars to Wikimedia foundation at 2011 (when he turned 27 years old). Maybe he have evil plans for Telegram, but I don't think so. He talked in an interview about financing Telegram servers with donations and/or premium contents for Telegram. If you get all people to your jabber server it will be ok for me. While you don't get it, I'd like to be in contact to my friends with a not perfect but better system. I prefer unprobable risks to actual problems. |
Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app

Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app
about telegram: your data on cloud datacenters (and its not just one datacenter ;) are heavily encrypted. and with physical access to disk drives you cant read anybody conversations. only you can reand your conversations, untill you not telling your password to everybody
|
Re: Telegram on N900- a free,cloud-based, decentralized and heavily encrypted WhatsApp like app
and i'm stopping answering in this thread, because i see many peoples are paranoid and dont ever try to read. all new encypted protocols = evil. datacenters = evil. OTR and XMPP are god bless.
