For those who use instant messenger software.....

If you happen to use IM clients with your fellow shroomerites please use this advice for a more secure chat.
For all your IM needs you can download gaim. It's an open source client and supports multiple networks and has alot of neat features. Most importantly of all it has an encryption plugin which supports 1024-4096 bit key encryption. It is very seamless to setup and I will be happy to respond to any pm's offering any help or advice. Here are some links to get you started.

cool. gaim is definitely http://www.miranda-im.org is also good encrypted chat is available via plugins: http://www.miranda-im.org/download/index.php?action=display&id=38 trillian pro also has encrypted chat, but it's not opensource/free like gaim and miranda. I highly recommend it, however.

I have trillian. It works pretty good, and I like the fact that it lets you set up multiple acounts for all of the major IM services. Do these other programs allow you to chat with people using AIM, MSN, etc?

Icq supports a PGP plugin for chat purposes as well..... and pgp is one of the best and most respected encryption dealies out there.
Worth looking into, if you're concerned.

I would rather call the DEA and tell them I was growing drugs than mentioning any part of it on an instant messenger.

All of the AIM chat is logged by aol servers.
I saw this once in a case on court tv in which important details about a murder were discussed and the FBI contacted aol to retrieve the log.

One of the biggest wapons the DEA has is the Paranoia people have of them. Its big because the costs are minimum, and the results are huge. Bust a few small growers, and the rest freak out. They love it I bet.

I wouldnt use this. You are not anywhere near as secure as using gaim and the public key encryption plugins.
