IRC!
IRC means Internet Relay Chat. It's a text chat system where you can talk to community members.
#cryptoparty@irc.oftc.net
Please note that OFTC can be used via SSL and Tor.
Webchat into that channel (webchats are not secure at all!)
irssi + tor + screen on debian/ubuntu
as root :
apt-get install polipo tor irssi screen
In order to make sure you are running the most up-to-date version of tor please refer to torproject.org/docs/debian
Now you should have installed: polipo, tor, torify, screen and irssi. Default settings work fine for now.
as root :
/etc/init.d/polipo start /etc/init.d/tor start screen socat TCP4-LISTEN:4242,fork SOCKS4A:localhost:irc.oftc.net.:6697,socksport=9050
add a new “window” in screen:
ctrl+a c torify irssi
connect to the server, change your nickname and join the channel:
/connect irc.oftc.net /nick your_new_nickname /join #cryptoparty
