Downloaded it, but have no one to chat with.
I created a room called: hackernews
Its group fingerprint is: BBD398AA E131E1644 6EF77D4E A2CDC074 F497ED37
I'm not sure the group fingerprint is required. I've noticed if you logout and login with the same room name, it generates a different fingerprint.
- Gnewt 13y agoI joined, but the fingerprint is different... :/
- ZoF 13y agoA unique fingerprint is issued to each individual.
- magikarp 13y agoFingerprints are for verifying your own identity in the group chat context. They confirm your own identity to others. It's hard for new users to understand this — the blog post mentions that Cryptocat is trying to make cryptographic authentication less confusing.
- iambot 13y agob here, well worth a look, buddies list seems to be crashy, but very well designed with minimal features. worth checking out.
- justin66 13y agomagikarp, you're hellbanned. Apparently after your last comment about HN censorship, so... a little irony there I guess.
- Torgo 13y agoI went through this while experimenting with cryptocat, it's confusing as hell. the group fingerprint is your fingerprint, in that chatroom, for that session. I peeked at some of the issues on Github and it looks like they're adding challenge-response for OTP verification so you can have a way to prove identity without an active out of band channel.
