Matrix isn't P2P. You didn't even provide an email. No one is going to reach out unless you can create something to document at a high level what you think is so special about your ideas.

Incorrect.

It's nowhere near mature/stable, but they are definitely working on it.

First, just because they are working on something doesn't make it something. That is like saying... hey I'm working on adding encryption. It isn't there yet, but I can still claim my app is encrypted.

Also, P2P overlays already exist in multiple forms.. Yggdrasil, Nebula, Tor, etc. Yet another example of them trying to re-invent the wheel when it isn't even necessary. Tox already does this.
