Title: Great anonymous and encrypted chatroom
Post by: mart on February 12, 2013, 03:11:14 PM
Hei!

Just want to share a great private chatroom with bitcoiners: https://chatver.com/

Why i like this chat system:

  • Messages are encrypted with Javascript in browser, server does not know the encryption keys (https://about.chatver.com/#security (https://about.chatver.com/#security))
  • Simple, no registration needed
  • I'm the creator of it ;)

I appreciate any feedback about the site!

Thanks! :)

I've been looking for something like this ever since cryptocat took a detour and became unusable for me...

Edit: Any plan on releasing the source code for the project?

Cool, but how do you make money from it?

Yes, but not before we have enough users.

Someone make a chat so I can join it.

There is no proof though that you are not storing IP addresses though, is there?

Now why wouldn't you trust him? I mean it's not like he's using two accounts already in the same thread to keep up the pretense of people using this thing. Oh, wait, he is (mart and GoldExpert)

Had some ideas pop up in the chat room.

Anyone can delete all messages any time. What about making it wait like 10-15 seconds before it deletes everything so people can see the last messages?

Another idea, delete everything older than x minutes. So the last couple of minutes are still available.

And lastly, what about an option to autodelete from the server when everyone leaves?

Lots of fun. No proof of identity of course anyone can be anyone. But absolutely shows a KISS idea.

At the moment we don't make any money with it.

But in future: we don't know jet ;D (but definitely no ads or spam)

You don't need to trust me -- just use Tor and strong key for message encryption ;)

Wait wait, I don't like the delete after 15 seconds as much as I like delete messages previous to x minutes.

We try to make it as "most secure online chat ever made (https://chatver.com)" (little link for seo :))

Everything ok with this service?  I seem to be having some issues with using it suddenly.  I cannot post messages.

Thank for notifying, now everything is working again.
There is some rear problem with node in the server where we host the site.
We're thinking about possible solutions.

But it's nice to see, that someone is actively using the service, cool! :)

I do use it for my monthly live chats.  Great service.  I wish it was open source so I could host it myself.  :)

What's wrong with crypto.cat?

By the way there is a newer version of the site at

https://chatlink.com

There it's possible to
  • save URL-s in a list encrypted with account password
  • contact someone by an URL very securely, so that the key exchange is done using public and private keys
  • add multiple apps (like a chat and a list for example) in one URL
  • etc...
