As a naive potential user I am willing to take the assurance of proper crypto and forward secrecy. What needs to be addressed also is the issue of metadata. It is the broad collection and easy analysis of metadata -- NOT content -- that makes NSA monitoring so sinister. By knowing all about who you connect with, when, for how long, and with what regularity, they can know a vast amount about you.

What of the who/when/how-long/how-often metadata is evident when using Tox? As compared to normal skype or IM, that is?
