Title: 2 ideas : internal forum wallet - encrypted forum emails...
Post by: BitMos on December 15, 2014, 06:29:51 AM
Hello,

My 2 suggestions. I think it would be cool to have a forum integrated wallet, and be able to get emails from the forums encrypted.

Having a forum wallet isn't a good idea for many reasons, but the best we could hope for is an integration of an external application like changetip which I personally would like to see. Also, people can encrypt their messages thenself if they wish.

If the forum were to encrypt PMs then the forum can decrypt PMs which kind of defeats the purpose of encrypting them in the first place.

If you have something that needs to be encrypted then it is always best to encrypt it yourself

I was thinking that it might not be totally useless for the forum to encrypt PMs using JavaScript. This might discourage subpoenas, at least. The forum would be technically capable of decrypting messages in almost all cases by changing the JavaScript, though, so you wouldn't be able to rely on this encryption. Also, the messages would be lost if you forgot your forum password, so enabling encryption by default might be too dangerous for the average user.

This won't be in the first version of the new forum software.
