Also get error if I try and build from source, would love to try Gossip but at the moment the difficulty in installing exceeds my technical knowledge.

Hey Steven! What error are you having? I just installed on Arch from source no problem at all. I will be happy to help you out if I can.
The errors run pages long. I'm trying to get help from the AUR maintainer, hopefully that works out.
After having another try it looks like the failure to build from source boils down to this error "ignoring invalid dependency 'pin-utils' which is missing a lib target".
Hmmm that sounds like something funky with your rust install. You have probably done exactly this, but the steps I took to successfully build were as follows (I have no idea it the markdown will work, apologies if this post is ugly as sin)
```sh
$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
$ sudo pacman -S base-devel cmake openssl fontconfig
$ git clone https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip
$ cd gossip
$ RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native --cfg tokio_unstable" cargo build --release
$ cd target/release
$ strip gossip
```
Maybe you need to reinstall rust, is my best guess, but I am not an expert by any means. Just hoping the steps I took might help you out 🤝
sorry, that didn't work well, lesson learned
