Re: Adding voip to torchat

[hhhh xhdhx <johncalisano@xxxxxxxxx>]

Im quite ignorant abt onioncat . How was user authentication done in the onioncat+mumble combination ??
Reading on mumble says its been optimised for low latency , does that explain the lag ? Mumble has a client / server architecture so was the server run as a hidden service & the clients just spoke to the hidden service through tor ??
The torchat architecture seems decentralised to me as every participant is a hidden service himself & there is no single point of failure.Most voip clients hav a client/server model which im very keen to avoid.

Preliminary testing showed OnionCat + Mumble to be a working and
relatively easy to setup Tor-enabled VoIP solution; the 1/2s - 1s
delay is only slightly annoying.
