                  WhatsApp Clone, but Decentralized with P2P Messaging

                  App: Enkrypted.Chat

                  "Secure and private" is the general goal.

                  This is a technical/concept demo of a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-first and webrtc.

                  This is intended to introduce a new paradigm in client-side managed secure cryptography. We can avoid registration of any sort.

                  Features:

                  * P2P
                  * End to end encryption
                  * Signal protocol
                  * Post-Quantum cryptography
                  * File transfer
                  * Local-first
                  * No registration
                  * No installation
                  * No database
                  * TURN server

                  Feel free to reach out for clarity instead of diving into the docs/code.

                  IMPORTANT: While this is aiming to provide a secure experience, it isnt audited or reviewed. **Shared for testing, feedback and demo purposes only.** Please use responsibly.

                          **First entry into RetroShare: how to find peers**

                          In RetroShare you don’t “find people” in the usual sense. You don’t search — you agree. This is a fundamental mindset shift; without it, the first launch will always feel empty.

                          The first thing to accept: there is no global lobby in RetroShare. The emptiness after installation is not a bug, but the honest state of a network without links. Until you have trusted contacts, you literally have no network.

                          **The basic method — out-of-band contact.**
                          Peers are found outside RetroShare. These are friends, colleagues, members of thematic communities, people from Matrix, XMPP, IRC, Mastodon, forums — any place where key exchange can happen safely. RetroShare does not start with a “search” button, but with the phrase: “here is my key.”

                          **The second path — a control peer.**
                          The most reliable way for first entry is a second instance you control, or a pre-arranged experimental partner. This removes uncertainty: if the connection fails, the issue is technical, not social.

                          **The third path — thematic islands.**
                          There are small RetroShare communities built around ideas: privacy, P2P, darknet research, offline activism. They are not widely advertised because the network is not designed for random influx. Entry always starts with dialogue, not a click.

                          **What does not work.**
                          Publishing keys into the void. Waiting for someone to add you. Relying on auto-discovery. This is centralized-network thinking applied to a system where it has no meaning.

                          **How to know you’ve found a peer.**
                          The contact comes online. The connection stabilizes. Services start working: chat, forums, file exchange. At that point RetroShare stops being an abstraction and becomes an environment for communication.

                          **Bottom line:**
                          in RetroShare, people appear first —
                          and only then does the network emerge.

                              Behold! The net cop gives expensive advice! You are basically requiring that I pay for yet another ERC20 cryptocurrency token just to send text messages.

                              From the Autonomi site:

                              "WHEN SOMEONE (A PERSON OR A COLLECTIVE) UPLOADS DATA THEY PAY A FEE TO DO SO."
                              "+1 Million tokens on offer for early contributors."
                              MaidSafe is credited as having invented the ICO. I wouldn't touch it or any of its descendant projects with a ten-foot pole.
                              "MaidSafe are the team behind Autonomi ..."
                              Didn't you learn from Maidsafe+Mastercoin ICO and ten thousand other ICOs already? The purpose of digital 'tokens' is to separate gullible people from their dollars or euros or yuan or rubles, providing in return something they could already have for free or so cheap it's nearly free. It appears that the people behind Maidsafe are also behind the crypto token you are suggesting, for merely posting text files. Get outta here!

                              Newscard has several selling points:

                              0. It's not for sale. Try that with Autonomi, Maidsafe, and a thousand others.
                              1. It is free, unlike your suggested cryptocurrency pump.
                              2. My solution is simple and elegant - naming small text files for retrieval.
                              3. Newscard uses existing infrastructure already in operation for decades.
                              4. Many mature client softwares and terminal emulators already exist for the task.
                              5. Newscard doesn't require investment or payment.
                              6. Newscard doesn't have an integrated, useless payment system.
                              7. Newscard is ANONYMOUS and uses The Onion Network by default.
                              8. Users won't lose their money when using Newscard.

                              And my Newscard solution doesn't require taking zillions of dollars from people who will likely never see a return on their token investment. Storage token sale schemes are a dime a dozen. I can't believe you think I have the credulity to swallow such a scheme.

                              For almost two decades running countless crews have claimed that they will, 'decentralize the Internet' if you give them your money.

                              Newsflash: The Internet already is decentralized. Decentralization is a basic part of the design of the Internet. It already routes around damage and censorship by default. Why do I need to pay for a crypto token for something that already exists? Decentralized Usenet has been in continuous operation for decades. I'm already using the 'decentralized Internet' for the Newscard protocol. I've been using the 'decentralized Internet' since forever! It doesn't need to be decentralized by crypto pump schemes. The Internet is already decentralized.

                              So we already have a decentralized Internet where data storage is abundant and cheap. And these token pumpers want to set themselves up as gatekeepers so we have to pay them to get the tokens to store our data. That is not decentralization. That is the essence of a centralized monetary gatekeeper!

                              You accused me of misusing Usenet. Yet I am only doing what people have done with Usenet for decades--posting encrypted messages. I'm not misusing Usenet. You're misusing my patience for cryptocurrency dumps and re-hashed token sales strategies.
