Using Comments Box in Zano Wallets
-
I was experimenting with using the comment / memo option in the wallets - Both Full & Light. In the past I have used it in the Full Wallet to send a greeting along with some Zano to a relative / friend.
Given the privacy I thought it could also be used to send longer messages and have since tried this out. However I have found some anomalies with both the Full and LIght (Beta) wallets.
Full wallet: the Comment Box which extends over one line - while it allows the input of 255 Characters, the receiving wallet only allows you to read 105 characters. However, if you hover the mouse over the comment box it will show you the whole 255 character selection.
Light (Beta) wallet: the Comment Box is larger and allows you to input many characters over multiple lines. However once sent it is only possible to read 40 characters and there is no hover over option to read the rest.
I would be interested to hear feedback from the Zano Team. The Light wallet certainly appears to have the facility to send long messages - communicate privately for a 0.01 Zano fee, but in practice is limited as the comment / memo field has limited functionality.
Any thoughts? Thank you.

Funny timing, I looked at this exact thing tonight, wondering if comments could work as a private messaging layer, not really.
Every message is a transaction, so there's a fee and a block wait each time, and the field caps at 255 characters like you said.
There's no relay layer underneath carrying messages between wallets, the comment is a memo that happens to be private. Fine for a note, not really for a conversation.
not sure whats going on with the lite, devs may take a look when there not so flat out -
FreedomWallet.com already has a decent chunk of what you want with their shared private memos across wallets using the same seed. Maybe they will build in the rest of what you mentioned

Not open source. Maybe someday.
