Private Messaging on Hive.pm

avatar
(Edited)

Here is a very interesting tool that allows for private messaging directly on the Hive blockchain. It does this using the Memo Private Key to cryptographically lock and unlock a message in the form of a Hive memo. The minimum cost to send a Memo is 0.001 HIVE or 0.001 HBD, but in a typical conversation you could exchange back and forth the same 0.001 HIVE / HBD. This means it is free in most cases.

The website can be accessed here: https://hive.pm/

You can login via the Hive Keychain using your Posting Private Key: https://hive-keychain.com/

The screenshots below show a typical example of an encrypted message, which I sent to my second account @mestruth.

Pressing the "decrypt" option shows the message I sent, which is "testing".

Interestingly, the PeakD wallet allows for seeing the encrypted / decrypted message directly in the list of recent transactions.

Why does it say that it wants my "master"password when I tried to log in??

Interesting. Definitely don't put in your master PW. Try the other ones, or use Hive Keychain instead.

I knew it was out there, trw made it a long time ago, but I thought it was deprecated.
Good to know.
