We assume all clients use a common tox profile format, though +most complement the Tox profile with an ini file or similar. + +If you just copy a profile from one device to the next it will not work as +you cannot have 2 profiles with the same keys online at the same time. We could have a simple utility that rekeys a profile and creates a new ToxID, so that we could copy a profile and rekey it. Then the new client running the rekeyed profile could send a DHT announcement updating to the new ToxID. \ No newline at end of file
