So to summarize, the protocol simply scans the blockchain for txns (opt. only from addrs you follow), if there's an OP_RETURN you can decode using your priv key, it's a msg to you!
Cool, 038f68504dabd8bf4b6faef83b888e3b681a5f47185a2548e1c13239617e220226 ... but um, I'm having a hard time getting bitcoin-encrypt to work from the example there. Anybody got it?
And please post here with a link to the whole protocol once you've described it!
I love it.. I think you're a bit beyond me with some of this stuff, but I wanted to point out paste.city for example does exactly the post/update txt files thing for free now.
That would be cool, but might be overkill.. the messages would be completely encrypted even if the URL was public. Still, it'd be cool if the URL was encrypted too.. more privacy!
@taowanzou I like the tip idea too where people can filter by their own spam tolerance. Are you suggesting a way to also encrypt the URL in the op_return? Is it small enough to fit?
Good point. I'm not soo cryptography-savvy, so I wasn't sure if just from somebody's public address (isn't it a HASH of the public key?) you could encrypt messages to them? Can you?
LUV BCH sounds nice too! So hard to decide.
Just get more cars I guess! LAMBOS.
Unfortunately I can only use 6 characters maximum. Was thinking "BITCSH" as an alternative but that looks too close to "bitch", haha. Maybe "BTCASH"?
Ah, so short.. my FARTGAS wouldn't have "passed". Yeah, BTCASH is pretty good.. or BCH4ME, ME4BCH, BITCSH, FORKED, BIGBLK, LUVBCH, BCHLUV... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It might be cool if in the UI there was a way to sum up the total balance of all the people who liked a post (along with how many unique likes). Just more info, and makes it harder to astroturf!
Of course, the messages wouldn't be stored in the blockchain forever, but I think for private/direct messages that's actually fine/what you'd want. Anyway, any thoughts/problems? :)

The issue is PGP encrypted messages are WAY too big for OP_RETURN. So, again you would just put in a URL (essentially a pointer to text) in the OP_RETURN, using a pastebin site...
Then people private message you just like a public reply to a post is now in memo, except the message is encrypted with your PGP key so only you can read it (anonymously still)...
You would post a PGP public key somewhere (could use a pastebin site like paste.city), and then do an on-chain txn putting in the OP_RETURN "PGP
https://chain.city/3"...
I think a way to do direct/private messages on the memo protocol would be pretty cool.. you could then essentially have craigslist functionality on here. I have an idea on how...
I've been thinking of getting a personalized license plate that says "BCASH". Take back the name. Also considered "BCH PLS" but that's been done already. What do you guys think?
Maybe go with BITCASH?
