Announcing : Hive.pm : Private Messaging on HIVE! Sneak peek!
Hello people of HIVE,
D.Buzz has been busy working hard and, we are so close to rolling out a new Private Messaging service built on HIVE.
This will be a native system, meaning that it takes advantage of systems are in place on HIVE without having to change the underlying code, and it will be made open for public use.
How it works.
Simply, each message makes use of the memo tag in a transaction to another user.
Each message does have a cost of 0.001 Hive, however ideally you'll get that back when the person sends a message back to you. Also, you are welcome to send a larger amount you wish to catch someone's attention, or send someone rewards. Please note that we are not in charge of that 0.001 Hive cost, it is just the lowest amount that you could send on HIVE.
What is nice about using the memo tag is that you can encrypt all of your messages! This adds an extra level of safety and security to your account.
Lastly, Hive.PM is currently in Alpha state. There may be a few bugs here and there, the functionality and items such as the layout may change as we progress forward based on community feedback.
While we finish up a few more things please enjoy this sneak peek video!
Expect the release of the public testing version ... soon!
Over and out.

This is great and i can't wait
Looks great! As you noted, this functionality has always been there, but making a slick user friendly interface makes all the difference. If you don’t have it already in the alpha, I’d love to see a toggle to decrypt all when you’re browsing a conversation thread so you don’t have to click each one as your looking through a history!
Very good idea and excellent work
That's great! I'm waiting! 👏 😎 💪
Digging the concept for sure.
Amazing work and keep it up 👍🏼 @dbuzz
interesting idea for encrypted messaging
Looks to be the start of something requested and needed on Hive, being able to have PM will enable chats to happen more streamlined.
Request a possible sign up using the HiveSigner as well would be helpful, well done @dbuzz look forward to seeing in action soon.

This has been attempted before(https://github.com/therealwolf42/steem-chat-wallet) and I don't see it succeeding long term just because of the time delays. I'm not trying to wait 3 seconds(at a minimum, longer when witnesses miss blocks) to see messages. If I'm chatting with someone, I want instant responses.
will it be possible to immediately connect GINA & DINO and migrate from discord?
Do you have any plans to create it as a widget-like thing possible to install it within other frontends? Either like that or with cooperation with other actors letting them add the code to their products? I can see it really functional then. We need to have interoperability like this!
Interesting. I think this is a must have in social platforms like Hive.

This seems like an interesting idea to increase the level of socialization on the platform! Looking forward to it

Very nice functionality. I think this will make it easier to communicate using encrypted messages.
I see the difference between this and Peakd's chat feature is that the conversation is saved on the block chain. Is there any other noticeable differences between the two?

This is yet another proof @dbuzz is one of the greatest things to happen to HIVE.
Clicking decrypt every time sounds a little anticlimactic for instant messaging, doesn't it?
Nice work peeps! It's great to see Hive expanding like this.
