Prose

[edit]

I was able to convert the list format in the features section into prose. I was also able to give the prose sentence improvements. Geo g guy (talk) 06:02, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Compatibility with other systems

[edit]

The article doesn't mention whether Tox is capable of communicating with other open-source audio or video conferencing systems, such Ekiga, or whether such compatibility is contemplated in the future. It would be too much to expect, though, for it to be able to communicate with Skype clients, since Skype is closed-source and proprietary. — QuicksilverT @ 18:26, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tox Foundation

[edit]

I considered last changes made by Stqism inappropriate, since they were made mostly to cover his own tracks in this shady history with stolen money of Tox Foundation. Therefore, I undid his edits. Digital.Maniac (talk) 06:38, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Connection to 4chan

[edit]

It's pretty well known that Tox comes out of 4chan's /g/ (technology) board, but given the nature of the site I'm not sure how you'd verify that in a cite-able manner — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hatesdigimon (talkcontribs) 00:19, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Repo

[edit]

I don't know how (I'm not an editor), but the repository should be changed - it points to a fork, and is presumeably made for purposes of advertisement. It does not point to the actual toxcore by irungentoo, but to a fork (c-toxcore) by someone else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.4.89.211 (talk) 18:49, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

c-toxcore (aka toktok) is an official[1] fork of the old irungentoo's codebase, which was created around the time the original developer pretty much stopped supporting the code. Since only irungentoo was able to merge pulls, developers had to create a fork in order to develop toxcore further. This blog entry on Tox official site can be used as a confirmation of the official nature of this fork: https://blog.tox.chat/2016/10/update-ubuntu-yakkety-packages-tox-in-app-store-and-toxcore-updates/. As such, link to the project's repo should not be removed nor changed. 134.191.220.74 (talk) 07:50, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References

No information about the protocol

[edit]

Considering that this article supposedly is about the Tox protocol, it is disappointing that it contains no information about the actual protocol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.127.31.113 (talk) 07:48, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 6 December 2021

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Consensus is that there is no primary topic, and that the article on the place in France should be moved to Tox, Haute-Corse. (closed by non-admin page mover) BegbertBiggs (talk) 22:53, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

COI edits

[edit]

Wikipedia needs reliable, secondary sources - see WP:RS. Github, blogs, and other self published stuff is not sufficient and has led to this article being stuffed with bloat and promotion. In particular, an editor with a conflict of interest absolutely should not be edit warring to keep in writing about themselves and/or their own work, especially not cited to their own websites. MrOllie (talk) 12:20, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree with the conflict of interest in some of those edits, the list of Tox clients was useful and I don't see any other references that could support them besides the self-published ones since we don't have news/media covering library updates. Could we revert just the clients list? Sumosacerdote (talk) 20:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Disclaimer: I'm not involved in any way with the development of any library, client, program or application that uses Tox. I'm also not involved in sales, promotion or any kind of publicity towards that protocol.) Sumosacerdote (talk) 20:52, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
