+Frequently Answered Questions
+=============================
+
+## Is this a replacement for IRC?
+
+```ssh-chat``` and IRC have overlapping scenarios. ```ssh-chat``` right now doesn't have channels like IRC does, 
+but for smaller projects and teams, ssh-chat might be better in the long run. ssh-chat identifies users 
+by their public keys so authentication is automatically handled by sshd. ```ssh-chat``` is also easier to set up 
+since all a user has to do is connect via ssh to a specified IP as opposed to installing an IRC client, 
+connecting to a server, and connecting to a specific channel.
+
+## Can I block users from connecting?
+
+Yes. ```ssh-chat``` has a whitelisting feature which allows you to take users' public keys and add them to a 
+whitelist, so that only they may connect when their public key matches the authorized keys given to ```ssh-chat```.
+
+## How can I build ssh-chat?
+
+First make sure you have a copy of the Go compiler (1.6+ should be fine). Next you need a workspace for 
+the Go compiler to do all of it's builds. Make a directory, something like ```work``` in your $HOME folder, 
+where we can place the source folder into.
+
+The next step is setting up our GOPATH so Go knows where it can start building and downloading packages. 
+After that we can copy the source code into the GOPATH directory for compiling.
+``` bash
+mkdir ~/work
+export GOPATH=~/work
+git clone https://github.com/shazow/ssh-chat ~/work/src/github.com/shazow
+cd ~/work/src/github.com/shazow/ssh-chat
+make
+```
+That should make the workspace directory, export the GOPATH to your environment, clone the 
+repository into the workspace, change directory into the code, and start executing the Makefile instructions 
+for you.
+
+If you have any trouble building, please open an issue on the tracker and let us know what problems you run 
+into during the build process.
