qTox - Secure Chat Client
qTox is a desktop app that uses a P2P connection rather than a centralized server to send messages. We've got 4 of us using it already, so why not jump on the bandwagon.

You add people to your friends list via their Tox ID, which is a long hashcode like string. Once you've created an account and logged into the client, you can find out your Tox ID by clicking on your name. Here's a couple to start you off, post yours here once you sign up.

- Everything's encrypted, so outsiders can't spy on your convos.
- It has voice and video calls, if you're into that sort of thing.
- You can randomize your Tox ID if you're getting harassed or spammed with friend requests.
- Lighter system footprint, at least compared to Skype(on average 50% less CPU and 10% less RAM)and Curse Voice(over 75% less RAM, curse is pretty bloated memory-wise)
Cons: - Group chat logs aren't automatically saved (you have to do it manually via right click copy or ye olde Ctrl C
- Due to the P2P connection, "queued" messages will only be sent when both parties are online.
- Seems like there's some bug with the Online/Away indicator, but doesn't affect actual performance.

Behold, the heathen scum who refuses to convert!
Look at him, look at him and laugh, for the wrath of the LORD shall soon descend upon him, and strike him down with great vengeance and furious anger!
