RE: Using Hive's Built-in Messaging System To Create An Alterlative To Discord

in LeoFinance2 years ago

It seems you missed that peakd has already a messager implemented. No need to pay 0.001 Hive for a message.
Just check that small bubble left of the bell symbol in the upper right corner!
On leofinance.io you won´t find it.

Sort:  

Yes but is that on-chain and can that be read by other applications or is that something exclusive to Peakd and their internal servers?

If the latter is the case, then we end up in a similar situation as with Discord although without shutting down an account.

I simply dont know the technical details of it.

It is off-chain, so messages are not open to be read by anybody.
It is based on Beechat and runs on the Hive-Engine Servers as far as I know. So centralized, but within the trusted Hive ecosystem. Not to be compared with something like Discord.

Which then brings up the question of whether that stuff needs to be on-chain?

For community stuff, perhaps. DMs obviously not.

That's BeeChat you're talking about. It's an option, but not if you sign in to PeakD using Hivesigner:

BeeChat currently does not support Hivesigner login

Maybe that has been rectified? I don't know. If not, than this feature would need to be made available in such a way that it doesn't matter how we connect to a Hive front-end (Hivesigner, Keychain, Smart Lock, etc.)
