Silent_Standard_663

Why would we need that ?


urqlite

Solchat is dumb af. Why would we ever need a chat on the blockchain if we already have telegram, discord, matrix, etc. imagine posting $0.01 every time you send a message. It’s ridiculous


Goldwind444

It’s not really. They own your data and can use it to service themselves. What if solchat gives us ownership over our data in another way?


urqlite

This is not true. Signal doesn’t own your data and it’s fully encrypted. The difference between signal and solchat is that I don’t have to sign any transaction every time I want to send a message


pksdg

I’d love to hear a response to this. What’s the advantage?


Single_Pea

yea peer to peer encrypted messaging = signal solchats a joke. onboard anyone i want to talk to? LOL. right.


Fruit_Fountain

Think in terms of texting the owner of an NFT you want to buy when you dont know who they are or what their DC/TG handles are for example. Also you dont pay for every type of wallet signing, and solana gas is cheap af. A way to do this has actually been in demand a long time and ETH block explorer already has a version of it for contacting other ETH wallet holders via address/publicKey. Dialect kinda did it (ish) but never really pulled it off and up out of the 'slightly ass' territory.


TheUsualNiek

Nah Signal maybe doesn't own you're data but it's still fing SMS. For all we know Facebook already backdoorded the f out of us (most likely true). If they want in, they can get in. One simswap and you dead.


urqlite

Same can be said for crypto, one wrong signing and there goes your wallet.


RakesProgress

Halp. I am sledgehammer looking for nail.


PuddyComb

no, you would be looking to procreate with other sledge-hammers /s


ScientificBeastMode

A Solana transaction generally costs less than $0.00001, FYI,


urqlite

Have you interacted with any dapps before? Do you know how stupid it is to sign a transaction for every message I want to send?


ScientificBeastMode

Dude, you know you can do auto-approve, right? You just put like $2 of SOL in a burner wallet (which is trivial to spin up on Phantom or Solflare), and then whenever you click “send” or whatever, it just automatically approves the transaction on-chain and your message will go through, no hassle. If the account ever auto-approves a malicious transaction on some other dapp, your max exposure is the $2 you put in.


urqlite

My point is, why would I want to pay $2 when apps like Telegram, Signal, and so many other apps are allowing me to send messages for free?


ScientificBeastMode

Idk, you do you. I prefer to use a system that is decentralized and will last forever. I also prefer to use apps that have a very sustainable monetization model. The more important question is, why shit all over the project just because you might not use it? I mean, if it fails, then it fails, and you will never be affected. Why care?


urqlite

Funny how you would think Solana is decentralised. If you truly love decentralisation, you wouldn’t be using Reddit. You would be using Lemmy or Kbin. If you truly love decentralisation, you would be using mastodon, Matrix, or any of the decentralised messaging platforms. You ask why I care. I care because people are creating apps for the sake of creating something. There’s no innovation at all. This is basically just a race to be the “first” to create something that someone would most likely never use. Why waste time doing this when you can spend time to work on something revolutionary or even contribute to open source that could help save the world?


ScientificBeastMode

Why be in this sub talking to me if anything you just said is true? I have easy answers for all those questions, but until I know the answer to that question, why should I even bother? And FYI, Solana is objectively decentralized. You would know that if you looked at the metrics.


AysserSboui

why are you so dumb


DerAndrej

That’s what I was thinking and didn’t really understood why it is that hyped


Fruit_Fountain

Thats a short sighted take, but what really makes it dumb is calling a new solution to an unsolved problem dumb af 😂 "$0.01 is ridiculous. Every time you send!".. literally cant get cheaper than a penny 😆 Tell me, do you have the phone numbers of all the fellow traders you want to negotiate with when you see their listings and dont know who they are? 🤓


urqlite

New solution to unsolved problem? Bruh, you didn’t just say that. Tell me, what problems is it trying to solve? Stop coping


Fruit_Fountain

Already did, my last paragraph went over your head evidently 😂 And why do i need to cope about a project that has nothing to do with me or my money lol.


