+
+{% trans -%}
+An easy way to help people message eachother privately is to run an
+I2P-Bote peer which can be used by new bote users to bootstrap their own
+I2P-Bote peers. Unfortunately, until now, the process of setting up an
+I2P-Bote bootstrap peer has been much more obscure than it should be.
+It's actually extremely simple!

+
+       What is I2P-bote?
+          I2P-bote is a private messaging system built on i2p, which has additional
+          features to make it even more difficult to discern information about the
+          messages that are transmitted. Because of this, it can be used to transmit
+          private messages securely while tolerating high latency and not relying on
+          a centralized relay to send messages when the sender goes offline. This is
+          in contrast to almost every other popular private messaging system, which
+          either require both parties to be online or rely on a semi-trusted service
+          which transmits messages on behalf of senders who go offline.
+
+          or, ELI5: It's used similarly to e-mail, but it suffers from none of e-mail's
+          privacy defects.

+
+**{%- trans %}Step One: Install I2P-Bote{%- endtrans %}**
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+I2P-Bote is an i2p plugin, and installing it is very easy. The original
+instructions are available at the `bote eepSite,
+bote.i2p <http://bote.i2p/install/>`__, but if you want to read them on
+the clearnet, these instructions come courtesy of bote.i2p:
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+1. Go to the plugin install form in your routerconsole:
+   http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients#plugin
+2. Paste in the URL http://bote.i2p/i2pbote.su3
+3. Click Install Plugin.
+4. Once installed, click SecureMail in the routerconsole sidebar or
+   homepage, or go to http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2pbote/
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+**{%- trans %}Step Two: Get your I2P-Bote node's base64 address{%- endtrans %}**
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+This is the part where a person might get stuck, but fear not. While a
+little hard to find instructions, this is actually easy and there are
+several tools and options available to you, depending on what your
+circumstances are. For people who want to help run bootstrap nodes as
+volunteers, the best way is to retrieve the required information from
+the private key file used by the bote tunnel.
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+**{%- trans %}Where are the keys? {%- endtrans %}**
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+I2P-Bote stores it's destination keys in a text file which, on Debian,
+is located at */var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/i2pbote/local_dest.key*. In
+non-Debian systems where i2p is installed by the user, the key will be
+in *$HOME/.i2p/i2pbote/local_dest.key*, and on Windows, the file will be
+in *C:\\ProgramData\\i2p\\i2pbote\\local_dest.key*.
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+**{%- trans %}Method A: Convert the plain-text key to the base64 destination{%- endtrans %}**
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+In order to convert a plain-text key into a base64 destination, one
+needs to take the key and separate only the destination part from it. In
+order to do this properly, one must take the following steps:
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+1. First, take the full destination and decode it from i2p's base64
+   character set into binary.
+2. Second, take bytes 386 and 387 and convert them to a single
+   Big-Endian integer.
+3. Add the number you computed from the two bytes in step two to 387.
+4. Take that nummber of bytes from the front of the full destination.
+5. Convert back to a base64 representation using i2p's base64 character
+   set.
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+A number of applications and scripts exist to perform these steps for
+you. Here are some of them, but this is far from exhaustive:
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+-  `the i2p.scripts collection of scripts(Mostly java and
+   bash) <https://github.com/i2p/i2p.scripts>`__
+-  `my application for converting
+   keys(Go) <https://github.com/eyedeekay/keyto>`__
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+These capabilities are also available in a number of I2P application
+development libraries.
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+**{%- trans %}Shortcut:{%- endtrans %}**
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+Since the local destination of your bote node is a DSA destination, then
+it's quicker to just truncate the local_dest.key file to the first 516
+bytes. To do that easily, run this command when running I2P-Bote with
+I2P on Debian:
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+::
+
+       sudo -u i2psvc head -c 516 /var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/i2pbote/local_dest.key
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{%- trans %}
+Or, if I2P is installed as your user:
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+::
+
+       head -c 516 ~/.i2p/i2pbote/local_dest.key
+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+**{%- trans %}Methon B: Do a lookup {%- endtrans %}**
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+If that seems like a bit too much work, it's possible for you to look up
+the base64 destination of your Bote connection by querying it's base32
+address using any of the available means for looking up a base32
+address. The base32 address of your Bote node is available on the
+"Connection" page under the bote plugin application, at
+`127.0.0.1:7657/i2pbote/network <http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2pbote/network>`__

+
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+**{%- trans %}Update the built-in-peers.txt file with your new node{%- endtrans %}**
+
+{%- trans %}
+
+Now that you've got the correct destination for your I2P-Bote node, the
+final step is to add yourself to the default peers list for `I2P-Bote
+here <https://github.com/i2p/i2p.i2p-bote/tree/master/core/src/main/resources/i2p/bote/network>`__
+here. You can do this by forking the repository, adding yourself to the
+list with your name commented out, and your 516-char destination
+directly below it, like this:
