- | **The Conglomerate** (**conglomerate.com**) is a chat beacon - a server that lets people connect to each other peer to peer. Effectively, this means that apart from the initial handshake, none of the chatting is ever //done// on The Conglomerate, unless expressly consented to by both parties for logging purposes. | ||
- | It's considered a decently secure way to have private conversations, especially since the chat protocol itself is encrypted - but it still runs on software supplied to client machines by The Conglomerate server and thus requires some degree of trust in that none of it is rerouted. | ||
- | |||
- | (True security would have to run deeper and be realised through software inherently available and audited on client machines.) | ||

- | Conglomerate 'keys' are simply connection components. They don't factor into the encryption, but they allow initial connection to a room by identifying the chatroom. They can be used providing the room itself hasn't completely detached from the Conglomerate server (by being declared 'full'). | ||
- | |||
- | Note that this doesn't invalidate the claim that none of the chat data ever goes over the server - but the server //will// maintain a list of connections per room as long as it hasn't expressly been told to detach and butt out. In that sense, it purely serves as a connection pool and as a provider of the (volatile) software needed to run Conglomerate chats. | ||
