Got the $7 deal at Backupsy going...got btsyn running and configured, shows a connection to my testing device...but nothing flows. Are there any firewall or port rules or other config elements when using backupsy that I've missed.
Thanks in advance for the reply...
Be nice to have some feedback from you, did you get it working? - it's working for me great.

backupsy and your device(s) are they running updated versions of BitTorrent Sync

I also use backupsy.com $7 deal, using for about 2 months now with no problems,
i have a ownCloud server at home use it as cloud sync for BTSync, i use backupsy as off site backup,
for the ownCloud to backupsy backup tool i use Duplicati, all files to backupsy are AES-256 encrypted,
i can do full and incremental backups, all this is very easy to setup, if you need help just ask...
Note: i even installed VNC remote desktop and hosting 5 websites and still using way less then the 500 mb max ram..

Add This To Your "hosts" File and BTSync Can't Call Home
"127.0.0.1 t.usyncapp.com"
"127.0.0.1 usyncapp.com"
"127.0.0.1 www.usyncapp.com"

So is this now a Dead Project, i think many do not understand how it works..

As you Said "as long as the participants are aware of it"
Don't get me wrong i like this a lot, but i can see it going very bad,
some idiot can set this up for a non tech savvy user (new girl friend) and say hay i have a new way for us to communicate,
gives her user/folder key to a few of his buddys without her knowing.
No way in the web gui for a non tech savvy person to understand how this works.

This is Awesome, No 3rd party server keeping logs of your message -
But i don't thank most of you get it, this is for private communication between two people or a small group, This is not Twitter.
