I'm suggesting this after doing something pretty stupid. I used the space where it is possible to put the YIM address to put a Bitcoin address. Unfortunately, there were two missing characters because there is a limit in that space, and I did not realize it.

But it is a fact that most use those spaces to put various information. Telegram addresses, discord addresses, and important information or warnings. In addition to addresses of different coins as ETH. No one uses the programs being shown there.

So my proposal is very simple. Put a free box space where you could put whatever information you thought necessary. Limiting the number of characters according to your ranking.

I'll use the darkstar_ profile as an example. I hope he does not mind. But as you can see, he uses the part intended for Skype to put important information and uses "other contact info" to enter the address of telegram.


My proposal would be to allow users to organize this section in the way they believe to be more informative. The other sections of the profile would continue in the same way.

I've seen similar suggestions in past already. You're right that you barely can find people who use these services. Some of these services doesn't even works anymore because it was discontinued. But I think that no changes will be made until new forum software will be released.

It's already three years in a making. I don't think it will be implemented soon. Anyway, the benefits of new forum software is just for newbies or casual visitors.

I’ve long thought there should be a spot for PGP fingerprint.

What similar things do people use now?

Those fields are actually built a bit deeply into SMF for some reason, so it's not completely trivial to change, but it can be done. Low on my to-do list, though, as hugeblack mentioned.


PGP fingerprints are SHA-1, which is insecure. The OpenPGP standard really needs a complete new revision...

A lighting network invoice for tipping would be great 

The point is that what they use today may change in 6 months. Most people use Telegram, discord, Twitter for issues related to crypto.

But I think it would be more interesting to leave an open box. Where we could organize the contacts in the way that was most interesting. Allowing to put the address of Bitcoin and other coins.

They expire after two days though don't they? Or are you hoping of an autogen of some sorts.


Can't you access other people's number from telegram? I thought you could (since it's required).

No. You can´t know the phone number from a user on telegram. You could search for him using only their nick.
