Thanks for indulging my experiment with Cryptocat encrypted chat, especially those who tried but couldn't quite get in. Jelks & IMZ, sorry we missed you.
A few of you made it into Cryptocat Unobtanium chat room, only then to be disappointed with how boring it is to chat with me. Bitcoin Charlie especially learned the hard way.
I learned that Chrome worked well on Cryptocat. I just installed the free app from the Chrome store and then it appeared on the toolbar. Clicked the toolbar and then I was in.
Firefox was tricky because of an extra step involved. After installing the Cryptocat add-in from
https://crypto.cat, I then had to place the cryptocat icon on the Firefox menu bar. To accomplish this in Windows 7, I had to right click just to the right of the Firefox Url bar, enable Menu Bar, and then also select Customize. From the Customize menu, I dragged the Cryptocat icon and dropped it on the menu bar, where it now sits and works perfectly. Now when I want to start Cryptocat, I just click on the icon in the menu bar. It's easier than it sounds, once you know the secret.
IE... It doesn't appear to work with IE. Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Opera work with it.
I'll stay logged in today. I might not be around all day staring at, but if you want to just get closure on installing Crypto.cat and should you finally make it to the chat room, at least you'll see someone else logged in.
