Title: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: joesmoe2012 on September 13, 2013, 08:05:48 AM It would be convenient if I could list my bitmessage address in my profile. Many uses (such as myself) have signatures disabled and thus don't see it there.
It's very easy to do and I see no downside. Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: b!z on September 13, 2013, 01:19:24 PM I think that is a good idea. There are options to add MSN, Yahoo, Skype etc, so why not have Bitmessage? It's better than Skype etc :-)
Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: favdesu on September 14, 2013, 10:24:04 AM yep, good idea! please add it
Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: dserrano5 on September 14, 2013, 11:03:43 AM Yeah +1 to this, fwiw.
Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: HeroC on September 16, 2013, 12:52:04 PM Great idea! If it is implemented then it would free world a lot of space in my signature. +1

Furthermore, the last BitMessage client (0.4.0) implements Namecoin integration. I still have to dig in it better, but maybe this new feature could open doors to further integration with forum users' profiles. Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields.

It's better than Skype etc :-) Hate to be that guy but "MSN, Yahoo" fields are included by default. Every SMF forum has those profile field. Skype isn't even an option. The only custom field that theymos added was "Bitcoin address" and "Trust"Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: theymos on September 25, 2013, 12:32:46 AM AFAICT, BitMessage is seriously flawed in several ways, so I don't expect it to exist in the long-term (in its current form, at least). So I don't want to promote its use.

Perhaps there could be a custom contact field so you can enter "BitMessage: BM-..." or "Tox.im: [keyid]" or "GPG fingerprint: [fingerprint]".Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields.

I only use Google talk for chatting, and you don't have that listed either. Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: theymos on September 25, 2013, 01:24:51 AM OK, I added an "other contact info" field.
Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: TheButterZone on September 25, 2013, 02:06:06 AM I wish Bitmessage would be as easily installable on all platforms as, let's say, Mozilla Thunderbird, first.

Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: abacus on September 27, 2013, 03:37:56 AM OK, I added an "other contact info" field. Thank you very much theymos. AFAICT, BitMessage is seriously flawed in several ways, so I don't expect it to exist in the long-term (in its current form, at least). So I don't want to promote its use. Your words have scared me a bit. So the request for a security audit (on the BitMessage wiki) seems more urgent than what they wrote? Anyone wants to share his thoughts or some relevant link? In meantime, I have just read this: Bitcoin Forum > Other > Off-topic > Bitmessage security breach? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=278757.0;all) :o Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: theymos on September 27, 2013, 03:57:44 AM I don't know of any particular security problems, but it seems inelegant, not at all scalable, and just generally not well-thought-out. (Similar to Namecoin.)
Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: abacus on September 27, 2013, 04:35:06 AM Got it, thanks. :)
Edit: Poor old Namecoin... It is the only ALTcoin I like ::) Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: n00ber on September 27, 2013, 02:45:13 PM I really like this feature but was vetoed. :D
Title: Re: Add BitMessage to additional profile fields. Post by: dserrano5 on September 27, 2013, 06:27:25 PM I really like this feature but was vetoed. :D No, theymos added an "Other contact" field you can use to publish your BM address. |
