unsolved problems for fully decentralized P2P instant messaging

1. How do you assign persistent usernames to potentially rapidly changing IPs? You can't use a centralized server or any side channels (like an email address).

2. How do you do push notifications in Android or iOS? Push notifications are sent by Apple or Google servers via your signed, trusted (centralized) server(s).

Tox (the chat protocol) solves #1 by using centralized servers and #2 by simply not doing push notifications (which is unacceptable).

I dream of a chat client that has all the features of Messenger or iMessage without having to trust anyone. No central server in the middle. Just my message to your device and back and forth.

dude just use fucking imessage or whatsapp stop being paranoid lmao
