Feature request.

Please add Riot chat into the vTorrent road map.

As a pop out module, like BitTorrent and Trading tabs.

Riot is intended to run on decentralised networks and it is open source. Matrix is the OS and Riot is an app that sits on Matrix.

https://matrix.org/docs/spec/

With Riot enabled, vTorrent will have its own BitTorrent forum, built in. You can then have channels on discussions to do with anything, but most importantly it can be the home of all private trackers.


Dear all,

Thanks to coins101 and community for support and suggestions.

Riot chat will be implement natively to vTorrent soon, please PM me if anyone wants to help out testing the Riot chat and I will send out beta wallet with Riot enabled as soon as it is ready.

Regards,
vTorrent

Cool feature to add, it would be very handy for building up the community.  Cool

I wasn't expecting it to be added immediately, but wow  Cool

It's not going to be useful just for the vTorrent community, but the whole of BitTorrent.

Riot is a stripped down version of Slack.

You could have hundreds of different Riot channels - basically little communities - all running off the vTorrent client.

If it's legal to run r/DarkNetMarkets, then there is no reason why they can't also use vTorrent Riot chat.

This is a first mover opportunity, as once you're established as the place where the conversation happens it's hard to replicate. Sure the technology can be replicated, but not the social network aspect.

All without having to worry about sites storing your IP details.

The really nice side benefit is that to use Riot and keep up with conversations, you'll find most people will basically need to keep their wallet on all the time - which supports the security and speed of the network.

Might need to consider allocating a larger default space allowance on the local hard drives - or give people the option to allocate 20GB without Riot, or 200GB with?  

The Riot chat channels would be separate from the blockchain, so no need to worry about bloat on that.
