1) Browse to this URL :https://retroshare.ch/invite

2) Connect to a friend server over tor.   I did not find any server, so I spent some time creating a docker image and I'm now running a hidden service at this onion address : st5aftoje62sosmnj5yaxfetagiyngjonmi6vdmjtyhatgxniwjmixyd.onion port 9878.

First time you launch Retroshare-gui, don't forget to click on "New Profile/Node" then chose "Hidden Node (over Tor)".
When you got the main window, click on Network Icon, then Friend Server tab then add the onion address I pasted above, then type your password (the one you just created), then click on "ON/OFF" and set friends to request to 1 (otherwise you'll have to wait while my hidden friend server reaches 10 peers so it could take a while as my hidden server is currently unknown and hidden) :D

Here is my retroshare ID (as I lost the one I posted in my original message) to add me as a friend and start discovering this nice platform : ABCbHbfBHi3JDnaznA8Y6AYBAxT4hQyxdqkf5G9Eg0uTOO9OGOju3AEIRXJyb3I1MDCQRAAAAAImljJpaGgzZXd4ZGJodHN5Y2xoamRpMzZ6c2phZmJjaWV1M3Zkc2Nkdnk2dTRwcHRkemx6ZGtnZGFkLm9uaW9uBAOjJ7c=

Best regards,
Christian
