Use personal topic for push notification registration
One of the issues we noticed is that the partitioned topic
in push notification is heavy in traffic, as any user using a particular
mailserver will use that partitioned topic to register for PNs.

This commit moves from the partitioned topic to the personal topic of
the PN server, so it does not clash with other users that might happen
to have the same partitioned topic as the mailserver, resulting in long
sync times.

Another issue that will need to be addressed separately is that once you
send a message to a topic, because of the way how waku/whisper works,
you will have to register to that topic, meaning that you will receive
that data. Currently waku does not support unsubscribing from a topic
without logging in and out, so that needs also to be addressed.

status-go/protocol

This is an implementation of the secure transport and payloads which are a part of the Status Client specification.

This implementation uses SQLite and SQLCipher for persistent storage.

The payloads are encoded using protocol-buffers.

Content

  • messenger.go is the main file which exports Messenger struct. This is a public API to interact with this implementation of the Status Chat Protocol.
  • protobuf/ contains protobuf files implementing payloads described in the Payloads spec.
  • encryption/ implements the Secure Transport spec.
  • transport/ connects the Status Chat Protocol with a wire-protocol which in our case is either Whisper or Waku.
  • datasync/ is an adapter for MVDS.
  • applicationmetadata/ is an outer layer wrapping a payload with an app-specific metadata like a signature.
  • identity/ implements details related to creating a three-word name and identicon.
  • migrations/ contains implementation specific migrations for the sqlite database which is used by Messenger as a persistent data store.

History

Originally this package was a dedicated repo called status-protocol-go and was migrated into status-go. The new status-go/protocol package maintained its own dependencies until sub modules were removed and the root go.mod file managed all dependencies for the entire status-go repo.
