Tor IM Bundle - use decentralized system (ex: cabels or TorChat)

I don't see much point in fixing Pidgin. Nothing wrong with Pidgin, but not really made for use with Tor. Jabber is also a fine protocol, but not made for censor resistance.

I suggest switching to something decentralized. Why?

A jabber jid like "julian.a**ange at jabber.us"... How long do you think it would last? That is, why you invented hidden services.

No need to reinvent the wheel...

• There is already cabels [1] (from Liberte Linux developer) and torchat [2].
• Both use hidden services.
• Both are independent from a centralized servers.
• Both projects are alive.
• Both developers are friendly, listening for feedback, fixing vulnerabilities.

So here is the idea:

• Contact one or the other developer or both.
• See what you like about their application and what not. What prevents you from using it for the Tor Im Browser Bundle.
• Ask them, whether they are interested to see their application bundled within an official Tor Browser IM Bundle.
• Ask them, if they would fix, what you complain about (any insecure things, if any).
