Metadata war escalates with Bittorrent Bleep for secure phone calls and texts

story imageBitTorrent Bleep expands the Bittorent protocol to enable people to make voice calls and send messages over the Internet without using a central server to direct traffic. Users will find one another through groups of other users, with no records of the calls or texts stored anywhere along the way. Once a connection is made for a call or text, the communication travels directly between the two computers involved. That peer-to-peer approach also defies mass surveillance. BT Bleep is currently invitation only and limited to Windows 7 and 8.

seems like the encryption might be a source of overhead or slowdown? maybe not.
