matrix-whisper-bridge

A two-way bridge between the matrix protocol and the whisper protocol

Development

1. Clone repository and enter project folder

   git clone https://github.com/noman-land/matrix-whisper-bridge.git
   cd matrix-whisper-bridge
   

2. Install dependencies

   npm install
   

3. Install geth

4. Launch lightweight testnet with proper whisper settings for Status chat protocol

   geth --testnet --light --shh.pow=0.002
   

5. You need to add Status peers so you can join the network.

   First connect to the running geth instance

   geth --testnet attach
   

   Then add the peers from this list: https://github.com/status-im/status-go/blob/develop/params/cluster.go
