q9656296 - Integrate Incognito into Telegram (PoC)

#1

Hello everyone!

I’m pretty sure you came across @andrey 's article Integrate Incognito into Signal and other messengers.

When I saw this article, I carefully studied the comments and found a post from @andireuter (about integration Incognito into Signal), which inspired me to integrate Incognito into one of the top messengers. And, so I chose Telegram - the most popular (as for me). I carefully studied the documentation and discussed with my team a plan to implement it.

For some time we didn’t even dare to publicly declare that we were starting to do this project. Therefore, today we already have something to show. And we plan to add more in the next couple of days.

Regarding @andireuter’s post: I think we are solving the same privacy problems but in different messengers. We also would like to make Incognito a default privacy wallet in the Telegram. And the first crypto wallet as well.

What is the solution?

We’re moving @andrey’s idea forward and plan to implement the basic functionality of the Incognito wallet in the Telegram:

  • User registration or import of an existing Incognito account. > Adding an Incognito button (after clicking on the “Burger” button in the Telegram)
  • Assigning a wallet to the user when logging into Telegram > binding the public key to the userid
  • Display of user balance
  • User keys manager: Export private key > Copy keys, view keys, import existing keys
  • Ability to create or import multiple Incognito accounts.
  • Sending currency to another user using his wallet address

Based on our discussions with the team, we have described the basic test cases:

Opening:

  • New user can register on Telegram and open Incognito modal window
  • User can login and open Incognito modal window
  • User gets an Incognito account automatically
  • User, that already has an Incognito account, can open an Incognito

Assets:

  • Account Anon is default
  • Balances are viewed on the main page
  • Button “Accounts” is visible on user’s dashboard
  • User can open “Accounts”
  • User can choose an account and view balance

Keys:

  • Button “Keys” is visible on user’s dashboard
  • User can open “Keys”
  • List of accounts is visible
  • Details for each account can be opened
  • Account details include “Your incognito address”
  • Account details include “Private key”
  • Account details include “Public key”
  • Account details include “Readonly key”
  • Account details include “Validator key”
  • “Your incognito address” can be copied
  • “Private key” can be copied
  • “Public key” can be copied
  • “Readonly key” can be copied
  • “Validator key” can be copied

Import:

  • “Import” can be opened
  • “Import” has a field “Keychain name”
  • “Import” has a field “Private Key”
  • “Import” has a button “Import keychain”
  • User can enter a name for Private Key
  • User can enter Private Key
  • User can click on “Import keychain”
  • After clicking on “Import keychain” button, the user is transferred to the “Keys” section
  • After importing keychain, new account is visible in the list

Transfer:

  • User can go back to the previous section

Trade:

  • Button “Trade” is visible on user’s dashboard
  • User can open “Trade”
  • Account Anon is default
  • “Trade” has 2 fields for entering count of coins
  • Currency indicated next to fields
  • User can click on currency and choose another currency from list
  • “Trade” has a button “Order”
  • After trade, balance of currency to increase

Send:

  • Clicking on any currency in “Assets” opens the “Transfer” window
  • The current balance of the selected currency is indicated
  • Button “Send” is visible
  • Clicking on the “Send” button opens the “Offer”
  • “Offer” has a field “Amount”
  • “Offer” has a field “To”
  • “Offer” has a field “Fee”
  • “Offer” has a field “Note (optional)”
  • Only numbers are allowed in “Amount” field
  • Field “To” must contain the recipient’s wallet address
  • Field “Fee” shows shipping charges
  • Field “Fee” is optional test field
  • Button “Send anonymously” is visible
  • User can send currency
  • After sending the currency, the account of the currency that was forwarded decreased
  • After sending the currency, the recipient’s balance has increased

What do we have today?

Hey @q9656296, welcome to the Builder ecosystem! :slight_smile: :tada: Please give my warm greeting to your team! :black_heart:

It’s so exciting to see your proposal to integrate Incognito to Telegram. Most of our current users are using Telegram as well, so we hope that this project will get a huge tractions from the community, and contribute to the mission that help spread a word about Incognito widely :muscle:

By the way, I think that it would be very helpful if your team can add some ship date to the plan, so everyone can keep track on your progress. Thanks!

OMG! This is by far my favorite project :smile:.

If you are going to make a fork of Telegram, I suggest forking it from Telegram FOSS, which is just the original Telegram, but without Google services.

Also, if you need to contact the Telegram Support Force (TSF), feel free to DM me: @SenorBinario.

*copied from the signal integration post,

Pure awesomeness! I’ve been waiting for Pp2p (private peer to peer) finance to be flawlessly integrated into Pp2p communication. Can’t wait for this revolutionary reality to manifest!:pray::heart:

*I’m really hoping to have something wholistic integrating things like messaging, finance, marketplace, social, etc. Under one roof (much like the Chinese WeChat only without the technocratic big brother), I was excited for openbazzar and haven yet for some reason it didn’t take off and is full of fake users and dropshipping garbage… I’m not sure why but if anyone finds out how to do this properly it will be a game changer. If I can help in anyway (vision/strategy/etc), I’m game💙
