My idea’s straight from Tox.

Adding a string of 8 characters to the end of your Cwtch address will have the effect of having a lengthened string and therefore with the possibility to set different spam id to check (and manage) the sources of the requests for annexation (pairing).

For example, I can have three spam id active: one for friends and family, one for work, one for social networks.

These spam IDs can be deleted, modified, paused and reactivated. They may have a fixed or indefinite time limit (as your needs).

They can be also labeled to remember you their targets.

Of course, those who own your address but do not have the spam id cannot make requests for annexation.

Moving to post-stable backlog. I don't hate this idea although I'm not overly convinced by it either - I do this think there is opportunity to improve conversation management as a whole, and this should fit it with that work flow.
