Due to the nature of SimpleX chat, where there is no identification of any kind, there is a high risk of impersonation. Anyone can copy a profile, share a fake link, and scam people in my name or cause confusion. For this reason, I decided to abandon SimpleX for good.

I’m returning to my original Session account with a registered name : COOK13 (ALL CAPS). This is a paid account and cannot be faked. That account has broken connections with existing contacts, but this only affects old connections. To contact me, you must create a new Session account first. Once you do, a new connection will be established and everything will work normally. For full certainty, uninstall and reinstall Session to start fresh.

If you message me from an old Session account that was previously used to contact me, there is a high chance the message will silently fail. You will not receive any notification, and I will never get the message. I usually reply within 48 hours, so if you do not hear back within that time, assume the connection is broken and use the Message Form below to inform me.

So please, I repeat: MAKE A NEW SESSION ACCOUNT before contacting me. My Session name is COOK13 (ALL CAPS), permanently linked to Session ID 05f203a6bb53417b40c8201109916f4b5095cc99b253ce44dc5efc9e420898bd74 which will never change. You can find me either by using the Session ID or by typing COOK13, which is much easier to remember. Make sure it is ALL CAPS, not cook13, or you may connect to the wrong person. Once you connect, you can also verify the Session ID to confirm it matches.

My apologies for the confusion caused by all the new accounts, but this one will make things much simpler and reduce confusion going forward.
