Please don't do that here. It's both personally insulting and a motto used by fanatics, not an argument for anything.

Who is "my adversary" exactly and what do they want with me?

No, I don't think Moxie's past and current behavior is indicative of a person who subscribes to ethics. I think he's vain, eager to be in the spotlight and eager to profit off a cryptocurrency invented by a company he has a very complicated history with [1].

He will extort money from you based on your private message history, when they eventually leak from Telegram's effectively plaintext database.

That says more about you than about Moxie. You've shown your character, now strongly consider showing yourself out.

I'm sorry, what? Do you want to explain how giving evidence of Moxie acting poorly is a reflection of me? Or why you're now personally attacking me?

I didn't do any such thing to you, please kindly treat me with respect.

Your adversary wants the clear text of your messages. The clear text exists on server, or they exist on a client device. Client device is the only acceptable solution. Make it hard for them, they must hack your client, rather than send an email. It IS an argument against snake oil, server side “encryption”.

Sorry, this is a hacker board. I, and others hackers, agree with me. E2E||GTFO.
