hello pls how do i use non vbc i purchase i m a new bie here

does a client support sending omemo message without a second device?

so you would not have any device to encrypt to

you can always encrypt to yourself right?

I send myself notes over XMPP constantly

in Gajim only if you have second device

then you dont encrypt to yourself, you encrypt to a different device

omemo does not care about JIDs

if there is no other device, then i simply could not omemo encrypt the aes key

meaning the message has no receipient devices

the payload is AES encrypted, but the key is simply missing from the message

my personal OMEMO keys are a veritable graveyard of devices do I don't personally need to worry about that

But why shouldn't gajim simply encrypt to this device when sending to this device

because this would mean i have to build a session with myself, and this is a rather useless task

my approach to simply not encrypt to anyone has the same result

or rather not include the encryption key, in the message

its actually useless to even send it to the server

maybe i should just include it into the database and not even send it

at this point Gajim becomes a notepad :D

yeah i remember now that was my rational, if there is no other device, dont use a messenger, use a note app.

if you use omemo with no other device, you obviously dont want to sync messages with another device, and omemo on the server can not decrypted later so it makes not even sense to send it to the server
