Guys, cut with the negativity. I'm a crypto nerd as well, and with my other truly paranoid friends we use Chatsecure which does not require your number, is compatible with Tor, etc. However, my mom uses Signal, my father yesterday called me via Signal and he's fuckin' 67 years old. That is truly amazing and I admire Moxie et.al for the work they do.

Do you seem to forget that it is encryption for the masses. Not only for the few tin foils like myself. And even if it uses GCM, it's still an great, since i could never persuade my non-paranoid friends to contact me only via Chatsecure. They would say - "why the fuck can't you be like a normal person and use whatsapp or fb messenger?".
