wishlist: hidden groups #14

Closed aaannndddyyy closed 9 years ago

group chats that are not in the DHT at all and cannot be joined unless a valid invitation certificate is presented by the user who wants to join. You'd need a direct invitation from a friend that is conencted to you, or an invitation ceritficate and know a group member to connect to. So these would very much resemble current group chats. If you have an unmoderated hidden group, you basically have old groupchats - except for rejoining and preventing duplicate nicks. For friends, this might be the default group chat mode: all are equal.

For keeping a high level of user comfort, autorejoin should be tried for those group chats too, by trying to connect to the last known nodes you have seen online.
