I think it strengthen the deniability and makes it even stronger, not weaker. It should be indifferent, if I send plaintext over OTR or cihpertext over OTR - that Multi encryption would even make the encryption better. As well the Option to Chose a different route than the AOL to AOL account line would bring more complexity and thus surveilance freedom with OTR, when it adds the libspoton kernel of the GoldBug Messenger. But I understand these things just as research questions, not as a development idea for OTR or any Messenger. Kind Regards
