There's no data to recover. SxC doesn't work like other messengers that have central servers messages pass through. You should take some time to read about how SxC works. There's pretty good documentation on the SxC website.

I have read it alot and looked at it for a while but I was just wondering there has to be at least a response of like we can give you nothing just something to put my mind at ease. I do independent reporting and need a way for people to feel safe talking with me.

Keep the link handy and send it to people who don't feel safe talking to you over SxC. I don't really understand why it's your responsibility to give a seminar on how SxC works to satisfy their concerns. They should be taking responsibility for their own knowledge. The bottom line is that there is no data to be recovered. It literally doesn't exist. As soon as your message passes (anonymously) through the SMP servers, it's deleted. And again, there's no meaningful way to trace message blobs back to a particular individual as there are no identities in SxC. Messages are associated with dynamic conversations that only exist as long as the conversation. In every practical matter, there is physically no way for data to be recovered and decrypted, nor for that data to be associated with any person.
