Chat?

[faddat]

Projects usually have some kind of "hub" chat.

There are a whole bunch of advantages and disadvantages to each, but if we're going our own way....

What about a text-based, secure P2P chat designed to run on Raspberry Pi computers for now, and soon, on Minimus machines.

I think that willingness to run a single board computer (or a VM, or even a native go app on your laptop, I suppose) would be a super-great filter.

Yeah, we're not on slack/discord.

wdyt?

Ofc, in the long term, seems like the chat would actually run in gno, with messages being delivered to realms and decrypted with a private key held by users/devs. I think.

Lets just do pure Gno for now, for focus for Gno. A Gno instance could be private, so the following would be useful either on chain or off chain.

type ChatMessage struct {
    OwnerID
    CreateTime
    Text string
    Attachments []Attachment
}
type Attachment struct {
    Type string
    Data []byte
}

And the attachment type could be "text/cipher".

This is what I was hoping for. It will take me some time to put together, but seems super-worthy.

Will probably package this in a device image that boots up and gives user Gno-- I find that this helps more people to use things.

The big issue with chat is that it's unrealistic to require signing (and ledger verification of) for every chat message. There ought to be root-of-trust/CA like system where one can delegate some trust to another crypto system for messages (and other things like limited sends).

[faddat]

definitely, makes a lot of sense.

yes

We now have Discord, I suggest to close this.

Do not hesitate to reopen or open a new issue if you think that we should keep discussing something on the topic.

Oops, reread the issue, and finally I think that it's not addressed by Discord. -> reopening

@faddat could you change the issue title to make it more obvious about what it is, please?
