We'll need a method to have each message sent to an unique address to obscure who you are communicating with.
But ultimately wouldn’t you be paying the fees with a known address, tying everything back together?
You guys are reinventing encrypted decentralized chat services. Ring.cx already does this, no blockchain.
If you don't get it, I don't have time to convince you, sorry.
Doing it on the blockchain has a few advantages (and disadvantages too, of course).
lol, ring is as much decentralized as skype was in early years. you are comparing apples with oranges. Blockchain is far, far superior. It’s the innovation, DHT is not.
>Blockchain is far, far superior. It’s the innovation, DHT is not.
That is the most stupid thing I've heard this week.
2/2 cause dht is only used for IP address look up, and actual conversation is p2p. That said, you can only communicate while online, which is uncompetitive.
lol, elaborate no? I don’t think personal messages should be implemented on top of blockchain, but dht based messaging services don’t work well (1/2)
Even for encrypted communication immutability and universal timestamps can be useful - for courts, including court of public opinion
