description='Ricochet uses the
Tor network to reach your contacts without relying on messaging servers. It creates a hidden service, which is used to rendezvous with
your contacts without revealing your location or IP address. Instead of a username, you get a unique address that looks like
ricochet:rs7ce36jsj24ogfw. Other Ricochet users can use this address to send a contact request - asking to be
added to your contacts list.
Danger Always keep Tor up to date. See below: Updating the Tor binary included with Ricochet'
