the final XChat needs some sort of notification (maybe color change or small icon) when a message is received/read.
It definitely will have notifications. That is great, but have another request/question for the XChat, do we really need the address and the public key as destination? After all, its not called a public key for nothing I've wondered about this myself. The address is just a hash of the public key after all. I'll get back to you on that one... no doubt there's a good reason for it. |

If a user is unable to fit their Xchat info into their sig space for member rank reasons, would this prevent eligibility for the tor stick contest?
No. But that would be surprising. Surprise! I can't fit it in my sig space :/. But thanks for the reply  |

***Win an XC TOR Stick signed by Dan Metcalf!***
Here's your chance to win the industry-leading privacy tool signed by its incredible developer! 
How to win:When the XC Bitcointalk thread reaches page 1000, do the following: 1) Use XChat to send a message to: Address: XDzTA6xMsx1FJkitgKaj3S9mMvPQEzN4w9 Public key: eRyb6fBBZxfkVp1kLcgc81WQuZw8pgpPwkVfKNhJBHBC (If you don't have XChat yet, download it here.) 2) Post the address you sent the message from onto the Official XC Forum here. 3) Put your XChat address and public key into your Bitcointalk signature.
Since XChat is not yet released for Mac and Linux, users can alternatively send a micropayment to the address above, and then post their sending address on the Official XC Forum as described.
The competition will run for 24 hours from the time of the first post on page 1000.
The winner will be decided upon by a suitably random method. If needs be, a video or other means of proof will be posted to establish the randomness of the selection.
The signed TOR Stick will be shipped to the winner at the earliest possible date. This may be in advance of TOR Sticks being shipped to the general public.
Entered! - edit: Dangit! (not page 1000). |

No. But that would be surprising. Surprise! I can't fit it in my sig space :/. But thanks for the reply Ha ha. Perhaps just write "XChat: [address] PM for pubkey" then. |

If it's that simple am sure the new interface will do it automagically |

["No," RW-Stott might reply, "the undisclosed Rev 2 privacy feature is exciting."] ;-)  it could also be some real world adoption type news. What ever happened to our two guys from the XC foundation? What are they doing? We haven't heard from them since that one day they were introduced... |

It definitely will have notifications. That is great, but have another request/question for the XChat, do we really need the address and the public key as destination? After all, its not called a public key for nothing I have some clarification on this: The public key is used to encrypt messages sent to a given address. So you need it if you want the message to be private. Here's a summary of the mechanism: - User A wants to send a message to user B - User A gets public key of user B - User A encrypts a packet which has his own public key and sends to user B - Only user B can decrypt, since the private key of user B is required to decode a message encrypted with user B's public key - Now user B has user A's public key, and can encrypt and send back a message. So addresses are analogous to phone numbers, and in order to secure the communication, a public key is needed. |
