Add Member: duplicate initialMsg field? #2

Closed cryptix closed 4 years ago

cryptix commented 4 years ago

Shouldn't initialMsg be equal to the root of the group and members tangles? Or even remove it?

mixmix commented 4 years ago

it should be a duplication of tangles.group.root, yes

Have fixed this and left a note in : b0b24a028508ce77681b629dad1dc9188bc20fae

Considerations:

it doesn't cost much here
in the future we may "cloak" the tangle cipherlinks, so having a plaintext key might be needed here

I think this resolves this issue @cryptix , I've closed it. If you think it's not a good solution feel free to reopen and can discuss more.

Really appreciate your close reading!

I’m leaning on the side of why have an extra key that you could set wrong but I can live with it if we clearly spec that these three keys need to be equal.
