RE: Proposing a front-end agnostic way to store Bitcoin Lightning, crypto and social media addresses in a Hive profile

Hi

We already have this in our mobile app and website:
Here is the format example, where type define if it is external chain or 2nd layer name, etc.:

{
  "profile": {
    "name": "...",
    "about": "...",
    "version": 2,
    "tokens": [
      {
        "symbol": "BTC",
        "type": "CHAIN",
        "meta": {
          "address": "1848UG3vGSaRP94NxdYtyCMbfsSJha48BC",
          "publicKey": "03e4928405fd277ac60b08b74783dcec1aeeb9505d75031484cab97b9982507fe9",
          "show": true
        }
      },
      {
        "symbol": "ETH",
        "type": "CHAIN",
        "meta": { "address": "0x436a...3da3", "publicKey": "0x0433...f6d0", "show": true }
      },
      { "symbol": "LEO", "type": "ENGINE", "meta": { "show": true } }
    ]
  }
}

profile.tokens in posting_json_metadata is an array of {symbol, type, meta} that lists a Hive user's linked wallets. Entries with type: "CHAIN" hold the user's public receive address on another blockchain (meta.address). Show an entry only when meta.show is not false.

oh cool, looks a bit complicated though, but more expandable, I was aiming for a simpler approach, just having the address association. Where do you use the tokens?

Tokens are transferable and manageable on Ecency.com

Then let's take the ecency approach even though its a but complicated, ok? Then we have 3 apps following one format. I would see the social media links on the same level as tokens.

Didn‘t know you can tip Sats via @ecency. How does that work?

You can’t tip lightning sats, we have BTC and other chains tipping working with MetaMask extension on website. Mobile app shows your balances on those tokens, website allows you to transfer. Lightning network is not there yet. We haven’t seen much utility or usage to extend those areas…
