Something I've been experimenting with lately is Cabal (https://cabal.chat), a fully decentralized and encrypted chat platform.

The TL;DR:
* FULLY decentralized: If a node goes away and never comes back, that's fine. No central "owner".
* Anyone with the proper secret key (cabal://longhashhere) can partipate in chat. Anyone else is out of luck (e.g. no wire snooping)
* In general, IRC-like
* Existing TUI works great with 80x25/ANSI

What are others thoughts on this? We have IRC (which _can_ be encrypted, but you need a central server to enforce it), we have MRC (which I love, and is certainly a bit more *BBS* oriented, but not decentralized or encrypted).
