Nuttso Molly supports generic messages since a few weeks. You should receive that generic message with a locked database right away. We are not aware of any problems currently. Tell us more about your setup.

I have only experienced once with delayed message that was delayed for almost 24 hour. Other than that im very pleased with it :)

My setup is: Regular Molly FCM from Github. Version: 7.0.2-1. Databse lock ON set to immediately. Uses phone lock password. Battery optimization is turned off.

What does generic message mean? It uses FCM? If so, that have been supported a while if recall correctly?

@Nuttso could you answer my question please.

    Nuttso I've never used a matrix before. Just curious before I have to familiarize myself with and figure out how to set up yet another platform, Is there any reason why only my question can't be answered here where you've welcomed questions? I like to keep my account creation to a minimum if possible.

      [deleted] @Nuttso Also it’s useful for people following the thread if the advice remains in the thread!

      Typically questions involving technical help (such as your question about your server) are best sorted through realtime communication. Take 'live chat' which businesses commonly use instead of email for example.

      Like dumdum said questions like yours are better solved in realtime. I don't want to flood this thread with specific troubleshooting. It's nothing personal

      I was wondering if Molly will support RCS in the future

        Nuttso I know the database password protects its data but lets say if the database gets breached somehow. Would it then be possible to extract messages that has been deleted either manually or self-destructed? Because I have heard from people that with Signal messages that have been deleted been retreived by Law Enforcement.

          PMUSR Molly has a feature called "ram shredding". It's used to purge the keys, when the Database is locked. The db can only be unlocked with the passphrase. If an adversary has the passphrase, they won't be able to recover any deleted messages. Molly has two priorities for this year. Finish monero implementation and remote attestation. Both features would need to be audited. A lot of people are requesting molly to be audited. Ofc we would let them audit deleted messages as well. Just give us time. It wasn't easy to keep molly alive. The donations and help from the community are very limited.

            Ok. How is it technically possible or how does it work that deleted message cant be recovered even if someone has the db passphrase? Sorry for noob question. Just trying to learn :)

            Second. What would the Monero implentation do for Molly? What is "remote attestation". I dont understand this because English is not my native language.

            Also I just want to thank you for this great app and I appreciate it a lot :)

              PMUSR Because I have heard from people

              People talk a lot. Signal clients use SQLCipher databases, which by default enables secure_delete. We are clearing the ram on top of that. If you ask the right people they will tell you signal is actively monitored by LE. The only interesting stuff for us are court documents. No documents = didn't happen.

                Nuttso Do we need to enable anything for the RAM to be shredded? Sometimes i see the RAM shredding notify but sometimes i do not.

                  Nuttso I know it is probably doing it. Only the nofication misses, actually most of the time. :)

                    [deleted] sometimes indeed on gos it takes a few seconds to show the notification. Open and close the nav bar and you should see it

                    Are you serious about this? Any sources or where you heard about it?

                    Next thing. Im not sure if this only happens me or if it happens to others too? Sometimes when unlocking the database and the password is accepted and then when the unlocking "circle" status finishing the app crashes. Just from time to time. Not always. Are you aware of this? What could be the issue that make the app crash like this?

                      You misunderstood what I'm trying to point out. People talk a lot of sh*t. There are endless claims that signal is being monitored. There is no proof for that. Just ask the right people (dumb criminals)

                      Send us a debug log next time this happens.
