[General] Tox questions

[Aron Knifström]

Donations I guess, see the blog about the problems last year, after that
irungentoo had a personal fundraiser.

Tux are using NaCl, it's probably much better or equal compared to Signals
own encryption protocol.

Tux is of course all about being decentralized.

Best regards
Aron
