It's a bit geeky, but it works actually rather simple.
To become a real IPv6 friend, you need to do the following things:
-- Generate a GPG key with a comment named RIF following the URL of
- your computer
+- Generate a GPG key with a comment named **RIF** following the URL of
+ your computer (f.i. **RIF https://nico.ungleich.cloud**)
- Ensure that the URL points to the IPv6 address of your computer
- Setup a webserver on your computer
- Export your key and all real IPv6 friend keys to your webserver as
- For each of your friends, check whether they are online
- Import the friends of your friends and check whether they are
online, too!
+- Send friend requests (like other platforms!)
### Example: Generating a key with the right comment
You can probably just use your mail program for that - and you might
even be able to send it IPv6 only!
+### Example: Invite a friend
+
+Live is not great without friends! Let's invite a friend! This is as
+easy is this:
+
+```
+printf 'Hello yournamehere!\n I am looking for real IPv6 friends.\n You find my friends on https://nico.ungleich.cloud/rifkeys.\nHow real IPv6 friends find each other is explained on https://code.ungleich.ch/nico/rif.\n Looking forward to befriend you!' | mail -s "friend request" ipv6@your.friend.example.com
+```
+
+And obviously this is waaaaaaaaay to long to type. That's why
+`rif-invitefriends.sh` puts this nicely into a script.
+
+Attention: this requires a working mail setup on your computer
+(i.e. outgoing emails sending by `mail` works).
+
## Finding friends
As real IPv6 friends are decentralised, there is no central registry
