  5. Messages are private conversations between @names. They're opened with your own key, in your browser.
  6. So first unlock your wallet with your password. It stays unlocked while this tab is open.
  7. Type an @name and press Open. The name is looked up on the chain, so you're writing to the real owner of that name.
  8. Your message is sealed to their key before it leaves your browser. Arcades carry it, but none of them can read it.
  9. It appears within seconds, marked as in the pool until a block carries it. Then it's on the chain for good.
  10. Replies arrive the same way, and Messages shows the whole conversation, newest at the bottom.
