Mar 17th 2011 11:54PM Ahh peoples .. Anthill is a encoding solution ..

Curious that they note that the hardware encoder is a step behind the software implementation in terms of quality.

TorChat, anonymous and secure messaging and file transfers (Download Squad)

Feb 9th 2011 7:41AM Some choice tidbits ..

Important: Tor 0.2.2.x-alpha is badly broken, hidden services don't work at all (for all known definitions of "work"). Tor 0.2.1.x (the current stable release) is also broken but not nearly as bad.

The Tor binary which is bundled with TorChat is taken from the official Tor-0.2.1.29

It is essential that you don't lose the private_key file belonging to your ID because the one who finds it will be able to pretend to be you. Using a tool like TrueCrypt is a good idea when you intend to use TorChat on a portable USB drive as these devices can easily be lost or stolen.
