Zeronet: zero/blog/mail/talk wont work

Created on 20 Apr 2016  路  22Comments  路  Source: HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet

zero/blog/mail/talk does not work by itself it require a dns service, this is clearly a design flaw .bit should be optional not enforced

Most helpful comment

@HelloZeroNet You could add an option on ZeroHello to not link using the .bit domain, but to link directly to sites, and if the .bit now resolve to something new, you could add something like: "... is now at ... do you want to update the address?"

you can open each ZeroNet site with its address, no need for .bit

(more about .bit mapping: done onto this very ZN address, by ZeroName)

the dns is optional, every site works without it.

did you test it ? clicking zeromail from 1HeLLo give a error

yes http://127.0.0.1:43110/1MaiL5gfBM1cyb4a8e3iiL8L5gXmoAJu27 works without any problem

i said clicking from 1HeLLo

you have to modify the zerohello to link to non-domain url

why ? the rest of the sites are saved correctly but on zeromail the address is changed, why is the zeromail address overwritten ? i the user never requested to be overwritten

no idea, its just works that way

is a obvious flaw / bug then

@icf20 In ZeroMail he sets the "domain": "Mail.ZeroNetwork.bit" in content.json, which is what is causing ZeroHello to point to the .bit domain, and not to the address directly

@TheNain38
if i seed and favourite http://127.0.0.1:43110/1MaiL5gfBM1cyb4a8e3iiL8L5gXmoAJu27 i want http://127.0.0.1:43110/1MaiL5gfBM1cyb4a8e3iiL8L5gXmoAJu27 to be saved on the 1Hello not to be overwritten to Mail.ZeroNetwork.bit because i never went to Mail.ZeroNetwork.bit and never decided to favourite that address

Then you can't with the current design, because the site owner added "domain": "Mail.ZeroNetwork.bit" in his content.json file

zeronet cant overwrite user decision, by RMS definitions only crapware/spyware does that

a zeronet site can overwrite any of your decision, if you want to change it you are free to clone/modify it or you can use your browser's bookmark function, so it will point anything you want

{
"address": "1MaiL5gfBM1cyb4a8e3iiL8L5gXmoAJu27",
"background-color": "#FFF",
"cloneable": true,
"description": "End-to-end encrypted messaging",
"domain": "",
"files": {

still not respected on 1Hello, 1hello still points to .bit domain

you have to own the site's private key to modify it

so why is not http://127.0.0.1:43110/1MaiL5gfBM1cyb4a8e3iiL8L5gXmoAJu27 saved in 1Hello correctly ?

the files cached in the memory, you have to restart your client make it work

@HelloZeroNet You could add an option on ZeroHello to not link using the .bit domain, but to link directly to sites, and if the .bit now resolve to something new, you could add something like: "... is now at ... do you want to update the address?"

why u dint say that in the first place ? :D

the modifications will be reverted on the next modification on the site, so it's not a good idea to modify file you dont own.

@icf20 Btw, if you want to contact me, you can send me a ZeroMail at thekill38
