The DCchat program I wrote about a couple of weeks ago is ready for test
now.
It is available at http://www.geocities.com/cryptosw. It is written in
Python and
requires threads and Tkinter support built in.

I ended up leaving out the "nym" feature, all messages are anonymous. Mostly
at this point I want to know if it works with moderate numbers of users
(3-20).
Can the DC net scale? When does it fall apart?

Any questions please feel free to ask. Perhaps people could agree on a
time
to try a chat?

If you want to try chatting, first run the program once ahead of time and
it will
create your host key in a file hostkey.pub. You can post that and users
can check
to see if it is present in the list. Eventually I hope to automate this
checking to
some degree, a la ssh.
