INSTANT MESSAGING made invisible, and minus the dot-cons!
===============================================

These are the instructions to instant message (IM) a person like myself over the invisible internet (I2P) and using the open messaging protocol, XMPP. It works on all devices and desktops, including Mac, but not iOS (general tip: avoid apple).

STEP 1) Get I2PRouter (or i2pd)
----------------------------------------
- Visit https://geti2p.net/en/download and get 'i2prouter' for the device you intend to IM from (optionally get 'i2pd' instead, but I like to recommend i2prouter because it comes with some nice things like a torrent client. These instructions are thus for i2prouter and 'I2P for Android', although they *may* match very closely to i2pd).
- OPTIONAL BEST PRACTICE: You may want to verify the downloaded file by downloading the accompanying "sig" file into the same folder and using 'pgp4win' or the `gpg --verify-files <SIG_FILE>` command on your GNU+Linux.
