Description:
C: |-
<p>Ricochet is an experiment with a different kind of instant messaging that doesn't trust anyone
with your identity, your contact list, or your communications. - You can chat without exposing your identity
(or IP address) to anyone - Nobody can discover who your contacts are or when you talk (metadata-free)
- There are no servers or operators to compromise that could access your information - It's cross-platform
and easy for non-technical users Ricochet is a peer-to-peer instant messaging system built on Tor hidden
services. Your login is your hidden service address, and contacts connect to you (not an intermediate
server) through Tor. The rendezvous system makes it extremely hard for anyone to learn your identity
from your address. Ricochet is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Tor Project. For more information,
you can read about Tor and learn about Ricochet's design or protocol (or the old protocol). Everything
is open-source and open to contribution. **This software is an experiment**. It hasn't been audited
or formally reviewed by anyone. Security and anonymity are difficult topics, and you should carefully
evaluate your risks and exposure with any software. Do not rely on Ricochet for your safety.</p>
