1. On the "Receive Coins" tab, create a new address and label it "Chat" or something.
2. Copy your address and paste it into the "from" field on the "Messages" tab (use the "paste" icon to the right of the field).
3. Copy someone's address and paste it into the "to" field (use the icon again).
4. Copy someone's public key and paste it into the "key" field.
5. Write a message.
P.S. Fully unlock your app before doing all this.
ok, i've totally been resisting technology for MANY moons but with the hope of a TOR stick signed by Dan i find myself up for the headache ...i did #1, don't see a messages tab, under "receive coins" i hit "sign message" tab but don't see "from", "to", and "key" fields ...sorry, plz advise.
You need to be on the latest test wallet that actually has a messages tab at the top.
I just downloaded the setup.exe which has chat included in it, if thats any help.
so website, downloads, and the just download setup.exe
if you wanna test the chat, send me a message on the address I posted a few posts ago
You should also put it in your sig too. Help spread the words! and... it's needed to have a chance to win the Tor stick.
Will do.
Did you get my reply?
Yup, can't wait for the notifications to be added in. Then the chatting will just be like Skype, but private.
Right click on your chat address and click "copy public key" then past it wherever )in your sig along with your chat address. make sure your chat address isn't the one with coins in it.
Sorry, went down the shop. Yes, received & replied.
