Tox.Chat: A New Kind Of Instant Messaging

[Razer]

I've had qtox on my machine for some time now.

Note that the interface is a little obscure about how to hook up with
others. Click your username at the top and you'll see a string that
looks like:

E611C7673C4C9C84C7F53BD8A2DF46C3131CB260E5758392B6B22FE18072C57569661208F92E

AFA Signal, desktop, they want to run it in Chrome only. For some reason
that makes me nervous... Maybe if they develop a stand-alone like
Telegram...
