Data compression? about ensichat

[Nutomic]

The protocol is already efficient regarding size, as it's binary (not json or so). Text messages are usually short (and take less space than the protocol headers). And images, video etc would already be compressed.

So I don't think this would be worth the effort.

Just saying. I know what you are saying but there would be even smaller network traffic then. Another point is that the protocol is using flooding, which means a large message will ternpirarily clog up the neteorj

Compression really won't make a noticable difference, so I'm closing this for now.
