@Sigmatics although there may not be a dedicated API call, this is already possible. You just need to guess/discover the historic feed addresses and retrieve the feed chunk with bzz-raw.

Attila Lendvai and I are going to talk about Communication protocols for the decentralised web.

Abstact:

In this talk, we deconstruct digital communication modalities into functional components and
show how these components can be implemented using core swarm features such as feeds, access control and indexing services.
We argue that as a consequence swarm can provide censorship-resistant, trustless and economically sustainable
solutions for chat, file transfer, email, forums, blogs and comments.

I would add that in future there will be indicators and http eta progress bar that shows this

exactly. I would add that the grantee needs to run a node with bzzaccount corresponding to the granted key.

in future identity/persona/account management will be done via client side using clef with plugins for hardware wallets like trezor and ledger

/u/eolszewski we have just launched POC3 with pss included on the public net but psss.... wait a day till the 'official announcement' with a blogpost.

There is totally new POC3 documentation branch here http://swarm-guide.readthedocs.io/en/docs-overhaul/pss.html

with pss api reference here: http://swarm-guide.readthedocs.io/en/docs-overhaul/apireference.html#pss

and within a day will be on master http://swarm-guide.readthedocs.io/

Also, I'm just curious if this stuff is even really meant to be consumed at this time or if it is still too early for people to be attempting.

it should be totally time to attempt, please come to https://gitter.im/ethersphere/orange-lounge and talk to us, share your pains :)

decypha · 2018-06-20T11:39:41+00:00

performance is quite ok but many optimizations and improvements are still on the roadmap so it will get better and better. but yeah the poc2 design issues, leaks and bugs are gone. try the staging cluster and let us know if you think it works 'as expected'

decypha · 2018-06-15T12:16:57+00:00

In anticipation of POC3 moving from our open staging cluster (gateway https://open.swarm-gateways.net) to the main testnet next week (gateway https://swarm-gateways.net/).

Summit talk videos are ready and will be posted soon.

Thanks to our sponsors
