Yes, I exported my profile from Toxic and tried importing it from aTox, but I don't receive anything sent to that profile. And the same happened with uTox. I didn't try qTox, since my religion forbids me from using Qt.

Yeah, I'm not so interested in Tox now, it doesn't sync between two separate installations. Seems like it must have had a big spam problem and their solution precluded multiple profiles being interlinked.
Keet has no mechanism to easily copy ID between different installations but the room invites allow you to have a user profile for each different installation.
So it's already better!

Oh, I though you were, and that you were using it regularly or something. I'm not especially interested wither, although the Toxic client is really cool.
I haven't tried on Keet, actually, since it won't run on any of my phones. :-)

Yeah, I have just also discovered that you have to manually add a contact as the interface only shows the 65 character public key and not the "nospam" and check value. They do this to stop spam, apparently. So you should keep a little file of your contacts' ToxIDs as the interface doesn't make it visible.

I see, thanks. I'll try to see if I get it to work.

Oh, actually, it does seem to carry over contacts from other installations when you set up your profile using the username.tox file. Just doesn't carry across the label you put on it.
Also, unlike Keet the profiles don't share their avatars.
Another thing is that even when you import your tox file from another installation it doesn't sync the messages between them.
Overall, assuming they add leaving chatrooms and ignoring spammy users who join chatrooms you are in, and the A/V chatting works nice, Keet is already better than Tox for UX.

I wish Keet had a console client, too. I much prefer to do everything I can on the CLI.

Yes, that I saw, it carry the contacts, but I haven't been able to chat to a third party from two devices with the same ID. I'm probably missing something or doing something wrong.
