We've been talking about the need for private messaging on Memo. Separately - it's a tricky thing to put messages on a public blockchain and claim it's forever private.
Is there a way to send a text through BCH but not saved on the Blockchain?
Something like Counterparty/Omni; secured by BCH but not stored on BCH itself if I understand correctly
You could store a hash of the message on-chain, so the tx would only verify a message, not store it. This way, if logs get leaked, they can be verified.
Do not make the claim it is forever private. Make the claim it is "forever" there.
Well nothing is forever. ;) and to me it makes sense. You will protect your private key better. Of course old messages can not be deleted. But that is what it is for. Protect history.
= key port making bold claims?
Assuming only people with private key can decrypt the message, then the privacy can be kept. However i agreed, in case the private key is lost, there is no way to delete the old msgs.
Not just that. New developments could appear that may allow us to plausibly decrypt these messages. e.g. Older prime based algos with small keys are no longer used.

Yeah the public key cryptography that bitcoin uses would need to change, but so long as you don’t reuse addresses (like we all do with memo), they won’t be able to steal your money
Interesting - is there a @memo app?
Working on it. 🛠️
I'm using an android app tat i created with a basic web view with the url to this site, works for me for now.. :-P
better than going to the browser every time.
please, I want :)

Yes, for Android, see Keyport.cash
No, these are two different things. Memo is all public - all communications. Keyport is private and encrypted, although stored on the blockchain.