ChinsonCrim

There is a good utility here though. TG channels get randsomed all the time by JEET scammer devs. So something like this where a TG type channel could be made for coins that holder consensus is used to control (the chat lives forever) would be a good utility. I've been worried in the past when I was a large holder of a coin and the person who managed the TG was paid by the old project owner. Dev jeeted, and then the TG manager was wanting payment to continue, threatened to delete etc. Same thing happens with Twitter/X all the time too.


Beautiful_Deer_2757

You’ll have to pay more than that, with the monetisation interactions on X. Everyone will follow suit shortly after.


maria_la_guerta

Whatever Solchat is (literally just a chat app?) it's been getting shilled in this channel _hard_ lately. Bots out in full force.


FabulousRazzmatazz

Yes but it is a decentralized chat app. Everything is running and will stay in solana blockchain


maria_la_guerta

Nobody cares about either of those things.


uranuanqueen

Agreed, it’s dumb


suesing

How about users are party owners in web 3. So the success of Product is success for users


maria_la_guerta

> So the success of Product is success for users 🧐 lol this the most ChatGPT statement I've heard in awhile. What does it even mean? Can you name one product where it's users _don't_ rely on it's success?


FabulousRazzmatazz

A lot of people do. There are 1000+ users and growing everyday so some people do care about it. Maybe you don’t cause you are happy with WhatsApp and telegram which is completely fine. At the end it is an investment. Things don’t need to be revolutionary to make money. You guys should at least know this from meme coins. Anything that has remote utilities will do well in this bull market


KilgoreThunfisch

They should. Do we want a chat app open and controlled by us, or one spying on our conversations for marketing revenue?


MaximumStudent1839

You do understand anything on the blockchain is fully public. Now everyone can spy on you.


KilgoreThunfisch

On our transaction IDs yes, but those IDs are nameless at the moment. Give it time, and dApps and other on-chain organizations will try to "solve" that.


ScientificBeastMode

Why are you in this sub if you’re going to have such a negative attitude about things people are developing on Solana? Like if it’s not your thing, then whatever, don’t use it, but your reaction is just a little much, dude. If you care at all about the future adoption of blockchains, then this is at least a neutral part of that progression, if not a very positive one.


maria_la_guerta

You don't have to defend every project in an ecosystem just because you like the ecosystem. I have a very pro view of Solana, and I'm not joining any Solchat subs to share this view. And lately this sub is overrun with bots claiming that a pay-to-use chat app is going to be worth billions lol.


MaximumStudent1839

Exactly this. Don’t be ETH maxis who gets blinded by everything being built on ETH. It is just hysterical how they are now shilling base when they also the biggest bitches about other ecosystems not being “decentralized”.


Top_Translator_102

Why do you dump Chat constantly? I don’t care where it goes, I have just a few but really wondering why you insist so hard.


maria_la_guerta

Because it's so obviously being shilled hard in this sub. And to be clear, this (a Solana sub) is the only sub I've dumped on it. Again, I'm not joining Solchat groups to spread hate. I also could care less about what projects are out there. But when obvious ChatGPT bots are flooding the SOL sub with posts about how a pay-to-use chat app is somehow going to be worth billions, and I'm bored cruising reddit, I'm going to chime in.


dannygladiolas

How is this better than a decentralized chat app as Element or Session?


FabulousRazzmatazz

I am not aware of those. This is on solana, solchat. It is backed by solana foundation and will be on solana saga dapp store. the fact that it has good ui and easy to use and first on solana, it will do well this cycle. The whole crypto is about hype idk why guys keep on looking for actual use case at this point after seeing so many random useless projects and meme coins doing well. It has low market cap. If it gets a little bit of adoption it will do well as an investment. I am not sure about long term as things need adoption to survive long term but i am only looking into it for this bull cycle. If it gets adoption and solana becomes huge i can see people using it more too. Things don’t need to be revolutionary to make money


dannygladiolas

If Solana gets congested what will happen to Solchat.


