For instance when someone orders off a shop there needs to be a message to inform the shop owner. Needs to be an ID since that is how Safe identifies the recipient. There will be of necessity be a messaging protocol allowing people to send a message to an ID. There is a messaging component to the network for internode communication. Maybe someone could think of a way to batch them so it wouldn’t be as expensive.Īnyways, what are your thoughts on instant messaging through SAFE? I suppose that might have to use the PUT method. I’m not sure how this would work for offline messages, though. When we get a message, the client would display it to us, and if it’s configured to save logs it would put several in one batch before making a PUT. When we log on, we would connect to a server, but it wouldn’t have to be the same one every time. We would store our identifying information and credentials on the safe network. It sounds like there’s going to be a lot of overhead involved with PUTs, so a long series of short, fast messages isn’t the ideal use case. One way to do it would be simply by PUTing the messages that are intended for a given recipient at an agreed-upon key. I feel like the SAFE Network will make that a possibility. What we need is an open source protocol that’s truly decentralized, encrypted, extensible. When your home server goes down, you lose your account, and unlike with email, there aren’t many large reliable institutions offering service on these networks. I prefer to think of them as polycentric rather than decentralized. There are “decentralized” solutions like XMPP and Matrix, but these are reliant on “home servers”. When you leave one, you lose all your contacts. Most of them are proprietary and walled gardens. Right now, I need so many different messenger clients to keep in touch with people. I’m really hoping the SAFE Network will offer a solution to the instant messaging problem.
