@rakoo @delta i don't know, simply propose an idea to help people know their contact are on the service, without actually storing the number themselve or linking said number to an account.
maybe send them to the relay you use once a week, if the client stop sending it, relay remove it, for example the public relay on their page, could sync between them those list, and private relay could relay those list to the public one.
it allow to maintain a decentralised list, while allowing to know someone is on the app, without linking the hashed number to an account either.
the service would know you are a user that used the app in the last week.

@hidikem @rakoo @delta hashing phone numbers does not work, there are not enough possibilities. You can literally look up the phone number based on the hash on this website: https://phonehashing.com/ So unfortunately, a phone number is not random enough for you idea. You need an identifier with more entropy to make such hashed contact storage viable.
