I've talked to Silent Circle at conferences and what not. It is not like they have some crypto noob working on their project...They have Phil Zimmerman.

But, knowing nothing about them, when I asked them ``How does your protocol compare to TextSecure's Axolotl?'' the response was ``We have Phil Zimmerman''. So....I'm still a bit put off by them.

Some of their code is already open-sourced here. https://github.com/SilentCircle

As someone who works at Silent Circle (though not someone who can speak FOR SC), I'd say "Axolotl and SCIMP are both very good". Also, I don't know who you talked to, but keep in mind that not everyone working for SC is technical and can explain (or sometimes even knows) what Axolotl is/how it works.
