BREAKING NEWS. Memo will be integrated on bitcoin.com's wallet on Monday
Oh god I tipped the troll 2 million satoshi.
It's a serious issue - there is nothing stopping anyone from creating an identical username to anyone here and begging for tips right now
All famous people should just evolve and post on their biography a link with the twiiter announcement showing they are not fake
I think there should be a unqiue user id or nick name would be better.
It's not technically possible. Anyone can broadcast the "set name" protocol with a name of their choice from any OP_return capable wallet.
It's technically possible to look up Namecoin name registrations made with the same key as memo profile, and display the unique name if a match is found
But nothing is stopping miners from putting a "set name" transaction in a block even if a clash is found.
It does not matter. You look up a name in a separate network, and if a match is found UI display this Namecoin name instead of plain 0x6d01memo name.
Unique Namecoin names can further be distinguished in UI, with color and similar tricks.
My "name" is unique. It contains Cyrillic characters. Unique names is not a way to prevent such scams
I've added a way for users to tag accounts as "verified" on memo++. Link in bio.
I like this memo++ Chrome extension. Verified a few users on their profile pages. Not muted anyone yet ;)
Mute me
Try me
Muted?
They will still get a notification if you reply directly to them, but should they encounter your posts anywhere else, the posts will be hidden, showing: "X has been muted"
Just added this. Now muted users are hidden for good, even in notifications.
(If you recognise your address, no worries I've unmuted you, just testing)
"1LczRLXR7DAkWkFYuLjUAXVEYERdyQ5yMM has been muted."
For once, the incomprehensible BCH addresses have a visual use
That is easily solvable on a UI side as well. Highlight all those imposters tricks with color. Works pretty well, especially when combined with "connections" percentage.
That said, you name is only unique in terms of unicode. We can very easily create a framework that will help in distinguishing "perceived uniqueness".
Thx Memo for tipping my 2 million back. I appreciate ! :)
Nobody makes it rain like @CityBusDriverBitcoin
It's only Saturday. If, by Monday, Bitcoin.com wallet adds memo.cash, you have to tip back!
Saving this img for the next bull run ;)
Want it back or to tip it to the real @memo?
Well, we can also thank him in a way... with stress tests like this, mute, moderating, flaging etc... will have to be developed sooner.
Troll could just return with a tip back
aaaahhhhh....thanks @cityBusDriverBitcoin makes me feel much better!!!
I only tipped them 5678 satoshi's... which was returned to the rightful owner :)
Which troll?
That memo account is fake.
