Will this eventually be merged? about ctypes-otr HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, the plan is to eventually add OTR support directly to Instantbird core. There's a bug on file: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954310

from ctypes-otr.

Hopefully soon.

That's good. Is this based on the source code for the Pidgin plugin or does this do its own thing? What does it use for encryption? Can someone on Pidgin using the OTR plugin communicate with an IB user using this plugin?

I really hope that the answer for the last answer is a yes.

It uses libotr, but Pidgin plugins are not compatible with Instantbird.

What does it use for encryption?

I'm afraid I don't really understand this question. You'll need to be more specific.

Can someone on Pidgin using the OTR plugin communicate with an IB user using this plugin?

Yes, of course. It uses the OTR protocol from libotr.
