# Session Desktop

## Summary

Session integrates directly with [Loki Service Nodes](https://lokidocs.com/ServiceNodes/SNOverview/), which are a set of distributed, decentralized and Sybil resistant nodes. Service Nodes act as servers which store messages offline, and a set of nodes which allow for onion routing functionality obfuscating users IP Addresses. For a full understanding of how Session works, read the [Session Whitepaper](https://getsession.org/whitepaper).

Added Bug, Ideas and Fund Sections to the Readme I added the following sections based on the Android Repository: - Contributing Bug reports - Contributing Ideas - Contributing Funds The first two should be in the readme, so the issue tracker stays an issue tracker and does not mutate into a discussion forum. The contributing funds additionally links to the BitHub blog post, so people can understand what it is and where their money goes. // FREEBIE (although it looks like, BitHub isn't set up for this repo yet?) 2015-11-25 10:45:22 +01:00
