You're thinking of TextSecure by Open WhisperSystems.


I like what Whisper is doing, and deeply respect the crypto talent that went into building it. Personally, I think the soundness of the cryptography is the most important attribute of a cryptographically secure chat application. Other people think other things.

"The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent"

Quoting the post I was replying to:

The quote from Keynes was merely a slightly whimsical way to make the point that people can hold false beliefs for a very long time, and that it's probably better not to personally invest in the idea that they will come around by themselves in any specific timeframe.
