What real value do open, permissionless real-time chatrooms offer? View quoted note →

There are two parties that suffer from spam: the relay and the group members. In Bitchat’s Geohash open and permissionless channels, it is mainly the group members who suffer from spam, since the relay can quickly delete messages and is therefore less affected. In contrast, Keychat’s end-to-end encrypted group chat is closed and permissioned: the group owner can add or remove members, and only group members can read and send messages. As a result, Keychat group members do not suffer from spam. Moreover, because Keychat messages carry an ecash sat stamp, the relay also does not suffer from spam. View quoted note →

Bitchat’s Geohash channels are open, permissionless chatrooms where anyone can participate and send messages. This is similar to how any Bitcoiner can send a Bitcoin transaction. However, open, permissionless systems are especially prone to spam. Because Bitcoin’s block size is limited, transactions must bid for inclusion, and only those that pay sufficient fees are included in blocks, so senders cannot spam. If open, permissionless real-time chatrooms are as indispensable as open, permissionless monetary payment systems, we can expect them to evolve a fee mechanism.

It’s well worth exploring, unlike the advertising or tipping models—it’s a straightforward pay-for-information approach. View quoted note →
