Light Wallet with a Chat-Interface for the Steem Blockchain

Steem Chat-Wallet (Beta)

Disclaimer: Steem Chat-Wallet is currently in Beta. While careful development and testing have been done - bugs should be expected. @therealwolf on Steem with funding from smartsteem.com cannot be held liable for unknown issues, loss of funds (SBD & STEEM) or mistakes made by the user.

Steem Chat-Wallet is the easiest way to communicate with other Steem Users through the blockchain (on-chain) via transfers.

These messages (transfers) can be sent in plain text or in encrypted format via memo-keys.

The project is currently in Beta Status and available for Windows, Mac & Linux.

Features

• Customized chat design - based on the look and feel of Discord.

• Messages (transfers) can be sent in plain text and encrypted format.

• The needed keys (active & memo) can be imported directly into the messenger or derived from the password, which are then saved in an encrypted format (with an encryption password) locally on the computer.

• Incoming Messages are automatically fetched every x minutes (default: 10 minutes - can be customized) and also decrypted (if messenger is unlocked - more about that below)

• The Messenger has to be unlocked in order to send any messages / decrypt new messages and will automatically lock itself after a period. (default 60 minutes - can be customized)

• Notifications for new messages (currently not working on Linux)

• Multiple accounts supported

• Steem users can be blacklisted to block transfer spammers - additionally, Smartsteem.com is providing a global-blacklist consisting of known spammers & scammers.

• Settings can be configured dynamically

Preview: Sending Messages

As seen in the gif above - messaging is only possible when the wallet is unlocked and an active key imported. Encryption is only possible when the account's memo key has been imported as well.
