Can I just say that armored slates are really promising

Yes, but the slate strings are huge, so while I still think they are vastly better than using http or file transfer, they are still not ideal

This seems pretty reasonable to me

They also have a pretty good workflow setup to make it as painless as currently possible. Some kind of distributed message storage and forwarding system, likely built into the network, would help though. And * cough * * cough * one sided txs * cough * * cough *

maybe Iā€™m misunderstanding, but that short message is just the initial query? why in the example here: https://github.com/j01tz/grin-rfcs/blob/armored-slates/text/0000-armored-slates.md
does it imply the actual finalization transaction is like this:

Yeah, what you are showing is the response. Seems more compact and much easier to give you a chance to notice if something has hijacked your clipboard (the text would be entirely different in the event that malicious software hijacked your clipboard and caused you to send a response that was signed by a different wallet). I think it is an improvement over what we had before.

However, I think it makes sense to allow for this text to be in a file as well because it shouldnt be mandatory to use the clipboard. It wasnt clear to me that the clipboard is mandatory until very recently.
