==Phase 5 - Messaging (Aim: Q1 2019)==
A message is "broadcast" if an owner token or channel token is sent in a transaction to the same address with the addition of an IPFS hash and an optional expiration date. The message isn't really broadcast in the sense of being transmitted to nodes, but rather each node will independently detect the special transaction type and display the message. Message display is subject to some heuristic anti-spam rules.
=== IPFS Integration ===
IPFS (Interplanetary File System) is used by Ravencoin for issuance meta-data, messaging, and transaction meta-data. Ravencoin must interact with IPFS in order to show messages because the message content is stored on IPFS. IPFS access should be on by default, but should be able to be turned off with a flag.
