The complete message overhead for LXMF is only 111 bytes, which in return gives you timestamped, digitally signed, infinitely extensible, end-to-end encrypted, zero-conf routed, minimal-infrastructure messaging that's easy to use and build applications with.
## Code Examples
Before writing your own programs using LXMF, you need to have a basic understanding of how the [Reticulum](https://reticulum.network) protocol and API works. Please see the [Reticulum Manual](https://reticulum.network/manual/). For a few simple examples of how to send and receive messages with LXMF, please see the [receiver example](./docs/example_receiver.py) and the [sender example](./docs/example_sender.py) included in this repository.
## Example Paper Message
You can try out the paper messaging functionality by using the following QR code. It is a paper message sent to the LXMF address `6b3362bd2c1dbf87b66a85f79a8d8c75`. To be able to decrypt and read the message, you will need to import the following Reticulum Identity to an LXMF messaging app:
