Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to read: clear explanation what works and surely not "it's not stable." What are the current encryption-related bugs, that is, what is their worst consequence?

I surely don't have a problem with the manual verification.

The current bugs are basically that occasionally, you can't decrypt a message. Supposedly this has actually been fixed (and wasn't a security issue), but I've seen it once or twice since. And as I say, you lose your chat history if you log out or bring in a new device. This is an important bug to fix, but it requires some UX work.
We are still chasing down the final unknown session ID bugs actually, although many have been fixed. The other big issue is to warn when unverified devices are added to a room. We are working on them all currently.
