-**Why to:** While ToxDNS services don't **necessarily** reveal any information about the user's to their operators, they are currently one of the most centralized parts of Tox(Technically, they are federated). If the ToxDNS service which hosts the name goes down(Such as tox.party) the ID may become unreachable through the username that service had on record(It will still be reachable by Tox ID or from any other ToxDNS service where it was registered). Fortunately, anyone can run a ToxDNS service for themselves or their friends. The documentation on this how to is a little thin right now, it's on my to-do list this week.

 **Why not to:** Tox is still in development, and major changes to the code might have an effect on whether clients are compatible with eachother. Many people receive daily or near-daily updates. If you're only interested in using a Tox Client to communicate and don't have an exceptional need, it's probably best to get it via an official channel, either the developer's website, or an official package or source repository. **Why not to:** Tox is still in development, and major changes to the code might have an effect on whether clients are compatible with eachother.
