But that is the central part of your distributed service, if I understand it right? The metadata are only encrypted for and within your service. How would you route the packages/emails otherwise? So you need to expose metadata somewhere, either internally - so you have access to them - for routing or somewhere else. You're right, there's no avoiding exposing metadata when communicating over the existing protocol. The idea with Telios is to federate the network and protocol to eventually replace the existing email protocol, whereas something like delta.chat is just augmenting the current system. So basically some P2P-file sharing directly with a person e.g. as in Limewire, Gnutella, BearShare? Yes. Emails are treated just like files in the current system so it's not a big leap to extend the service to share other file formats. Not agreeing with that, there is encryption, Tor/I2P etc. journalists use https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop for example, others put an encrypted file to their Nextcloud and share a link. You can also setup your thunderbird in a way, that it's using your Nextcloud instance to encrypt and upload any attachments automatically. Maybe I should have used the word "straight-forward" instead of "good". There hasn't been a service that's integrated all of this into one app/service. Hmm, that sounds only reasonable if you want to send this file only once. If you want to sent it to 10 different persons e.g. in a project you would need to upload 10x20GiB while essentially needing to be online with your device for the whole time while the file is being uploaded That's actually not the case. Attachments are stored as separate files and inside the email is sent attachment metadata. Every recipient would just retrieve your single 20GB file from the same source-your local disk.

Thanks for all of your great questions! We're using Hypercore protocol which uses something called Hyperswarm to connect peers over DHT/Kademlia. What's really neat about a Hyperswarm version that was released is you can create a firewall and whitelist specific public keys of peers that are allowed to connect to you. If a peer is not whitelisted then no exchanging of IPs happens. We've also thought about eventually adding a mix net like I2P over the network for added anonymity.
