I finally managed to at least open the login screen, but after trying to log into my account I get this error message. However, I've been trying to use it since last month with no success. It used to work OK, with a few adjusts made through winetricks. It will also be fun to program chatbots for Skype.A few years ago, I started using MSN (Windows Live Messenger revival project by Escargot) through Wine on Fedora. It's only a matter of time now until Pidgin can natively support Skype accounts. This other site has a lot more details on the current status of the Messenger protocol. In Googling MSNP24 I found this site where efforts are already underway at reverse engineering it.

The last version of Windows Live Messenger used MSNP19 (or MSNP21 depending who you ask), so the new Skype protocol is just the next version of MSNP.

On the other hand, it makes sense for them to make Skype conform to and their other services that used MSNP, rather than upgrade all their other services to use the Skype protocol. Even third party clients like Trillian that had Skype support were technically using SkypeKit, a developer tool that allowed Skype to be remote controlled, but which kept all the proprietary bits a secret still. It's interesting that Skype "downgraded" to the MSNP though, given that Skype's old protocol was an impenetrable fortress of obfuscation and encryption that nobody's ever managed to reverse engineer. The RNG and ANS commands were invisible to the user in the official client, but allowed for some interesting behaviors in our chatbots (like immediately sending you a message the moment you open their chat window, before you even begin to type anything!) The protocol consisted of command lines, typically three letters long (some I remember offhand: NLN-go online, FLN-go offline, BRB-set status to "be right back", RNG-request a conversation with a contact ("ring"), ANS-accept a conversation request ("answer"), and MSG-send a message). X-MMS-IM-Format: FN=Arial EF=I CO=0 CS=0 PF=22 As an example, this is what you'd see going over the network if somebody sent a chat message to a friend: MSG 4 N 133 There is some outdated documentation up through MSNP10 that we referenced in developing an MSN module in Perl. MSNP is a plain text, line-delimited protocol similar to SMTP. I'm reasonably familiar with it from back in the day when I used to work on chatbots that signed in to MSN Messenger to accept their add requests and carry on conversations with humans. The Microsoft Notification Protocol (MSNP) is the protocol used by MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. I wrote previously that the MSN Messenger service was still alive but it looks like it's the future of Skype as well.

The new Skype protocol - Microsoft Notification Protocol 24 - promises better offline messaging and better messages synchronization across Skype devices. On June 20, 2014, Microsoft announced the deprecation of the old Skype protocol. The Wikipedia article said something interesting: In other news, I decided to Google the Skype protocol, and see what the progress is on people attempting to reverse engineer it, to be able to build an open source third-party Skype client (e.g. And I don't know of any way to pry icons out of the Linux binary of Skype. I took the latest Windows version of Skype and dumped all its icons trying to find these weird symbols but came up empty-handed. I posted about it on Reddit and the Skype forum with no responses, as if I'm the only one who's ever seen this. On my previous installation of Fedora, Skype twice showed a weird issue where it replaced some of its icons with Chinese (or Korean, or something) symbols.
Skype for Linux has been poorly maintained, going years between updates sometimes, and who knows what kind of unknown zero-day vulnerabilities are in there.

Today, Fedora 21 was released and I upgraded to it immediately, and decided not to install Skype this time.
