@anon_4601 @dansup #deltachat does not require a phone number nor you have to provide your address nor a SIM card is required.
you can use it even without a phone.
it uses SMTP/IMAP under the hood, with a random address. nothing is persisted on the server, for metadata, see https://delta.chat/en/help#message-metadata
Oh wow. Okay, thst's just great!
When I opened Deltachat some time a ago, an email address was require.
However I just tested this by installing DeltaChat on a LinuxPC and opened an account just by entering a nickname.
You're absolutely right, nothing is required at all. Thank you for pointing this out to me, I'll fix my post right away!
Thanks again.
