I switched to tor, the connection is working. 3 days of trial left. I go to the main contacts screen and select the top left three bars menu, at the bottom left both internet and wifi symbols are green.
Each contact displays how long ago I typed a message.
I'd like to see some way to get the server status if possible, ideally the response time could be translated to a color with a note of the last round trip time.
I don't know the server ip, in fact multiping on android seems to be working fine over tor.
Just don't know if the server is down or it is some other problem.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1197Manual section needed for Bluetooth and Wi-fi.2020-11-18T22:43:47ZPratiwirManual section needed for Bluetooth and Wi-fi.I initially loaded Briar on three devices and added each to the other as a contact, as in the manual.

I had bluetooth turned on and wi-fi too. The manual says that after scanning the QR code the devices will exchange information and the contacts will be added. This works fine, but what isn't clear is how the process takes place. "You must meet up with the person you want to add as a contact." This implies that bluetooth or local Wi-fi is being used silently. This assumption creates confusion because I then assumed that in Android one just has to have the services activated and the rest is taken care of, as you might expect for easy use in a crisis.
I now think that for the devices to send local messages one has to host a hotspot over Wi-fi or bluetooth. So this should be clear in the manual, how to set up the Wi-fi links or bluetooth links properly and what the requirement is for adding contacts. Is it local bluetooth turned on, paired devices required or not, Wi-fi transmitters active, or logged onto same network, full internet access? Can both QR codes be sent by secure e-mail and scanned by the camera at remote locations at the same time, what is the time wimdow?
"If the internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis." This is the only information in the manual and potentially wrong assumptions about it make actual testing and getting it working more difficult and confusing than it needs to be. The manual is quite compact, but needs additional concise information about what is going on.CleopatraCleopatrahttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1179Handshake protocol2020-11-18T22:39:28ZakwizgranHandshake protocolTo enable account backups (#110) and simplify the introduction protocol (#474) it would be useful to have a way of bootstrapping from static keys, suitable for storing in a backup or exchanging in an introduction, to forward secret trans...To enable account backups (#110) and simplify the introduction protocol (#474) it would be useful to have a way of bootstrapping from static keys, suitable for storing in a backup or exchanging in an introduction, to forward secret transport keys.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-spec/-/issues/12Write spec for contact exchange protocol2020-11-19T04:49:57ZakwizgranWrite spec for contact exchange protocolhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/website/-/issues/6SEO2021-04-13T08:55:55ZrugkSEOSearching for "Briar" on DuckDuckGo does not show this messenger at all.
