This doesn't look like a workaround, but a completely new protocol implementation.

qsatis:
There is no need for a new protocol for Gtalk / Jabber. To reuse your accounts, just set up two-step authentication in the security settings of your Google Account.
After activating it, generate an App Password for this account.
You will receive a 16-character password - use IT in Miranda's settings and that's it!

More information on how to do all this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4CtP1MBtOE

I wish success to all!  :DRINK:

p.s. I use PCLinuxOS at home, this works with Pigdin too!

I didn't believe it would work, but it really does, thanks a lot, man :THUMBS UP:

qsatis:
Glad I was able to help, wish you all the best  :DRINK:

Thanks from me too.  ;)

Without gtalk I should have to retire Miranda, as no other protocol I use is supported. Ok, except ICQ, but I haven't any online contact anymore. Gtalk  is the only protocol I actively use, even if with a lot of limitations, especially when the counterpart uses the new google chat.
I hope in a future basic support for Telegram (it is not matter of choice, it is the only one, except whatsapp, that the people I know use), but I can understand the lack of available time for developers.
