This fork of ZeroBin refactored the source code to allow easier and cleaner extensions. It is still fully compatible to the original ZeroBin 0.19 data storage scheme. Therefore such installations can be upgraded to this fork without loosing any data. -Visit the [installation guide](Installation) or help us [developing](Development) the tool.