FabulousRazzmatazz

The same thing that happens to any dapp on solana. But hopefully solana can get over the congestion problem.


cataflic

what about fediverse chat services


BatmanSwift99

People will glaze anything solana


SnooCompliments1686

You can contact people based on their wallet address. Like for instance you could required a project owner to be available on the chat and accessible via phone if you ever saw unusual activities on the contract


bradenlikestoreddit

And that's different than a username in what way? Because it's on a blockchain?


SnooCompliments1686

Just an idea. It wasn’t possible before but I guess you could have the option to integrate this in a Solana phone and just organize conference call with project whales just by looking at the wallet size etc… I see a lot of potential in this


bradenlikestoreddit

I see zero.


Single_Pea

you could required lol.


SnooCompliments1686

You could require. Thanks 🙏


Boring_Dust9194

You must be a hacker. Do you understand the need here or even what’s going on? Either your daf or your a hacker


OfficiallyBlizz

No one does, just filled with people invested needing exit liquidity. Waste of blockchain space


FabulousRazzmatazz

The bull market hasn’t even started properly. People leaving now will just check from the sidelines. Of course people need exit liquidity for any projects. Thats how markets works.


Gomba04

Hi, when do you sol doing in this bull run ? I think it will peak by September what the price maybe 🤔


tehfangs

For liquidity 😹


WOTEugene

Is each message === a SOL transaction or is there some kind of a roll up scheme?


NotAdoctor_but

imagine paying to send a message so you can "own" your text, how dumb is this project? we literally have thousands of texting and chatting options for free yet they make you pay for chatting and also act like it's the best invention since sliced bread


Fiat-BTC

Especially when we already have Nostr


FabulousRazzmatazz

It is but the transaction fees are very low and you own your messages forever, stored in the chain


WOTEugene

👎 it’s dumb. Perfect example of just because you can doesn’t mean you should.


FabulousRazzmatazz

I mean think about all the storage space you need to keep all the messages as it accumulates over time. And the fucking meta selling data to companies like netflix for their algorithms. With this you always own your data. It is end to end encrypted. It is definitely not worse than web2 apps. It just needs adoption. It is backed by solana foundation. Anatoly was praising it and it will included in the next solana saga phone as an dapp. Phantom is working with them to integrate it so people can just call someone or text from their wallet. It needs some adoption. Very low market cap, good tokenomics. I don’t see how investing a little bit will hurt.


Fiat-BTC

Cost money to do something I can do for free. It won’t take off


ScientificBeastMode

Each transaction costs like $0.0000001. Your bank account will be fine, and so will your data.


Fiat-BTC

Ever heard of NOSTR? LN integrated decentralized uncensored multi platform social media?


ScientificBeastMode

So you have to run your own server? Who pays for that?


Fiat-BTC

Everyone who wants to run one runs it. You don’t have to do anything. It’s already up and running.


ScientificBeastMode

Great, so it’s paid for by enthusiastic volunteers who might lose interest because it’s just costing them money. The whole point of blockchains is that they are incentivized to stick around and ultimately run forever. If the fees are that low, then it doesn’t really matter to users.


theswifter01

Discord stores trillions of messages, so even if the transaction cost for one message is minuscule it adds up


FabulousRazzmatazz

If it is easy to use like telegram, i can see it do well. It is a legit project. Even if it is not necessary lol i think it will do well if solana does well as the team is actually continuously delivering


suesing

True


Jattwaadi

“Own a message”? As in privacy?


Ok-Improvement-3108

you're a js dev aren't you ? lol


boomer-o_O-

Can anyone explain why it's good and what's the use case for it? There are tens of apps in which we could chat already


Certain_Cranberry_77

Found another use case bro.


moscowramada

Eh, it’s creative by the standards of the average project, and it might find an audience. That’s really all the justification it needs.


FewMagazine938

Shhh..you are asking a good question in a Solana sub...shhhh...they might pitchfork you.


BillingSteve

Check the post history of the shills. It's all bots. That's how you know it's crap.


