HushChat Beta Guide

Ask somebody for their HushChat z-address (z-addr)

They click the button that says "zs1" and it will copy it to their clipboard. Give every contact a different z-addr!

When you know a HushChat z-addr, send a contact request

Make sure you have funds! Send yourself funds 3+ times or with 3+ outputs in one transaction, so you have multiple "notes" to spend. This means you can send another memo before waiting for a confirmation. If you don't, you will need to wait for 1 confirmation every time, before sending.

Click the "add contact" button at the top left, and "Send Contact Request" screen will show up.

Choose a name
Enter zaddr
Choose an avatar (custom avatars coming soon)
Add a custom memo introducing yourself
Click "create new address" to make a custom new zaddr for this contact
Click "Add contact and send request"
Close "send contact request" window (this will autoclose in the future)

If you sent a request, be patient!

It may take a few minutes. This process became twice as fast as of November 2020 at Block 340,000, when our block time decreased to 75 seconds.

Once your contact has accepted

And you get a response, now you can type encrypted memos back and forth and enjoy a bit of privacy 😎
