## Schedule

- [x] 14:30 BST - Validation profile pics
  - https://meet.google.com/woa-rzhz-nhf
  - **Notes :**
    - Would like to discuss the best way to validate the concept of avatars and how they can impact retention. 
    - Million dollar question: Will they result in more people using Status more often?
    - Rough compromise:- How many people familiar with Status opt for custom Avatars over their default avatar?- How many people opt for a custom avatar over a custom profile picture?
    - Creating a prototype for 2 variations:
      - allow selection between the 3 options as part of onboarding 
      - allow selection between the 3 options as part of Profile editing, after having seen a chat where others use the avatar
    - [Profile Avatars](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rP9YaeBYPqXgLVX1jkY1cFy1kExzg535YKo1VI7oSQk/edit#slide=id.p)

    - The best option is to use avatars as you can attach the avatar to every message.
    - Image can work but only in the context that the image data can be heavily compressed, or accessed from a trustable URL.

     - Discussion of user display names:
       - The group agreed that adding only profile photos would be seen as delivering half a feature, and that the other half of this feature is allowing the user the ability to chose their own display name.
       - Need to write document detailing
         - Threat modeling for display name
         - Show rationale for why a display name would be good
         - Add an element of uniqueness, `<display_name> + <first_8_chars_of_pubkey>`, "Jupiter King 0xeb18d99c..."
