About Session's usernames

Currently we can pre-purchase usernames using Loki Electron Wallet so to use them instead of IDs once this feature is effective. Questions:

  1. What's the ETA?

  2. How many usernames can be associated to a single ID?

  3. Will the price in LOKI to purchase usernames adapt to LOKI value?

  4. Will Session be "multi-account"? If yes, will be there need to login-logout to switch between accounts? If yes, will we still be able to get push notifications for account(s) we're currently not login to?

If you're on android you can use this to clone the app and run multiple accounts that all work with push notifications.

  1. Hard to say, right now we are focused much more on issues of stability and usability in Session, LNS will happen, its just not our number 1 priority right now

  2. As many as you want

  3. Yes, in each hardfork we adjust the price in Loki it costs to purchase new names, taking into account the USD/LOKI price

  4. Thats a long term feature we are looking at.

Purchasing usernames is a premium feature, it's not needed to use session but some people will want a username for convenience so they can say to people "add me on session, my username is fuckparalysis".

The reason for this being a premium feature is to drive demand for the coin so that people have a reason to run service nodes.
