DI-CONTAINER v2 — HELP

DI-CONTAINER v2 is an app for exchanging encrypted messages on the Aleo network. There is no central server and no database: incoming messages are read on your device through your wallet.

WHERE MESSAGES ARE STORED

Sending a message is a network transaction. The text is not stored on a server — it is written to the blockchain as a private record in encrypted form. The app does not “store” your conversations — it only helps you send and read them.

IMPORTANT (REUSABILITY): Containers are reusable, but clearing/processing requires a network fee.

WHAT OTHERS CAN SEE

• DIGITAL NOISE: all your messages are on the blockchain in encrypted form. For an outside observer, this is unreadable data with no extractable meaning.
• PRIVACY: message contents are technically impossible to read publicly — neither by network nodes nor by any outside observer.
• NETWORK TRAIL: only technical activity is visible (the fact of a transaction and the fee), not the substance of your conversation.

WALLET + PASSWORD

• WALLET is required to discover your private records.
• PASSWORD is required to decrypt what the wallet finds.
• A password alone, without access to the wallet, will not allow an attacker to read your messages.
• IMPORTANT: if someone gains access to the wallet and learns the password, the messages become readable.

ON-DEVICE ENCRYPTION

Text is encrypted in your browser before sending. Only encrypted data goes to the network. Since there is no central server, the concept of a “server-side chat leak” does not exist here.

“SHREDDER” MODE (MANUAL CLEARING)

SHREDDER MODE (checkbox) is a sending mode.
If you enable SHREDDER MODE, the message will be packed as “secret” (shredder) so the recipient can later remove it from RADAR with one button.

PROCESS SHREDDER is for processing incoming messages.
The PROCESS SHREDDER (N) button starts a processing transaction for shredder-messages that were sent to you.
N is a counter:

• If (0) — there are no shredder-records in the wallet (regular messages are not processed by this button).
• If (1) or more — the wallet contains records that can be processed with this button: after the network confirms the transaction, they are marked as spent, RADAR will no longer show these messages, and the containers return to your container balance as available empty shells.

How this works for you:
See (0) — you relax.
See (5) — it means you have 5 “secrets”, and it’s time to clean the shells so you can use them for your replies.

PROCESS: the PROCESS SHREDDER button starts a blockchain transaction that permanently marks the secret message as spent.

RESULT: as soon as the network confirms the transaction (usually 1–2 minutes, sometimes longer), RADAR will no longer show this message. The container is cleared and returns to your container balance as an available empty shell.

SAFETY: this function is intended strictly for secret (shredder) messages. If you try to apply it to a regular message, the transaction will be rejected by the network.

WARNING: until the processing transaction is confirmed by the network, the message may continue to appear in LOG OUTPUT.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO: this mode does not remove blockchain history and does not protect against screenshots or the recipient copying the text.

For regular messages, use MANUAL CLEAR to clear the container and return it to your container balance — regular messages are just as secure as “secret” ones, while SHREDDER is more of a paranoid extra layer and a convenient way to remove a message from RADAR with one button.

PASSWORD RULES

• For maximum security, share the password in person — hand to hand.
• If that’s not possible, use a reliable communication channel you trust.
• Use long and unique passwords.
• Do not reuse the same password across different chats.

LIMITATIONS

• The app depends on wallet and network availability. Sometimes the wallet may be syncing and temporarily not returning records (“records”).
• Traces of network activity (the fact of a transaction and the fee) remain on the blockchain.

INSTRUCTIONS (STEP-BY-STEP)

STEP 1: PREPARE (LINK)

Open the app in the wallet’s browser (Leo Wallet). Press INITIALIZE LINK. This “pairs” the site with your address.
Without this step, you won’t see your balance and you won’t be able to send anything.

STEP 2: GEAR UP (SHOP)

To send messages you need Containers.

Check the counter under the SHOP heading. If it’s 0 or low — choose a pack (for example, START).

Packs / Credits:

• REFILL (1 credit) = 1 pack = 8 containers
• START (5 credits) = 5 packs = 40 containers
• PRO (10 credits) = 10 packs = 80 containers

Confirm the purchase. Wait for network confirmation (usually 1–2 minutes, sometimes longer). Containers will appear on your balance after the transaction is confirmed.

If you don’t want to wait — make sure containers are already on your balance in advance.

STEP 3: SEND (SEND DATA)

• TARGET ADDRESS: paste the Aleo address of the person you’re writing to.
• ENCRYPTION KEY: enter the password. Warning: the recipient must know the same password, otherwise they won’t open the message.
• PAYLOAD DATA: type your text.

Press SEND DATA. At this moment your text is packed into containers, encrypted with your password, and sent to the blockchain.
Containers will be deducted from your balance (more than 12 — depends on text length) + a network fee.

STEP 4: RECEIVE (RADAR)

This is the most important part. Messages don’t “arrive” by themselves — you have to “find” them on the network.

Make sure the ENCRYPTION KEY field contains the same password the sender used.

Press RADAR ON.

What happens: your wallet starts scanning the blockchain. It looks for encrypted payloads sent to your address.

As soon as RADAR finds a payload, it tries to open it with your password.

If everything matches — the text will appear in LOG OUTPUT.

If the message doesn’t show up immediately — wait. RADAR needs time to scan the network blocks.