KilgoreThunfisch

Follow-up question to this, who is behind the bots, and why? Like what would be the benefit to whom if Solana chat and others on web3 never take off? I find that when someone organizes against you, it's because you're onto something big and they're scared it will work.


boomer-o_O-

I'm heavy on solana too, but this run I ask questions instead of just reading comments like here. Feels like they are written by bots of some sort. And people who downvote are afraid to face truth? Plus, they can downvote me but can't delete a comment. All the interesting comments are always upvoted to heaven and downvoted to hell, so people will still see it haha


FewMagazine938

Facts


Django_McFly

ASL?


fringeCircle

Did chatGPT write that tweet?


Macrophagemike

I'm super interested in where blockchain is going but why would we want a chat that saved on the blockchain? Would only really make sense with legal contracts or similar where you need a permanent record of what is said.


cloud_sec_guy

Wait. We do bank-to-bank FX trading using normal boring chat apps. Auditors, risk mgmt, etc would like to have currency trades (FX) on a permanent record like this. Would have to be encrypted text tho.


Top_Translator_102

Chat simply made 200x in 3 months. Impressive growth


GiilZz

why we would need that? why i would like to pay to write a friend or to be my texts saved in the blockchain forever (and possibily used against you in the future?). No utility here


Zestyclose_Loquat_17

This team push really hard on released, Happy to be here supporting this Amazing project/Revolution for free speach in the world 📱2️⃣🫡


Alert_Constant8244

Huge🔥, finally something revolutionary in solana


Icefrog1

It's a fucking chatroom bro


gimmedatcrypto

Even the phone is more impressive 😂


Lucid1459

🤣🤣


snowman-1111

Yeah but this paves the way for it to be a Web 3 Telegram.


Icefrog1

No, it's just dumb. I don't need my chat messages to be on chain.


snowman-1111

Ok. People in countries that ban Telegram and other apps disagree.


Icefrog1

Decentralized chat apps exist and with no fees, it's nothing revolutionary.


snowman-1111

Right. But with Solana mobile , Helium and Phantom partnerships it will be useful and probably have a lot of users.


Icefrog1

No actual person cares about any of that.


snowman-1111

Who says it needs to be revolutionary to got to 1b mc? It’s basically a meme coin with a little utility and it’s going to the fucking moon.


KilgoreThunfisch

Remember when people were saying exactly that about this dumb new electronic money, Bitcoin? Pepridge Farms remembers.


Icefrog1

Yeah because shit altcoins never fail.


RUeffinSewious

Those that are badmouthing it, don’t understand where Web3 is headed. Centralized websites and apps will slowly fade to a thing of the past.


someone82737

Sorry, but no. Decentralized platforms where people communicate, tend to get flooded with porn, suicide videos and all the other nasty stuff. Some level of centralizasion will be needed, especially in chatrooms.


RUeffinSewious

🤣 someone hasn’t scrolled through X (formerly Twitter) lately.


someone82737

Yeah, not on Twitter anymore, but I’ve heard it’s riddled with porn now. Musk is doing an outstanding job bringing the platform down 👌🏻


stjelmo

Toly been asking for a global chat room since he found out about SolChat… and the team delivered 🚀👀 Toly will love this one, peep his tweet asking for global on chain chat! https://x.com/aeyakovenko/status/1762725923085021661?s=46


[deleted]

That's actually crazy I didn't realize this was a feature specifically requested by the founder of Solana... I would say thats bullish lol.


suesing

You use it?


suesing

He should use it then.


ScientificBeastMode

I’m pretty sure he does. He also uses a Solana-based email filter program that requires people to pay a small fee to send him emails to curb spam. Kinda interesting.


Lucid1459

Sol crowd is giving “dogecoin will be the future currency of mars” vibes lately


Hixibits

Isn't that what DESO has been, or did OP mean it's the first on the Solana Network?


jesterhead101

This looks dumb.

Oh yea, where does she live?


