Messaging (Daemon / Core)

Even as a team member on Particl, it is hard to grasp the amount of work and dedication the development team takes when creating a truly private marketplace until you see a task like our End-to-End Encrypted (E2EE) Messaging.

Our Lead Core Developer, Tecnovert (TV), has been tackling this task which is one of our longest in the creation of our Private Market MVP. Scheduled on our dynamic calendar as a stand-alone item and lasting 12 weeks by itself (research, coding, testing), the focus here is on Paid Messages and Listing Fees.

If you’ve been following the project at all you’ll recognize Tecnovert by his stellar work in bringing Confidential Transactions (CT) and Ring Signature Confidential Transactions (RingCT) to Particl Core. He also has kept our protocol up-to-date with Bitcoin Core development and the latest security updates in Bitcoin 0.15.0.1, making Particl one of the first projects on the lastest codebase.

Task Notes

RingCT Transaction → OP_RETURN msg <hash>

Hash of messages stored in OP_RETURN with no value outputs (TX FEE only), and change

Change goes to self, fee goes to network

Bigger Payment = Longer Duration

Formula

payment / size = days
