Cryptocat: The Social and Technical Challenges of Making Crypto Accessible to Everyone

Nadim Kobeissi

Cryptocat's (https://crypto.cat) mission to make open source encrypted chat accessible to the masses has been successful — but what are the technical dangers and limitations? What are the social repercussions? I'd like to discuss how leading an open encrypted chat platform to 50,000+ users in a single year has resulted in crazy and new problems that we need to consider if we want to make crypto more accessible.
