[Feathercoin Core] is the original Feathercoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Feathercoin transactions (which is currently several GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more. Thankfully you only have to do this once.

## BitMessage encrypter peer to peer private messaging

Bitmessage is an open source fully encrypted peer to peer messaging system. Because it does not pass through a central server it is also harder to collect meta data.

In order to pass invoices or addresses privately, a version of BitMessage can be set up to integrate with Feathercoin.

Currently Bitmessage acts as a plugin with MS Windows, invoice information can be passed straight through to an encrypted message. Install BitMessage for windows and copy the executable to the Feathercoin install directory.

It is still worth considering using Bitmessage to send your public address keys, although that is mostly about privacy not extra security.
