9For all the work we've put into Tox so far,
10there isn't yet a decent guide for how you _use_
11Tox. Here's a user-friendly attempt at it.
12
131. Connect to the network!
14 + You need to connect to a bootstrapping server, to give you a public key.
15 + Where can I find a public server? Right here, as of now:
16 (the help message from running `nTox` with no args will help)
17 + `198.46.136.167 33445 728925473812C7AAC482BE7250BCCAD0B8CB9F737BF3D42ABD34459C1768F854`
18 + `192.81.133.111 33445 8CD5A9BF0A6CE358BA36F7A653F99FA6B258FF756E490F52C1F98CC420F78858`
19 + `66.175.223.88 33445 AC4112C975240CAD260BB2FCD134266521FAAF0A5D159C5FD3201196191E4F5D`
20 + `192.184.81.118 33445 5CD7EB176C19A2FD840406CD56177BB8E75587BB366F7BB3004B19E3EDC04143`
212. Find a friend!
22 + Now that you're on the network, you need a friend. To get one of those,
23 you need to to send or receive a request. What's a request, you ask?
24 It's like a friend request, but we use really scary and cryptic numbers
25 instead of names. When `nTox` starts, it shows your _your_ long, scary number,
26 called your *public key*. Give that to people, and they can add you as
27 as "friend". Or, you can add someone else, with the `/f` command, if you like.
283. Chat it up!
29 + Now use the `/m` command to send a message to someone. Wow, you're chatting!
304. But something broke!
31 + Yeah, pre-alpha-alpha software tends to do that. We're working on it.
32 + Please report all crashes to either the [github](/) page, or `#tox-dev` on freenode.
335. Nothing broke, but what does `/f` mean?
34 + `nTox` parses text as a command if the first character is a forward-slash (`/`).
35 You can check all commands in commands.md.
366. Use and support Tox!
37 + Code for us, debug for us, document for us, translate for us, even just talk about us!
38 + The more interest we get, the more work gets done, the better Tox is.
