I tried this method.

When I clicked to take picture the apps auto closed.

Maybe they need to fix this bug.

Yea its been reported, exactly the same.

Just realised you can create a user from an electrum(or other) privkey too ...

Just goto "import your backup sigIn/Up local account" > Scan backup > Scan PrivKey QR from your desired wallet .. sooo many possibilities would love it to hit github!

There is the possibility of doing the opposite and exporting its private key to another wallet (exemple : electrum,...).

Get your game girl

Feature Request : [If isn't part of the current development plan]
Arching the messages : Almost all chat networks do that but if you can provide a way to make them more secure,like storing the archived message over a network where only two way encryption is achieved like between the person who wishes to read the archived message and the server.I mean if I wish to give access to a third party to my archived messages,there has to be a secure way out!

hello

I sent you a pm

Kindly check.

Edit :

I've downloaded the app from google play store but i am unable to verify my number.I put the phone number with country code but the verify button still dead. any solution?

There have been lots of reports of android not working at that exact point ... try this (might differ I did it from the iOS APP)

Quote

On the first page you will be asked for a phone number, if you don't want to right down the bottom click "import your backup sigIn/Up local account"

Click Sign In/Up Local account

Take a picture of something random, this will be your Avatar in Connect.IM

Enter your username and password and click Completed

Click "Backup encrypted private key" - Save to photos or email it

Click Start encrypted chat

You've Signed Up!

Now scan a QR to join a group/claim lucky packet etc (goto Contacts > + at top)

To collect LuckyPackets you have to verify a phone number - can be done in Settings

I just saw the advertisement about this project on this forum and impressed with the design. Integrating bitcoin wallet in this messenger is a good move. I will surely give it a try. I am expecting a good user experience from the design, let's see.

Clicked the ad too when it said, big brother is watching over Grin

Can any of you share the groups you created and lets see where we can join, they offer 1-2 BTC for a busy group. I don't know whether they'd give that 1-2 btc to the members but just wanted to check how this app works. Its a pretty cool idea. I remember there was an ICO about messenger too, I don't know if this is it. But this app is a killer. Could be a good marketplace for shady individuals.

Seems interesting. I haven't downloaded the app yet (thanks to my low internal memory device), but soon I am going to try this messenger. I never heard of that 1-2 btc reward but it doesn't matter because I am expecting ultimate user experience from the screenshots. It would be great if we have any bitcointalk mates group on this app.

Here's a bug for you Connect.im ....

Type one word with a question mark, the iOS APP will force close examples "Why?" "?" "How?" .... doesnt force close if its two or more words "Why ?" "?" "?"

Well I'm the one known as T22 23 24 25, waiting for the next round to claim it all again Cheesy

Thanks for the mentions Wink

CONNECT looks like it is a product of BITMAIN (BITMAIN_Rob - Product Manager of Hashnest), so I guess its reputable - They forced the Hashnest Trollbox to use it a couple of days ago.

The idea looks good at first but it seems flawed... "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU", and CONNECT app doesn't watch us right - do they track us though?

So I verify my phone number - it's hashed before it reaches CONNECT servers (probably not cos how do they send SMS's to hashed numbers) - They now have our phone number, linked to a bitcoin address.

You then go into the APP, goto contacts and you allow it access to your contacts (it does ask!)

According to CONNECT website:

Quote

Contact list: No contact lists are stored when synchronizing contacts. The phone numbers from your address book get anonymized (hashed) before they reach the server. Once the comparison is finished, they are immediately deleted from the server.

What Comparison? - Checking to see if any of the hashed phone numbers match other CONNECT users?

Sounds like Big Brother - Doesn't have to be government, Business love tracking data - especially tracking data related to digital currencies

I know you don't have to verify/bind a phone number but from what I understand, you can't claim luckypackets without it.

If you manage to get CONNECT working feel free to come join my Trollbox

yes, we will add a strategy.

This will be hard, almost impossible, but I will also try to think at something!

Anyway good luck with this! I like it and this will be the app I will use! I'm so happy I clicked the forum ad! Cheesy

P.S. F*ck you user T !!!

P.P.S. A desktop app? thanks

does it alert me when i get a new message or is it like the sucking wickr ?

do you know if the phone number is visible? if not, i can send you a message. then we will know. dev is not really present here. and i still doubt if this is really legit. i hope it is because they are in the App Store.

although i did not get an answer concerning my GitHub question.

Just looking at your avatar there,
I see why there is alot of interest in this app with all the other ones people have relied on for this very service in whatsapp and telegram but knowing they are unsecure now they probably won't want to use them anymore. Undecided

But my real question for this app in messaging is:
Wouldn't this be considered TOR of the IM world?

On Android 4.4.2 it will not let the user take a photo, or supply one from gallery, for the seed. It just force closes.

Totally useless.

Well done for beta testing it first Grin
