Hello! I have been on steemit for about two months and two things that are absolutely crucial for steemit to develop further for me are:
Private messaging - this needs to be built right here on the platform to be used when needed - just like on FB. Only messaging itself does not work these days - people need video calling, they want to interact in a more human way. And again, needs to be available right here to be used, not on a different platform. I also do not think that 7 day storing is any good. How many times do we need to go back and check old messages? From time to time we do since some messages might containt information that we have to go back to.
Availability to buy steem right on the plaftform using Credit Card. While some people might by crypto friendly able to buy steem at exchanges, majority is not. And the growing number of new users will not be crypto friendly and will not go through the hassle of buying steem at exchanges. If we want the price of steem to go up, we need to make it available to people. Right now it is not available which is a problem. Oh well, just some of my thoughts. Have a great night everyone. Tomas.
I think that @good-karma is a dev for esteem (the app) which uses the steem blockchain, but not of steemit.com ( the website) which uses the same said blockchain. Messages posted with one will show up in the other. There are many that use the steem blockchain. See steemtools.com. The question is, how much volume can I expect if I setup credit card buys for steem on my site steemfiles.com? Accepting credit cards can be costly.
The 2nd one I want as well. It will have one more advantage, and that would be the stability. Yes, as we have seen in the past that Poloniex had stopped the transactions of Steem, and other issues with the exchanges, people get frustrated with all this. Also exchanges can manipulate the Steem price by offering at different prices or stopping the transaction at the crucial times. This gives them power.
On the other hand if Steemit provides the service for buying Steem directly using debit or credit card, that would be awesome for everyone.
yes i tried to create a service to let people buy steem directly from me with cash but i dont have the resources to do it, i had to turn down a guy who asked me to let him bank transfer or deposit to my a bank account (which i dont have) and send him steem, i just walked him through how to huy some bitcoin tho instead locally, people need to learn to buy bitcoin locally and credit card would require processing, weneed a simple blocktrades feature or some third party steem with credit card thing ALSO charge back fraud u cant sell crypto for credit card because people use fake credit card IDs and identoty theft and u are forced to give back the money but people get tp keep the crypto! so u cant use credit cards without big infrastructure to deal with potential fraud, uits why crypto is superior, but maybe a local thing where u can put money on a special card at 7/11 like u buy an amazon gift card or prepaid visa card at a loical store and buy the steem with that!
I have a question. Now our team in Ukraine has created a website http://www.steemit.in.ua/ for support, to help Ukrainians and not only to popularize Steemit in Ukraine. The site is still young, we are working and preparing useful content for the site. I want to put a link on the site on your profile and tell you about your application. You do not mind?
How does this integrate with Steem's accounts and how do you foresee other steem app inter-operating with this?
I already have about 10 private messaging app and the biggest problem with them is segmentation, I like Signal Messenger because it's easy to set anyone up (no login:password to remember) and it also integrate as my SMS app.
Encryption and decryption of the messages are done with Steem account (memo key) and messages are stored off-chain on eSteem backend for the reason I have briefly talked in post. Since all messages are encrypted (nobody knows content of the message) we can provide API and sample scripts for any other apps to use if they choose to integrate it. Unfortunately, it is not replacement to any other messaging apps that has their own users(base). But for now why postpone feature if we can implement it with what we have/can. Later if we will have pruning functionality, storing messages on Steem blockchain would make more sense and can easily be adopted by eSteem and other apps.
Are you going to encrypt the fact of sending a message? In other words, if Alice sends a message to Bob a third-party will not be able to decrypt the content of the message, but the fact that Alice is writing something to Bob will be publicly available to everyone, is that correct?
If we make API public yes, otherwise it stays on eSteem servers for 7 days before erased. Note that it is off-chain and if it was on-chain that would be traceable unless we have stealth transactions.
Nice post @good-karma, Steemit is getting better and better. More and more features are being added. New feature stickers I think are quite helpful expression of the stemians, especially for chating and messaging. A good breakthrough. Hopefully steemit to be the best future.
I think that's good and more interesting. @ Good-karma.
When the message has reached a period of 7 days, then automatically the message will be deleted by itself.
Nothing better than #steemit and #esteem to date.
We for example facebook, messages that years lived there and if we delete it then the recipient still retains the message.
So it was fabulous and very professional.
Thank you sir.
Nice.

Not at all ;)
Thank you😉
apologize first. I am just a layman. . I do not know this good-karma who in this steem.imimakasi. Sorry if the question is a bit stupid.
good job
I don't see it.

Why you upvoted your own comment?
You want to negative vote others and doing self voting your own contents.
Double standards

cool
This is wonderful news because not everyone likes the messages in the open. Privacy is very important for most people.
I love stickers, specially gifs on private messages lol
Happy steeming fellas!
agreed
Are scaling solutions like that been worked on for steem? Or with Dan gone is the back end of steem considered done?
Just downloaded esteem the other day, like it so far, will give more feedback when I've used it for longer
