You're right! However, in the current state NymX Messenger is more or
less a POC, because the Nym Mixnet has currently no Nym Hiddden Services,
as the Tor Network has, but it is on their agenda.

There is no detailed README, because of this, as regular Nym addresses
are bound to other Nym components in the Nym Mix Network, thus making NymX
Messenger currently not production ready, as users need to frequently
change their Nym(X) addresses, when gateways come and go.

This needs to be addresses in the future from nym.com, to have 24/7
over years, reliable inner-mix-communication. With the Nym Mixnet and
clear net comms there are currently no issues, when using NymVPN.

Note, this is not the fault of NymX, it is the current nym.com network design.
