How to set up a meeting point

The idea is to keep a node running and to use it to set up rendezvous.

• Launch your navigator and do “new node”
• Go to the dialog box and be sure that “kill node when living” is off
• In "Actions" menu do "myAdress" (Ctrl-C), the IP/port of your node
• The meeting point is now in your clipboard. You can paste it in your invitation e-mail, blog or web page

If your meeting point stands close to a famous meeting point, you will certainly have a lot of people in the surrounding of yours. But be careful to not be "eaten" by a too famous meeting point !

Hint

You can choose your port using a configuration file. Edit the following example.conf and do:

• python twistednode.py -f example.conf
• python navigator.py

and do "Connect to existing node", the port is the xmlrpc port of the .conf file

Known bug

There is a memory leak in the navigator, don’t forget to quit the navigator once a day.

When re-launching the navigator, do “connect to existing node”.

How to jump to a meeting point

Direct Jump

The less friendly way to jump to a meeting point.

Someone gave you the address of a meeting point 123.45.567.89:9999.

To jump there, just paste 123.45.567.89:9999 in the "Jump near" dialog (Ctrl-G or "Actions" menu).

Using bookmarks

You can bookmark a "meeting point" by doing right-click on the avatar.

Then you can jump to meeting points using the "Bookmarks" menu

Solipsis URL

Instead of using copy/paste to set up a meeting point a solipsis url can be used. Just click in your browser on the link !
