- where is my (linux) userstuff? I'd expect something like ~/.bitmessage, but can't find anything. The program folder is 6mb, which can't contain the "blockchain".
It's in ~/.config, where it's
supposed to be.
- I believe it would help adoption *a lot* to have plugins for the common chatclients. Like kopete, for example. No matter if it's the whole bitmessage implementation, with huge size, as long as it visually fully integrates into the common clients. What do you people think?
Bitmessage provides a daemon mode, so it would just take someone with the time and motivation to write the plugins. Bitmessage isn't exactly instant though, I'm not sure how well it would work with clients focused around a primarily XMPP based ecosystem.
Whoops, thank you for pointing out.
No idea how I could miss this. Most programs have their config in ~/.program, was my impression.. It doesn't help that bitcoin-core now has a config in ~/.bitcoin and ~/.config/Bitcoin. At least doesn't help my overview! :-)
Daemon mode sounds good!
Sure, it wouldn't be exactly the way we are used to from instant messengers. But it would make it so much more convenient for BitMessage users, and it would make it less of a hassle for new users to start with BitMessage too.
I want to start a bounty: "Program a Kopete plugin which integrates BitMessage into its GUI".Where should I do this, for maximum exposure?
Any other messengers with high user counts and easy plugin-usability?
Is there any other encrypted p2p messenger, fully anonymous (without knowing which IP sent a message)?
