Pretty interesting. Is it open-source?

Wait what? Why the fuck would anyone use this?

You need to encrypt messages FROM the client, and pass it directly TO the other user. The server cannot know anything of the contents of the message. See cryptocat for an implementation.

Thanks for the feedback friend. cryptocat is a great piece of software also, but a different scope than this project.

So I've been working on a little project for someone, it's a PHP/MySQL shared-secret chatbox to be used on the Tor network.
If anyone wants to check it out, there's a version here -> http://www.rackverse.com/hashline/

Feedback or tips welcome! I may post this on Github if there's interest (and it will encourage me to clean up the code  Wink)

Note: nothing you send to or from the server is encrypted, as it's encrypted server-side before its stored. The final project will be Tor-hosted so we can assume end-to-end is secure, however this demo is not.
