 ## Basic chat usage
 
-> The chat app requires that the remote peer connected to is supports the WakuStore protocol. For Dingpu this is already the case.
-
 Start two chat apps:
 
 ```
-./build/chat2 --ports-shift:0 --storenode:/ip4/134.209.139.210/tcp/60000/p2p/16Uiu2HAmJb2e28qLXxT5kZxVUUoJt72EMzNGXB47Rxx5hw3q4YjS
-./build/chat2 --ports-shift:1 --storenode:/ip4/134.209.139.210/tcp/60000/p2p/16Uiu2HAmJb2e28qLXxT5kZxVUUoJt72EMzNGXB47Rxx5hw3q4YjS
+./build/chat2 --ports-shift=0
+./build/chat2 --ports-shift=1
 ```
 
 Type `/connect` then paste address of other node.
