All I can say is: keep adding certs from this forum, from RS forums, and keep accepting connections in the Activity tab.

And stay online!

Ok, so my keyring looks like this now. I've so far accepted one friend request, and this person shows up in the centre. The green nodes are the ones where I've "accepted connect", and the blue ones are where I've not done this yet. Should I add more friends? Accept more connections? Does one do these thing indiscriminately or should there be some level of discernment?

That's @bzorl 😉

Should I add more friends?

Always

Accept more connections?

Always

I would accept/add only Tor/.onion certs and ignore any with their IP-addresses in clear. If you are not going to use i2p - ignore .i2p certs as well.

Can anyone tell me why I am getting this error message? I am on Mac.

@newg - For RS you do not need tor-browser. RS contains its own Tor.

I use VNC to access the 2d machine (with Xubuntu). Also, there is a CLI version of RS with a remote GUI (never used this one).
