mailchuck / pybitmessage Goto Github PK

It needs to be investigated when exactly it is broken, because in general it seems ok. Maybe the error was caused by something that I already fixed.

with the current fork version, replying to decentralized lists (subscriptions) is broken.
"It just does not work" is no good feedback as it lacks the specific "what", but I can't spot the error in the verbose fast scrolling output.

• there should be an way to search more than just one account at a time

• register and unregister now available
• request new address if registration denied
• settings
• status
• shorter TTL when sending these messages

Now it mostly is, but not always.

• gateway invoices maybe could be paid through google play / apple store
• this may leak privacy, so needs to be investigated

• only decrypt part of message to find out if it's for me
• maybe only download part of message too
• may leak privacy

• It could go to my help address or later, once there are reverse users on the gateway, to the ticketing system through this.
• Can be triggered in a new menu item under help.
• It should create a new identity if there are no identities
• It should add the help addressbook entry if not present
• Once both conditions are true (at least one identity and an addressbook entry for help exist):
• It should prepopulate the "send message" tab with a meaningful subject
• make sure that the "from" is not a chan/mailing list
• and put some meaningful info into the message body (the user can delete to increase their anonymity anyway)

• I'm not sure this is necessary, the gateway interaction is now hidden, perhaps it's better this way

• user should be able to backup their keys from the UI
• perhaps also messages

• show button for rerendering, like roundcube does
• automatic for gateways? Potential security issues.

• pyqtdeploy may allow it, but probably requires a lot of work
• perhaps a simple interface first, like bitseal (no chans/subscriptions)

• users should be able to restore addresses from backups
• not only for deterministic but for other addresses too

this may actually work already, needs to be tested

• I now have a Mac Mini 2009 (early) with El Capitan
• kgo may help if it's not too much work

• ui is mostly done, but disabled, because it does not actually do anything yet
• maybe make it configurable whether to use wizard or the old dialog box
• maybe 3points: email+bm, bmonly, deterministic (advanced)

• currently they are treated like normal messages and it's up to user to figure out what's happening
• registration (set label)
• status (expiration, settings)

• folder that shows everything instead of a particular account

• there may be performance issues with many messages. It already shows sometimes, it can take some time to load a message list. I did some simple tests and they indicate it's not a UI issue, so probably a DB
• sqlite supports indexes, this may help
• but it needs to be investigated in more depth first

• or fix trash by union select inbox/sent
• since sent has messages which may still be processing (PoW, watching for ack), it may break stuff if they are deleted
• maybe they also need to be removed from queues when being trashed

• in order not to confuse users, in particular Mailchuck users, rebrand
• suggested new name "MailChuckApp"

• it now expects to choose device on commandline
• it appears broken on AMD

• configurable as potential privacy leak
• should be able to query github directly
• or dynamically from version numbers of connected nodes. shared.softwareversion contains the local one, the version of remote is in class_receiveDataThread.recversion

• subscribed channels should show up in addressbook, perhaps behind normal addresses
• also addressbook should be sorted in general, currently it isn't

• building binaries for all platforms
• may allow building for mobile phones too

now it replies to channel

• creating / updating keys
• downloading keys
• uploading keys
• instruct people how to install gpg

• since 32cda02 "Messages" tab is resizable. This works by changing QLayout into QSplitter. Some properties are not available in the latter though
• Needs to be done on Subscriptions
• Needs to be done on Chans
• Needs to be done in Send
• needs to be saved

• Bitmessage#810 has a pull request, but it's not configurable. Make it configurable.
• it was pointed out to me that the pull request is not a complete upnp integration. I was wondering why it does not exchange IP/port information with the network code, this now explains it, it looks like it only negotiates portforwarding

• see https://bitmessage.org/forum/index.php/topic,4811.0.html
• maybe even filtering language

• since 17913cc
• since 8b527f8 unread count works
• trash works too

• or just integrate help in UI to auto-submit to mantis

identity aware ( and optional: recipent aware ) signatures which can be set in textfile config and/or GUI:

for example:
BM-long1 can include "signature 1", as I know this is the one I message people with I know,
BM-long2 shouldn't do this as it is a channel,
BM-long3 shouldn't do this as well because I message to channels/lists with this,
BM-long4 should include "signature 2" because for whatever reason,
etc.

• relay is now per account
• collapsedtree I'm not sure, as that's a UI issue, but if I put it with UI config, it may leak private data

• allow other folders
• not compatible with old pybitmessage UI, but shouldn't break it either
• maybe also subfolders (separated by . or / like imap)

• QTextEdit into QWebView
• allow external links needs to be enabled separately, setOpenExternalLinks

It works ok if the recipient is not in addressbook, or if replying to email on gateway accounts.

• gateway should allow to upload/download keys from keyserver, to improve privacy (otherwise, the end-user needs to interact with keyservers directly and this may leak info)

You can delete trash manually from the menu, so this is not urgent.

• detect which client the user is using
• privacy and compatibility issues

• it should auto-create an address a give the user an option to register it for email
• it should explain to them what channels/subscriptions are
• it should point them to a list of channels/subscriptions
• it should explain how to get help

• tree form perhaps not as that may be a privacy leak. QT has a config interface that abstracts from OS (e.g. on Windows it puts stuff into registry), QSettings
• Layout and state of main window are stored since 7a0e648
• Works on Windows and OSX
• it does not work on on Ubuntu (sync necessary for some reason)
• change "Mailchuck Ltd" to "Bitmessage"
• messages tab
• messages list (like the width of "Date")
• subscription tab
• subscription messages list
• chan tab
• chan messages list
• sort order (it actually does not keep it anyway even if you switch between folders)
• which was the last active tab
• blacklist column width
• saving bound to edit instead of quit?