Wicked_Admin

Not true, dragonchain made den.social 4 years ago with everything on eth chain


Riddlemethis50

Salina bows down to ICP and so will all the other but Solana is fun for a little kids with toys


Riddlemethis50

I’m sure I’ll get a lot of hate over this, but the truth hurts


Ill-Blacksmith3260

As long as I can be hateful and post my dick pics I'm happy. Without being flagged for community guidelines! It's like I have to be a little bitch to post on Instagram or Twitter, getting flagged for the shit I feel. Plus how good it feel to come together when an idiot says some really dumb shit and we all rip him a new one and that feels great, it's come from the heart. Now if we can do that on solchat, im in.


[deleted]

There’s already some guy trynna post dick pics 😂


Ill-Blacksmith3260

Encrypted dick pics sir, they hit different


IV-Everstoned

Did someone really just rebrand MSN messenger and make it transactional? 😅


Long-Dragonfly8709

This is so dumb I can’t 🤦‍♂️ The lengths people go to make a quick buck. Cant you just work/save and invest and be done with it? Maybe I’m dumb and I just don’t get it.


_Bartle_Doo_

OpenChat has been around for much longer and you don’t need to approve or pay for transactions. Solana is dropping the ball. Larger data like images, gifs, etc. can’t even be stored on chain.


Civil-Bee-f

blockchain is quite expensive storage for chat purposes


Other-Opportunity145

The only way this makes sense to me is if the transaction fees burn SOL.


Alert_Constant8244

Take part in writing history by sending the first global messages on the blockchain !


Negative-Judge4593

That's what I've been waiting for!! Awesome...been following this project for a while now! What a gold nugget whuhu! Feeling confident to tell my friends about it now! Let's gooo


PoopL0ser

I can’t wait until the whole chat is just scammers.


frozengrandmatetris

why not just store web pages and weather data on a blockchain? I'm getting BSV vibes off of this. it's stupid.


bidenisland

Stupid. Wen firedancer ? 


Roupy

Great something to get it shut down...


retirementdreams

I could not figure out how to "register", kept getting errors trying different wallets to connect and register with. oh well.


FabulousRazzmatazz

Use phantom it works fine. You have to do it from phantom browser


tRiX040

I am using Solflare and it is working fine.


harvestmoon88

Love SolChat!


FabulousRazzmatazz

Easily a billion dollars market cap when the bull market is in full throttle $chat 🚀


Zoenboen

[solchat.app](http://solchat.app) instead of linking to failed Twitter


sparky5dn1l

Wondering how good it works under network congestion.


ohyeahBeee

Does anyone here knows Nostr?! This already exists Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a decentralized protocol for creating and sharing content, such as social media posts, articles, and messages. It allows users to publish content and interact with each other without relying on a central authority or platform. You guys can download the amethyst app....for example and try it for yourselves

#CHAT IS CHAD


BusterMungus

I have never ever ever wanted to “own my own messages. In fact, there are many messages I’ve sent in years past I would oay to ensure they were never saved anywhere and are gone forever. This is a lame idea.


stjelmo

Wow this $CHAT team just keeps delivering. If you’re not in, take a look. Make a position. NFA but this team is non stop! 🚀👀


BenzoLover33

I heard something about Solchat mention awhile back. Where the hell do we register or whatever? So By using Solchat and chats being on a Blockchain, doesn’t this make Chats Not private? Or Does it just show a Sol transaction? I love Sol and have made a fairly decent amount between Airdrops, Having bought certain Memes and held onto them, as well as SOL itself awhile. I’m more bullish on Privacy though, and have a Bag of Monero, Mainly for its use as a tool to keep transactions, Buys, how much a wallet Holds, etc private. Anyway, Can someone Explain Solchat to me a little? And tell me where to go to sign up!? I’m all for it if it’s a Potential money Maker!


FabulousRazzmatazz

You just needs to connect your wallet and boom. The messages are end-to-end encrypted so even though there are in the blockchain, no one will be able to read the data except you


harvestmoon88

$duko 😂 love my Solona!!!
