Comment Comment by giphyman Briar uses a rendevouz system for adding contacts over the internet: https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-spec/blob/master/p...And a 2-party QR code protocol for adding contacts in person: https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-spec/blob/master/p...In short, both these methods of adding contacts require both parties to actively add each other in the same time period. So even if you post your briar contact code publicly, only the contacts you are adding as well will be able to connect with you. parent giphyman 4 years ago
