Description

Deployed in block 54254 (August 8, 2015 - Frontier Day 2) by address 0x8674c218, the same developer behind the first on-chain messaging contract (MessageStore, block 54969). This contract expands on that experiment with a richer ABI: sendMessage(address,string) allows sending a string message to any recipient, while getMessageContents(bytes32) retrieves a message by ID. The deployer tested it immediately in block 54273 by sending an empty message to themselves - the same pattern seen with the earlier MessageStore hello2! test. The deployer received 38.4 ETH from 0x32be343b, a genesis wallet connected to multiple serious Frontier Day 1 developers.
