Server is closed but client code and protocol provides user with verified secrecy. Most criticism seems emotion based but no smoking guns. See comments on http://unhandledexpression.com/2013/12/17/telegram-stand-bac... also see response to the post you linked to http://telegramteam.tumblr.com/post/70588130319/telegrams-cr... anyway i dont work for them and Surespot also looks nice. though nodejs+coffeescript at the server worries me a bit.
