 ## Caveat Emptor
 
 LXMF is beta software, and should be considered experimental. While it has been built with cryptography best practices very foremost in mind, it _has not_ been externally security audited, and there could very well be privacy-breaking bugs. If you want to help out, or help sponsor an audit, please do get in touch.
