TinyTalk

You need to run tinytalk from the directory where you have your tinytalk.creds file. Obviously, this could be a parameter, but it isn't so deal with it.

tinytalk.creds

I will give you a file encrypted with your Keybase identity. Suppose your keybase identity is keybase:mcboaterson. I will give you a file named mcboaterson.creds.enc. You will need to decrypt that file into a file named tinytalk.creds.

For example:

$  keybase pgp decrypt -i mcboaterson.creds.enc > /path/somewhere/tinytalk.creds

tinytalk executable

I've built a linux and darwin (mac) version of the tinytalk program. You can pull it from the releases directory. You can put it in your PATH or you can put it in the same directory where tinytalk.creds is. You can download from this repo's releases or you can use go get to build the program.

Listen for messages

To listen for messages, change to the directory where tinytalk.creds reside and run:

$ tinytalk listen &

Send an unencrypted message

To send plain text messages, change to the directory where tinytalk.creds reside and run:

$ tinytalk say -m "this is what i want to say"

If you want to identify yourself as the sender, use this form of the command:

$ tinytalk say -s "boaty" -m "this is what i want to say"

Send an encrypted message

To send a private messages, change to the directory where tinytalk.creds reside and run:

$ tinytalk say -m "this is what i want to say" -k "keybase:mcboaterson"

In this case, the keybase identity is the target of the secret message. If you want to identify yourself as the sender, use this form of the command:

$ tinytalk say -s "boaty" -m "this is what i want to say" -k "keybase:mcboaterson"
