verify user

when posting a message, a user can pass an identity secret, which is used to sign the message. Readers of the messages check the sign and show for each message a graphical representation of the fingerprint (ie via identicons ). That way, you can recognize a writer. Since sharedsecret works without registration, there is actually no way to identify a writer, because everybody could use every name. With the secret and signing (which is not fakeable by the server), a reader can at least make sure that two messages are written by the same person.
