Hello, so I searched google and some posts here on Steemit and no one was talking about how to make your memos private when sending users funds. To be honest I just happened to stumble upon it when sending a tip to @lukewearechange I was going to write down #wearechange but I noticed after I put in the "#" the memo changed from publig to private.
So all you need to do if sending a tip to another user and want the memo to be private you add the "#" before your message. I guess only that user will be able to see it then, but I haven't tried it yet.
Anyway with more information about it? I couldn't find any info on it in the latest blog post update or anything.
Hope this post brought some attention to it and that people can use the private memo function it now if they like.
I can confirm if you use # and change to private IT WILL STALL and never complete the transfer....tried on two different accounts....looks like a feature in development that they have added to Steemit.com but not yet built into the blockchain....guess another Hardfork is incoming soon!

Yeah, thanks for your input. It does seem to be a future implementation! That's pretty cool!

you need to also encode it with your memo key...
Currently you can do this with the cli_wallet tool if you transfer:
Apparently you can read them unencrypted through cli_wallet (logged in with memo key I guess) or right here on steemit when logged in with the memo key
You can read more about the memo key on:

Wow well spotted I'm not sure when that was added, digging through the github now for more info.. Looking at steemd it shows your transfer to luke with the memo "wearechange" .. Did you end up leaving it private and maybe this isn't active yet ?

No I left that one public, but I just noticed the function when trying to add the "#" that it turned it into private. Someone could try sending a private message to see if its just going to be blank for others or what. :)

I've got nothing liquid atm to test with, and sending an private message with the amount at zero dumped a bunch of javascript errors to console lol ..
Code seems to be there for the last 11 days at least https://github.com/steemit/steemit.com/blob/master/shared/chain/memo.js

I just tried to send you one as "# test" but it hangs and doesn't go through. Hmm.

Haha, I actually can't get a private memo transaction to work now that I'm trying. The transfer just hangs up and loads forever.

Yeah, but the fact that it changes over could imply that it's on the way... that's still a plot twist. Like uncovering the external design of the next iphone. Sure you didn't uncover a working model, but it's still cool info ;)

Apparently it might still be a later feature yet to be implemented and working.

In "memo" just start with # and it changes "This Memo is Public" to "This Memo is Private".
