We'll see if Telegram will gain some user base, maybe then some programmers will be interested in writing plugin. As for now it's just another WhatsApp wannabe with debatable future.

As a non programmer, but enthusiast Miranda user, where should I start, to try to write/compile/make that plugin?

Well, you shouldn't. You need to know about programming to write a plugin. This isn't as easy as it seems to be

A +1 for me too.
Telegram is spreading fine here, I think it could be a good addition to Miranda.
Maybe Telegram Developers could be interested to provide a support for the Miranda Plugin development?

This is an interesting analysis about Telegram's encryption (thanks Robyer).

Does this means that, if they decide to improve the security redesigning their protocol, a possible Miranda Plugin should be rewritten?

PS: I don't think that a strong encryption is the first priority for many users, because the great part of the messages are trivial. I don't mean if someone read my "hey, how are you" "fine thanks!". The priority is a software that works fine (is light, don't lost messages) and is well spread.

+1 for telegram support because whatsapp is kinda ICQ, doesn't have any security at all.

Pidgin/libpurple has an alpha version for telegram support, supporting text messages only which is all I care for. They have binaries for OSX it seems only.

Would this be portable to Miranda NG?

Hi all,

i searched a liitle bit how to request features for Miranda NG and found the "official way" with uservoice
http://forum.miranda-ng.org/index.php?topic=2151.msg4585#msg4585 here you find the background info.

If you only want to quickly vote -> go here http://miranda-ng.uservoice.com/forums/250387-general ,search for Telegram and you can vote.

I guess this is more efective as a +1 in a Forum Topic


Greetings Predi

In other words, the blog prove (yet again), that obscurity has no relation to security?

Work goes there http://trac.miranda-ng.org/log/trunk/protocols/Telegram

Telegram has become a quite popular IM client nowadays, adding its support to Miranda is of big necessity
