it can be used to talk or chat through the internet,

it is using strong encryption.

but for example TOR is using some obfuscation because some countrys try to block all outgoing connections which can not be scanned with DPI

And the TOR Project is facing an arms race in obfuscation and encryption detection.

You can friend someone if you give him your public Certificate.

both peers must friend each other.

i suggest to not enter a valid e-mail address. it is not necessary, but pgp needs a mail addy. something@something.so fits perfectly… :)

http://redd.it/18vsq5 <– faq, featurelist, todo, howto, useful links to manual wiki etc, …

you can connect to chatservers, which will give you access to chatlobby, where always some people are lurking.

please have a look at this link. it is a FAQ, QuickTip, HowTo, etc etc etc …

If you want to make friends, please use the Chatservers.
#1 https://www.f2f-fr.net/w2c/en/
#2 http://retrosharechatserver.no-ip.org/w2c/en/

if you enter your certificate, the chatserver adds you as his friend and shows his certificate too add him to your friends.

After the connection to the chatservers is established, you can join a few chatrooms where the chatserver is lurking.

in this rooms are other people too help you and make first friends and get into the network.

add friends only with wisdom. if you friend some policeman, it will be problematic like in real life.

best is to add only people you trust in real life or trust from other communitys too. and not to add random unkown strangers.

If you have questions, ask them in the chatlobbys, there is always someone to answer them.

please read http://redd.it/18vsq5

or question me here :)
