Without my public key you mean no doubt? No. And I'd also need your public key too. I could encrypt something to your memo public key but that is not good opsec.
The Hexadecimal public/private key is generated from your non-hexidecimal keys, correct?
(e.g keys) C$~)vT`2jiyD^oRiCVFRxvF^T?>DYp)SnJ@])u#U**poyIJXR].;dv:TEY9s:$4IpI,9iK.RjDeDDIFs{Gi8EER&eUXE2Tmn_FC_:SdM,fbyyI;k|G!Q}HoS>a[wTl`okqR.Yv!%RiRF6H
With my memo key pair (everyone can find my memo public key on the blockchain, and everyone can find yours too). But memo stores your password in browser cache in plaintext
Storing the password in browser cache plaintext sounds like bad news.
Well, otherwise we'd have to type it in for every action. Thankfully, nobodies stupid enough to have more than a few dollars in their account (if that). Clean your toilet lol
It is important to clean your toilet by aiming your piss stream with precision and determination.
If I understand correctly, I can use my private key to generate the HEX private/public key, which can not be used to get into my account, but if I can share my private HEX to those-
to those who I want to be able to decode the messages I write on memo.cash(?)
An easy addition to that tool would be a scanner that checked every encrypted message for something sent to you. The only thing that's missing is the tying of a public key 2 account
But for me to read that message, I would need to have the private HEX key.
Or I would have to have sent it out to those who will be able to send me private messages.
No. You share the public key of your offline generated private key. You can get the 66 char hex public key by inputting the private key to bitaddress.org->wallet details
I am new to encrypting/decryption of messages using hex keys, so I am just shooting in the dark here.
And only by having the public key, people will be able to sent me encrypted messages?
So for example, if I wanted to share something private with you. I'd go to my offline pc, generate a private key then take it's associated public key, post it here...
Then if you post your own public key, I could encrypt a message to that which you could decrypt using both my own public key and your own private key
Generate a private key using the private key of your account (Bitcoinlsp2p..)
If we both post our public keys, then I will be able to decrypt your message, using my private key.
To create my public key, I will need to have the private key to generate it first.
Yes the last two messages are precisely it. Not the one before that though.
I'm going to bed, no public key from me. Although I did post one a while ago in this thread so have at it.
I see, anyone that has their public key (generated from their private) will be able to receive messages from anyone that wants to send them over the chain.
Interesting, thanks for the knowlege:)
Yes exactly, in fact we could already do it using our memo keys as you can find my public key onchain and I can find yours likewise. It's just not advisable cos of password security
So to figure out where to send the PM's, the protocol values could be sndname(30), rcvname(30), message (154)
