Ask HN: Is there a universal Self-Destructing Messaging app?
2 comments
Self-destructing...I don't think so.
But any OTR-enabled chat (both users have to have it) encrypts every single message with a new key (at least 128 bit AES, depending on implementation). Most of them still go through a server, though. Retroshare uses OTR and it's also P2P, so it should be a little more trouble for them to get, but since they're tapping the cables, they're still getting it anyway - and this is why anything "self-destructing" would be irrelevant, too.

Do you mean read once messaging? The Client Server model makes this impossible.

Do you guys know of one? Or maybe an email service that has self-destructing capabilities? Thanks! :D -aTMoZFeaR
