*Note that as per the FAQ, the connection request needs to be accepted
within 48 hours by entering your Briar address. However after that
introductions can be made without timeout concerns.*
Briar doesn't hold as big place in my heart as IRC or Matrix to have a
dedicated page either and my HTML table tendency is effort even if the page
wasn't given a navigation menu entry.

## Further reading and quotes
* https://briarproject.org/quick-start/
* > Please note that Briar will only synchronize messages with your contacts, not with nearby strangers who are running Briar. And it will only sync the messages youve chosen to share with each contact. For example, if you invite your contacts X and Y to join a forum, and they accept, then messages in that forum will be synced with X or Y whenever theyre within range. So you can receive forum messages from X in one location, travel to another location, and deliver those messages to Y.
* > But this doesnt work for private messages: theyre only synchronized directly between the sender and recipient.

* > No. Unlike with adding contacts at a distance and its 48 hours timeout, there's no such thing for introductions.
