[ANN]CONNECT-An open source P2P encrypted messaging & onchain bitcoin wallet APP

[Connect.im]

Cool app guys. Just tried to send some BTC to a friend who also has the app installed and it worked great.
Are there any plans to make a macOS desktop client that can be synced with the mobile app?

Thank you

Yes, we plan to make MacOS and Windows client.

I'm on iOS.

I try to send lucky packed. I only have the possibility to send by link (While I have several contacts in my address book).

I copy and pasted the link into the chat.

I click on lucky packet before my contact and I got my own lucky packet !?!

Now i can see me (like another contact) on chats with mention "Stranger" !?!

could it be possible that they just want to collect phone numbers. that they want to try to break 2fa? a lot of people receive messages on their mobile phone with 2fa codes. and if you can take over a phone number you will have access to the 2fa code.

2fa? I didn't notice any 2fa on CONNECT application.

seems great! Keep oN! 

But why it must be a wallet as well, instead of just a secure messaging app?

Just installed the app.Well developed.A few questions

1.Where is an option to start a group on the app ?
2.Who controls the private keys for the address on my connect wallet ?
3.I signed up through my phone number,would my added friends or group can see my phone number ?

1 Select one more friends on a chat box.

2 Private is control fully by user.

3 All phone number  hashed, no one can see it.

That sounds great! I'm trying to get my developer friends group off telegram and promote other local groups to start using connect.If I read the first post correctly,you sponsor 1-2 bitcoins for group chats right ? I'm looking forward to it.

i ask about the missing GitHub link a few days ago. and i did not get an answer. and now you write that you will wait for 1-3 month. because of code review. if you show the code to all now than the review can start.

this all sounds fishy. how should i trust you?

It is project ran by Bitmain, well Bitmain_Rob is who announced it - he was the creator of snowball.io, now Hashnest. (Bitmain respond to their official Connect ANN on their own forum - https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/4027)

I would actually like to use the APP to replace a slack channel but it would need to be opensourced before I even consider that, guess we're just their beta testers - atleast I got paid with luckypackets, where's the next bunch for me to claim

Hmm...I would love to use this..

But without the source, I'm skeptical..

hmmm ...

if the title itself - '[ANN]CONNECT-An open source P2P encrypted messaging & onchain bitcoin wallet APP' - specifies opensource ... then it should have the code - and subsequently the changes that are mentioned above - all in the git ...

there is no git - no open source product - no indication of whether it will be ...

looks like a great product - but EVERYONE needs to be wary of ANYONE that claims they are providing a great product ( especially where btc / money is concerned ) in an opensourced environment - when the source is no where to be found ...

a claim that it will be available in 1-3months is a farce in itself ...

just be careful guys and gals ...

had they stated its a CLOSED source product - and developed by a REPUTABLE company ... then ok ... but everyone STILL needs to be wary and have their eyes open ... especially from a new account - with a new 'company' - and a new product - with no source after stating there is sourcecode ...

not good connect.im ... not good at all ...

i still think that apple checks the apps. so it won't be that bad. but sure apple can't find everything.

and i installed osx and android wallet and nothing bad happened. what does not mean that the wallet is save.
