+Package whisper implements the Whisper PoC-1.
+
+(https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Whisper-PoC-1-Protocol-Spec)
+
+Whisper combines aspects of both DHTs and datagram messaging systems (e.g. UDP).
+As such it may be likened and compared to both, not dissimilar to the
+matter/energy duality (apologies to physicists for the blatant abuse of a
+fundamental and beautiful natural principle).
+
+Whisper is a pure identity-based messaging system. Whisper provides a low-level
+(non-application-specific) but easily-accessible API without being based upon
+or prejudiced by the low-level hardware attributes and characteristics,
+particularly the notion of singular endpoints.
