Time to put the social back in socialVPN!

If you have some feedback for developer features, let me know.

I was thinking that SocialVPN certificate exchange could be done as Direct Messages through Twitter (since they are persistent), this should be possible through the REST API, right?

Also, can I do a search for only my following and/or followers with #svpn hashtag. I tried that a few years ago, and I could not get it to work.

I'm almost sure an authenticated app can do a DM, but search, I have
learned sadly, only goes back on the order of 1 week.

So, doing a search for #svpn, you'd only get the certificate if they
posted in the past several days.

Here is a cute idea: embed the hash of the key in the profile image.
You could do this in a way that doesn't significantly change the image
(steganography).

It would be better if we had a small datastore (maybe unpublished
tweets) that developers could access. I don't know of anything like
this now.

My fear is that profile pics are so small, but I guess 160-bit hash is also small and that may be our best option at the moment.

By the way, this is a general approach that might be usable in many
social networks. You don't really need to store anything other than
one authenticated hash: the pointer in a DHT to a head of a list of
records.

If you have this working, you could integrate socialVPN with any
system with a picture storage system.
