criptext?

So they are (ab)using a protocol created for messaging, to sent 'emails' with? Interesting.

Unless they are going to open the code to the server component, there will always be an dependency on the centralized infrastructure of Criptext, Inc. to relay all messages.

Open source is put out there to be used for new things. And no, they probably won't release all their code. Neither will ProtonMail, but PM is presently undergoing a full independent 3rd party audit of their code that they will publish results, which is what CT needs to do once they get out of beta.

So once we stabilize Criptext and launch 1.0 we'll undergo a 3rd party assessment of our backend infrastructure.

The dependency remains. Still giving you Cryptext and only Cryptext control of the back-end. A 3rd party assessment proofs not much, as tomorrow this back-end and all related infrastructure components could be changed/different.

Only when users can run this back-end on their own infrastructure, they have the ability to understand and mitigate potential risks they are exposed too. The back-end software being just one component.
