Technical Support / Re: [API] Questions about public memo, vote_ids, key-value storage
« on: October 26, 2015, 05:21:52 pm »Great.. is it only active_keys that have permission to change memo_key? i.e. nothing can go wrong by sharing that private key?I think you'll need the owner key to change any keys.
All the memo key can do is decode the memo (unless it's the same keys as the
owner/active key!!!)QuoteWould it be possible to have a BLANK memo key? That could at least be a blockchain-level signal to would-be memo senders that the contents will not be encrypted..No idea .. give it a try.
Ok, I managed to update the memo key using the GUI wallet. What's not clear to me is how to feed it the private key..
the wallet shows no indication of incoming memos now.
I can't find any method that updates account keys (owner, active, memo) in the wallet API..
http://docs.bitshares.eu/namespaces/wallet.html
The only one is update_witness which allows you to set the signing key.

QuoteI agree key-value store should be added ASAP... devs, any thoughts as to how this could be implemented?I am pretty sure they have a worker proposal for something similar in mind ..
Hmm..........
Is this memo issue still in need of a hardfork?
i'm not github savvy, but this screen tells me that we have 5 upcoming hardforks?
https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene/labels/hardfork
I'm not sure about those hardforks. Only one of those looks like a recent issue.. not sure if the others are still relevant.
I don't think the memo issue needs a hardfork.. maybe just a new API method:
set_memo_key(string account_to_modify, string new_memo_key, bool broadcast)
Ideally, new_memo_key could be a blank string and would allow for plaintext memos.
