So, no authentication is billed as a feature, but just means you might get spam notifications?


If you choose "mytopic" as a topic, yes. If you choose "eximius-1", probably not. If you are paranoid, you can choose "ZfxdjfdkAFHFJKL" and then you have an "auth token".

That said, auth is on the list of things to add. It'll be optional and I will try to make it simple. There's a ticket for it here [1]
