commonware-chat
Send encrypted messages to a group of friends using commonware-cryptography::ed25519 and commonware-p2p::authenticated.
Offline Friends
commonware-chat
only sends messages to connected friends. If a friend is offline at the time a message is sent,
commonware-p2p::authenticated
will drop the message. You can confirm you are connected to all your friends by checking the value
of p2p_connections
in the "Metrics Panel" in the right corner of the window. This metric should be equal to
count(friends)- 1
(you don't connect to yourself).
Synchonized Friends
commonware-p2p::authenticated
requires all friends to have the same set of friends for friend discovery to work
correctly. If you do not synchronize friends, you may be able to form connections between specific friends but may
not be able to form connections with all friends. You can learn more about why
this is here. Other
dialects of commonware-p2p
may not have this requirement.
