I assume they'll eventually release a technical specification that allows other clients to interoperate. I think it's better to get the usability right and other aspects polished first.

Still waiting for anything that could help create a Bittorrent Sync-compatible app.

I love BT Sync! The current client is not so bad, it's easy to use. I like how it's easy to port your config from one computer to the other with dumb text file. I'm just curious, what do you think is missing in it?

We're missing a specification of the protocol (and the Libre software sympathizer in me wants a Libre implementation of said protocol).

I'm not saying it doesn't work (to be fair I haven't tried it, but have only heard good things about it). It's just that it works in its own world.

call me naive, but I actually trust them.

..and it is the best solution for guaranteeing confidentiality and the encryption need/problem - not to need it, since there isn't a server to eavesdrop on
