Tachyon is a translation layer between MSNP18 & the Matrix API.

• Redirection to localhost
• User/Password login
• Profile pics
• Display names
• Presence (kinda working, WLM is not really compatible with the Matrix way of handling presence currently)
• 1v1 DM Rooms
• Text messages
• File upload
• Multiple Points of Presence (showing all your logged in sessions)
• E2E encryption (kinda, no client validation)
• Vocal messages
• Group dms (they appear when someone else talks in them)

• Photo sharing
• Contact management (Add, remove, etc)
• Handle all the default matrix messages types (m.notice, etc)
• Presence updates when presence disabled on homeserver
• Add & Delete contacts
• Font Styling for text messages
• Custom events for WLM's specific messages (like nudges & winks)
• Try to map Circles to non DM Rooms
• Handle DM rooms with more than two people
• Contacts recent activity
• MSNToday
• MSNObject stores (Emoticon packs, winks, etc)
• Custom Games & Activities

There are three distinct components making Tachyon tick:

1. Notification Server - TCP Server listening on port 1863: This server handles the meat of MSNP18.
2. Switchboard Server (or Mixer) - TCP Server listening on port 1864: This server handles rooms. One room per TCP connection.
3. HTTP Server: This server handles all the SOAP Services used by the client (and various bits and bops)
   • The Address Book: Handles the Contact List
   • Sharing Service: Handles the membership lists (Who has added you back, Who did you add in your contact list)
   • Storage Service: Handles updating and getting your profile
   • RST2, Request Security Token: The SOAP Service responsible for authenticating the client

• The Escargot Project
• Luis Mariano Guerra and his project Emesene
• Pang Wu, Ethem Evlice, Scott Werndorfer & The MSNPSharp Team
• All the people that saved documentation and packet capture from the time
• The Matrix Foundation & the team behind the Rust SDK
• The team behind Windows Live Messenger, especially 14.0: thanks for all my childhood memories and friendships that still carried on to this day
