This morning, I thought of using public keys as an address - like an email address. What do you guys think?
- jamesdwilson 11y agolike bitmessage?
- jfeser 11y agoThat would make it tricky to change your keys if, for example, your laptop got stolen.
- kobayashi 11y agoDoesn't miniLock do something like that?
- Nutomic 11y agoA public key is pretty long for an address (eg ~500 bytes for RSA-4096). Instead, you can use a hash of the public key for an address. That's what I'm doing for Ensichat [1] [1] https://github.com/Nutomic/ensichat https://github.com/Nutomic/ensichat
