Criptext was a legitimate privacy-focused email service leveraging the Signal Protocol, with historical funding (~$1.8M) and press coverage. However, the project appears currently abandoned with reports of server inactivity since 2021-2024. The submission contains critical red flags: the claim 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false, and the audience reach of 'everyone' is unrealistic. While the underlying technology was innovative, the lack of maintenance and false claims in the submission severely impact the score.
