The functioning of the Telegram messaging act continues to impress. The crypto world’s favorite messaging app has encountered technical hitches though. The matter has been blamed on the Russian security services which are said to be meddling, a common culprit these days.
An anonymous source has termed the over-reliance on Telegram a classic aspect over-centralization.
Pavel Durov’s stand
Pavel Durov, current CEO of Telegram, has been packing Telegram with qualities espoused by a large number of cryptocurrency users.
It is worth noting that he has been rather passionate about bitcoin but in the same vein it is crucial to point out that he has remained stubbornly defiant to those governments that seek to frustrate his efforts in line with the encrypted messaging app.
He has asserted that he won’t be cowed. It goes without saying that Durov’s network remains prone to sporadic outages and several market observers have made a joint statement outlining that it may be resulting from both technical and political reasons.
Nature of the network
The instability of the network continues to be a rather persistent problem. A substantial number of networks get affected on the long run and thus the persons in the Telegram groups are having issues establishing a connection.
Telegram is a topic that has been popping up in the middle of discussions to do with the general working of bitcoin news teams as well as the unveiling of ICOs.
Reports indicate that there are those instances where the hub becomes temporarily unavailable, a matter that ends up affecting a lot of people.
There is thus the need to have in place several platforms that might be serving either as permanent replacements or substitutes. The ones that quickly come to mind are the Signal, Viber, Wire and Keybase. It is all about boosting the level of efficiency.
