Hello Wasabee, I've used TextSecure but I found that it's like sending encrypted SMS, therefore you have the consequent cost associated to it. I don't know if Heml.is will be a kind of secure whatsapp or if it will have the same approach of TextSecure. Correct me if I'm wrong with the SMS stuff. It was what I thought once I received my bill.

Has anyone reviewed their code? Does anyone use it? Why not build on top of it? On 10/07/13 14:07, Nick wrote: noone said it would be closed source. That's peoples guess. Like, your guess, I guess. According to their twitter account, the answer is "maybe": https://twitter.com/HemlisMessenger/statuses/354927721337470976 Peter Sunde (one of the people behind it) said "eventually", but in my experience promises like that tend to be broken: https://twitter.com/brokep/status/354608029242626048 and the feature 'unlocking' aspect of the project - to be indication of a proprietary code base. Frankly I can't see how they could get the "feature unlock" funding stuff to work well if it's proper open source. As I'd expect people to fork it to remove such antifeatures. It's a pity, as several new funding models have been successful recently which are compatible with free software, but this doesn't look to be one of them. -- Too many emails?
