-Q-Chat is a fully custom blockchain-based instant text messaging system. It utilizes a custom transaction type on the Qortal Network, along with a custom memory-based Proof Of Work algorithm (that runs relatively identically on any device) to send real-time messages to groups, users, etc.

It utilizes a custom transaction type on the Qortal Network, along with a custom memory-based Proof Of Work algorithm (that runs relatively identical on any device) to send real-time messages to individual accounts (P2P) as well as groups. At the moment, Q-Chat only allows for text messaging, but will soon have voice and video.
-There is a 'Global Chat' that is a worldwide public chat room for Qortal Users to communicate. On top of that, the creation of GROUPS ON THE CHAIN, in unison with Q-Chat, will provide each new group a default group chat where they can communicate with their group's users.

-The goal of Q-Chat is to provide a TRULY SECURE peer-to-peer encrypted method of text-based communication for its users. To avoid reliance upon ANY centralized service provider to both run, access, and utilize Qortal, get updates from development, etc.
