FluxChat

A decentralized, peer-to-peer, encrypted chat written in Python.

FluxChat uses asymetic-encryption to encrypt messages end-to-end. TLS is used to encrypt the traffic between single nodes. Kademlia algorithm is used to route messages and position nodes in the network.

Quick Start

Dependencies:

• Python 3
• virtualenv
• gettext

Run this in your favourite shell, Bash.

brew install gettext virtualenv
git clone https://github.com/FluxChat/fluxchat-py.git
cd fluxchat-py
./bin/setup.sh
./bin/start.sh

Features

• Peer-to-peer connection without a central server.
