LiveSupport's Jabber setup/Secure chat
Secure chat:
I would recommend you to use jabber and not do stupid mistakes by using skype and other insecure chat systems. Skye is the most popular chat tool on HF and I have no idea why (Just wants to make me cry). Skype might be a good idea for family and friends connecting together but I think a forum like this needs to advance up a bit and move away from it.
So lets replace skype with jabber! let me show you how to set it up its very simple and easy.
How to setup jabber:
1) Download pidgin: https://www.pidgin.im/download/
2) Download the OTR plugin for pidgin this will encrypt the messages when using jabber. https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/binaries/windows/pidgin-otr-4.0.0-1.exe
3) Now go here http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/account/create/ or http://xjabber.org/ and make a account. Make sure you remember the username and domain and password you picked you will need it later on/
4) Now open up pidgin now at the tool bar at the top
Click Accounts > Manage Accounts > Add
Then a box should pop up this is where you put in your jabber information. You need to put the protocol as XMPP, the username is the one you picked when you signup on http://jabber.hot-chilli.net/account/create/ same for the domain its the one that you ticked when signup on the jabber site. Password is also the one that you picked when you signup on the jabber site. The recoruce box nothing needs to be in there and the password is the one you typed when you singup for the jabber site. Now click remember password. Ignore the Local alias and click ADD button.
Here is how you should have it fill out: http://prntscr.com/3lat8r
5) Now to add the OTR plugin after you downloaded and set it up you will need to add it to pidgin to do this you will need to go to Tools > Plugins > Then tick off the record messaging.
Like this : http://prntscr.com/3lavo6
Now you can add your buddy's by there jabber email by going to Buddies > Add buddies then type the buddies XMPP/Jabber email.
You jabber email will also be shown in the accounts section. Thats the email you share with your buddies to add you.

I've been using Skype for more than seven years and guess it's time to move on to something new. I'll be creating myself jabber shortly as well.

You can create an account straight through pidgin by the way, just make sure you tick "Create this account on the server."

Only if the server has that enabled. I have my own server and I've disabled it.
