 I hope we get SimpleX Chat on Umbrel soon 🤞 
 your vids are inspiring and super high quality! Gonna check out SimpleX 
 Very good tutorial on SimpleX! Been watching your videos religiously.

However, for constructive criticism, it seems to be a push for Start9 server and could be misleading. It sounds at the begining of the video that the only option for now is Start9 server to truly own your data. 

In reality you can install it on any device running Linux. 
 I've been thinking about using SimpleX for a Bitcoin Meetup group chat!!
 
 Yo me anoto 0/ 
 Now if I only could buy a Start9 with a pay in 6 deal. 

I want it… 
 You don’t have to buy the ready-made machine in order to use start9 you know 👀 
 This is true, but I’d still have to source out parts and by the end with time it still comes out about the same price I figure. 
I could be wrong though, I’ve been wrong before 
 Yeah and i haven’t done it myself so idk. But it’s possible 😂 
 I’m using a refurbished Lenovo thinkcentre I bought for 250$. 
 That’s CAD cuckbucks too!

 This! Brilliant! 😂😂 
 Have you tried the video chat. Does it work well even if you're connected with Tor? I assume not. 
 Thanks Ben. I setup SimpleX using default servers a while back but it was like owning the worlds first fax machine with “so now what?” springing to mind. Good tutorial especially the database porting. 
 Hey dude. Starting from one of the videos you posted, in which you mention that you are using SP, do you have any recommendations for configuring S1 with iOS?  
 Yo! Unfortunately I don't have an iPhone so I'm uncertain. Does the interface look a lot different? 
 Hi Ben. Thanks for the reply 🤝 In my case there may be two problems: the server that I want to enter manually, which comes from the app configuration in SO (smp://… .onion), is being rejected by the iOS app. And secondly, the issue of the app for Tor adjustment for the desired app. I do not know if there is any similar to the one you show but for iOS 🤷🏽‍♂️ 
 keet is better for filesharing
