+# Notes on usage
+Before any of the API calls are done, `NimMain()` needs to be run.
+
+After this any of the asymmetric or symmetric keys API calls can be done.
+
+Before any actual Whisper calls are done, `nimbus_start()` needs to be called.
+This will setup the Whisper node, start discovery and connect to the Status
+fleet.
+
+After this call you can use the Whisper related calls such as
+`nimbus_subscribe_filter` and `nimbus_post`.
+
+`nimbus_subscribe_filter` allows you to pass a pointer to user data. This will
+just pass the pointer to the, by you provided, callback. You can use this to
+have a certain context in the callback.
+
+Be aware that when using this with cgo, you will have a problem when passing a
+Go pointer that contains other Go pointers, as this is no longer allowed.
+See also: https://golang.org/cmd/cgo/#hdr-Passing_pointers
+
+This can be resolved by refering to it indirectly, e.g. using a map in Go
+containing the pointers. See here for an example solution:
