ADAMANT — the most secure and anonymous messenger
ADAMANT’s MainNet has been updated to v.0.2.0 — KVS support included
Earlier we told that we are working on new mechanism for storing contact data (KVS) in blockchain and on the new transaction type, and had already implemented these innovations in test network. Now the development team has updated the MainNet of ADAMANT up to 0.2.0 with these changes: https://github.com/Adamant-im/adamant/releases/tag/v0.2.0.
KVS (key-value store) is a way to store information. For each key (for example, the contact name U324242353425354) a certain value can be stored ("John", for example). KVS is planned to be used to store the address book, user settings and anti-spam, but the real scope of application is bigger. Thus, we have built this mechanism for the future uses.
KVS transactions are stored in the blockchain along with transactions of other types and are only available to their owners since transaction's content is encrypted with a private key. ADAMANT provides incremental data storage so the client application only transmits the address book changes, not the entire address book. This is very important for blockchain data storage.
Next we’ll update messenger applications, so you’ll be able to use new functionality.

That comparison against other product shows huge potential for this messaging platform if the promised tech is delivered in presented way. This the industry which still have huge space of growth for every project which ensures real privacy and security of data. It looks interesting but need to read it well.  Grin

Do you want to learn about Future of Messaging more?
Guys from Tokenhunters https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3c-dWIeVzJrFwpEOxr5PAA made a video interview with ADAMANT Messenger Team in Berlin. The developers answered questions about how blockchain messenger works, shared their opinion on Telegram ban, and told what to do if Internet will be blocked. Now the video is processing, and soon you’ll be able to see interview on English, German and Russian languages. Thanks to Sasha Zilber for the event in Germany.

TL;DR.
You say you store messages on the blockchain. Yeah, DPoS, improved speed compared to PoW, but: have you ever considered the amounts of data the full nodes will have to store if your messenger will become popular? Wouldn't it lead to centralization, because only a small amount of nodes will be able to process large amounts of data?

upd:
Ok, I've looked through the WP.

I think that the assumption of 300 bytes per message is not very precise, because you also have to store sender and receiver addresses, the signature, probably some additional metadata.
If sender can read sent messages, they should be encrypted and stored twice (encrypted with receiver's private key and sender's private key).
Transactions of other types will also consume hard disk space.

Telling that your messenger is "secure" and "anonymous" is not very correct too.
1) Assuming that one user has his private key compromised, the stealer gains access to the full message history.
2) As I understand the concept, the fact of conversation between two pseudonymous users can be easily proven. It is possible to build a graph on user's connections.
3) At the moment, browser version of the messenger connects to the public server. The client requests transactions belonging to him with his public key. So at the server (full-node) side it is possible to correlate IP-address with the public key. I'd strongly recommend to use this app only via proxy/tor/vpn.

Thanks for joining our Slack!

I'll post a reply here also.

Hello! Thanks for your deep interest in ADAMANT.


Aleksei Lebedev [7 minutes ago]
Yeah, we store messages in blockchain, as well as other transaction types. But as ADAMANT do not plan to replace Facebook, we'll have limited, but specified users auditory. As all of transactions need few disk space, and disk space is cheap enough, that will be not a problem we think.


Aleksei Lebedev [7 minutes ago]
As I know all the database sized about 200 MB.


Aleksei Lebedev [6 minutes ago]
1) Yes. We plan to have a possiblity for changing keys within chats.


Aleksei Lebedev [4 minutes ago]
2) You are right again. First thing user can understand there is no way to hide if there is no deep IT knowledge. ADAMANT provide anonymous ID, but it still can be revealed. Later we plan to hide chat transactions in blockchain, like Monero does.


Aleksei Lebedev [2 minutes ago]
3) Yes, but later client will be connected to random node. If there will be many nodes, it will be hard to get IP-public key link. And Tor can be used for sure.

> If sender can read sent messages, they should be encrypted and stored twice (encrypted with receiver's private key and sender's private key). — No, we generate common key for both recepient and sender.

Anyway, there is much space to develop. :slightly_smiling_face:

We present the parameters storage in blockchain and the new transaction type!
The technologies used in messengers have been being developed for a long time, and the creation of a similar product is an ordinary thing now. However, when the time comes for a paradigm shift, every small improvement requires research, design, development, testing — this is just about ADAMANT.
We are pleased to announce that the ADAMANT team implemented a mechanism for storing contact data (KVS) in blockchain and the new transaction type.
KVS (key-value store) is a way to store information. For each key (for example, the contact name U324242353425354) a certain value can be stored ("John", for example).
The process of storing contact information in case of common client-server technology is simple and clear. ADAMANT is built on blockchain unlike classic messengers, and each operation requires the generation of a transaction on the client side, the transfer of the signed transaction to a node and the distribution to other nodes with agreement and consensus.
KVS is currently used to store the address book, user settings and anti-spam, but the real scope of application is bigger. Thus, we have built this mechanism for the future uses.
KVS transactions are stored in the blockchain along with transactions of other types and are only available to their owners since transaction's content is encrypted with a private key. ADAMANT provides incremental data storage so the client application only transmits the address book changes, not the entire address book. This is very important for blockchain data storage.
KVS and the new transaction type are now implemented in ADAMANT test network and in the console. As soon as the testing is complete they will be released to the live network within 10 days.
What to expect? Soon you will finally be able to save contact names (the address book) and settings, including anti-spam settings.
