    What is Bit Chat?

    Technitium Bit Chat is a secure, peer-to-peer (p2p), open source instant messenger designed to provide end-to-end encryption. Primary aim of developing this instant messenger is to provide privacy which is achieved using strong cryptography. It can be used over Internet and private LAN networks for instant messaging and file transfer.

    Features:
    - Works similar to a bit-torrent client so, no servers involved!
    - No meta data is stored since even we don't know to whom you are chatting with.
    - Works as LAN chat just as it works on the Internet.
    - Can work in private LAN networks not connected to Internet.
    - Open source code allows you to inspect the implementation.
    - Provides end-to-end encryption with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) using DHE-2048 or ECDHE-256.
    - Protocol is secured with AES 256-bit encryption.

    Hello,
    Why does it requires to contact the team in order to get an account and start using it ?
    This is never going to spread like uTox or Ring do.
    I wanted to try, but that's kind of... Disturbing.
    Good luck anyway.

    Well, you can read this link for the answer: https://bitchat.im/faq.html#q2 . It is however possible to use it anonymously by configuring a anonymous proxy or using Tor Network.

    That, I understand, but in this situation they need to answer. They never answered to me. Therefore, I can't use their application.
    Is the project down ?

    I am myself the maintainer of this project and I do answer all queries that I receive by email. You can ask me any query that you have in mind. Secondly, the project is still in its early stage and a lot of changes to it are being planned. I am open to suggestions and will be happy to implement whatever is feasible to make this project useful.
