From: So that's what the delay is for...
From: We added the ability to send delayed messages. Copying info from the FAQ:
Delayed messages are not visible on the receiving box until a certain time in the future. The behave as if they were sent later. Delayed messages have at least two use-cases:
By setting the minimum delay to 0 days and the maximum delay to 1 day, MarbleBox will pick a random delay of up to 24 hours, obfuscating the time of the day you sent the message for other users. Of course we, and our hosting provider, have access to the contents of the message and the real time that it was submitted to us.
By setting both the minimum and maximum delay to something bigger, you can create messages that function as insurance in case something happens to you and you are unable to send those messages later. This way you can publicly reveal information (if you sent the delayed message to a well-known named box) or to a specific person (if you sent the delayed message to a regular private box belonging to that person). If you later decide you do not want the message to be actually revealed to the recipient then you should nuke your box at any point before the message is really sent. Some important things to consider:
If you send those messages from a box that you have used for other messages, then nuking that box will also delete all the other messages. See the question about deleting your messages. You may want to use a new box just for sending your delayed insurance message.
If you lose the key (the bookmark) to your box, you will be unable to nuke it, and the delayed messages will be sent when the time comes. We will not help delete messages if you lose your key/bookmark.
MarbleBox is hosted on the public internet, so, clearly, someone with enough power can take not just your message, but the whole website down. If you need insurance, it's usually better to trust a friend with your secret rather than us.
As mentioned before: we do not back up our database. So if shit hits the fan and the database is lost, your delayed messages may be deleted before being delivered.
If you chose to send those messages to a private box and someone with the key to that box decides to nuke it, this will also nuke your own delayed message that they still have not received. To avoid that, send delayed messages to named boxes as those cannot be nuked.
Once the message becomes visible to the recipient's box (or on the named box), it will stay there for 1 month and then it will be deleted like a regular message.
