Goals

• Refactor groups to have sub rooms
• Reintroduce notification digests for smaller groups
• Deprecate newsfeed posts to a sub topic (for legacy support)
• Understand relationship between groups, gatherings, conversations and messenger
• Refactor messenger to use own tables and support groups
• New encryption algorithm (Libsodium?)
• MindsID Asymmetric keys

Mark's Notes

Shared keys per conversations

The facilitate group chats and to avoid message duplication, we should have keypairs per conversation that can be unlocked by all parties involved.

Messenger Schema

Table name
messenger_list	(user_guid	conversation_uuid)	pub_key
	bigint	uuid	text
messenger_conversation	(conversation_uuid)	shared_key	last_message_timestamp
	uuid	text	timestamp
messenger_members	(conversation_uuid	user_guid)	muted
	uuid	bigint	bool
messenger_messages	(conversation_uuid	message_uuid)	user_guid	body
	uuid	uuid	bigint	text

Limitation of Messenger

• Max number of messages capped at 200 for performance

Asymmetric MindsID Keys

Asymmetric MindsID keys consist of a private key and a public key which contain keys needed to operate the Minds network. These keys are designed to be decentralized and operate across network. The fingerprint of these keys can also be stored on the blockchain.

The keys can also be used to control ETH based DiD profiles as they contain ETH keypairs.

Private Key (unencoded)

{
  "schema": "v0.0.1",
  "eth_priv": "0x0101030409697790dkdkw9192pdkoisehfoiw4hty039urho239y5029o4ehrtowei48y5y34out975",
  "messenger_priv": "----",
  "password_hash": "--- BCRYPT ---"
}

Public Key (unencoded)

{
  "schema": "v0.0.1",
  "eth_pub": "0x981903...",
  "messenger_pub": "----"
}

I just want to make sure this path allows us to get off zulip. That's the key as soon as is humanely possible
