https://github.com/bitcoinplusorg/xbcwalletsource/releasesSecure Message InterfaceBitcoinPlus has secure messaging built directly into the client, that utilises the Peer-to-Peer messaging layer to send and receive messages across the network. Messages are sent across the network encrypted with the addresses used in the conversation so that only the sender and recipient can unencrypt and read that message. This feature has only been accessible in the BitcoinPlus version 2.7 in graphical user interface via the debug console which facilitates command line usage of BitcoinPlus, this has not been user friendly.
BitcoinPlus 2.8.0 introduces a user interface for secure messaging which adds some features not available via the command line, like setting aliases for contacts and removing contacts to hide future messages from them. The messaging interface is designed to work like modern instant messaging software and should be familiar to most users. Here we provide usage instructions for the new secure messaging graphical user interface.
The messaging interface is accessed in 2.8.0 by selecting Message from the top row of tab in the BitcoinPlus desktop client.
