With the large number of rumors that currently exist about spying on the web, right now we should try to find an application that will help us chat with our friends privately and without anyone finding out, about the projects that we could be proposing with them.
Under no circumstances are we trying to promote illegal privacy but rather, one with which everyone should identify; It does not matter if through a chat room we talk with friends, couples or simply as an entrepreneur about a business, but rather that These talks should remain in the minds only of their participants. and even more so, from those who have dedicated themselves to trying to look for security holes, to know what our activities are at home or in the office. An interesting tool called "Bit Chat" could help us with this type of task, which is compatible with both Windows and Linux.
Download, installation and configuration of «Bit Chat»
We could start by describing the way this application works, although beforehand we need to let the reader know that the configuration is one of the "most conflictive" aspects that could arise at a given time. This is due (according to the developer of "Bit Chat") because the tool seeks certification of use by its users. The first thing you have to do is go to the developer's URL and choose the version you want to work with, which will depend on the operating system you have on your personal computer. There is both a version for Windows and Linux, the latter alternative perhaps being the best (for example, in Ubuntu) since this open source operating system offers better privacy guarantees for its users.
When you run the application for the first time you will find a window very similar to the one we have placed at the top; Right there the user is being asked to enter their respective credentials, although if they do not yet have them, they can open a free account with the respective button; If we choose this second alternative, a form will appear where the most important fields are in the name, email address and password that we need to use to activate "Bit Chat", something very similar to what we will place below.
A little peculiar feature that you come to admire in this application over other similar ones, is in the encryption code it uses. You can choose the one suggested by this tool or import one that you have contracted.
If at this very moment you press the button that says "Start Bit Chat" an error pop-up window will appear because you have not yet verified the respective activation through the email received; For this reason, you must go to the inbox to find an email that you must reply with “empty” content and later to another that will activate the service.
This last email you receive from the “Bit Chat” developer will tell you that you can now log in with the application.
Once you click on the respective button, the interface will change to a more user-friendly one. There are a few fields perfectly well differentiated that you can start using according to your needs.
For example, on the left side there is the "+" sign that will help you invite a contact or Create a chat group on a specific topic. In the middle part, all the talk you have with each of these people will unfold; You can choose any of the contacts included in your list to have a private conversation if you do not want others to see it. Towards the right side, however, are the respective fields where each of these contacts will appear and also the options that will allow you to send (share) files with any of your guests. The developer justifies this tool by saying that it will keep everything that is discussed through this system completely private.
