private/keys

This file contains your user profile. It should look like this:

{
:name "your nickname"
:about "some string that describes you"
:picture "https://url-to-your-avatar"
:public-key "your public key"
:private-key "<your private key>"
}
  • name: This is the name you have chosen for yourself.
  • about: Anything description you want.
  • picture: The url of your avatar, make sure you access it with https.
  • public-key: A string containing your 32 byte public key in lower case hexadecimal.
  • private-key: A string containing your 32 byte private key in lower case hexadecimal. Having this key in plain text in a text file should encourage you to keep your computer password protected.

When you start up more-speech it checks your [[private/user-configuration|user_configuration]] settings to determine if it is time to send your profile out to the network. It will also send it out if you have made any changes in the keys file.
