A blockchain-based chat app.
This is a fully peer-to-peer, decentralized chat app that uses blockchain.
Dependencies:
- Python 3
- Flask
- Requests
How to run:
python3 guinode.py
To-Do:
- Clean up debug messages
- Make multiple chatroom support
- Improve the POW implementation (GPU mining, multithreaded CPU mining, etc)
- Make UI look cleaner
- Improve the peering mechanism - nodes should auto-peer with nodes that peer with them
- Add encryption support to password-protect chatrooms
- Develop addon API for custom plugins (e.g., cryptocurrency)
Wont-Fix:
- Doesn't work with NAT - each node must be directly accessible from all others. Try using
tincmeshing vpn if this is a problem.
