I've been using @delta for some months and I'm totally in love with it.
The concept of using emails as chats is equally simple and powerful.
And I love the fact that it just works as we are used to in other #IM apps, but without being locked to a platform, and having true encryption.
The onboarding process is extremely easy to do, and does not require personal data at all.
IMHO it is equally useful for non-experts and people who really need a secure and trusftul IM service.
@delta but there are at least two main items with the awhere I'm going to need advice about #deltachat
1. Is it a good idea to use your regular email address or is it better to use a dedicated email account like the chat mails from the onboarding process?
2. Is there any way to discover other people using #deltachat if you don't know their email address if they have not shared the QR with you? (I can see pros and cons for both)
@delta I initially started using my regular email address and it just works great. Setting it up was no different from setting up #Thunderbird.
The rationale was that if someone has my email, they could contact me as usual, and I would be able to chat with them using #deltachat
@delta Now, I'm having second thoughts, and I wonder if having at least two accounts (one using a random chat mail for processional use and another with my regular email for personal use) could be a better approach. After all, It is extremely easy to have more than one account in delta and switch from one to another.
