So does anybody want to test this out with me? Here are two other threads about Bitmessage: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=121341.msg833769#msg833769 http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=136428.msg927139#msg927139 None of them got anywhere. Everybody's criticism seems to be, why use this when we have TorChat and IM with OTR? The difference is that both parties must be online to IM. Bitmessage is more like email, except it doesn't rely on a central or third party server. The client you run is essentially your mail server, but it can get messages even when it is offline for a period of time (after being restarted). I'm interested in this because of the recent TorMail downtime. Bitmessage is a decentralized messaging system. As long as there are *some* nodes on the network, you should be able to get your messages. Contrast that to TorMail. When it is down, all emails bounce. [Edit: Removed setup info, for now]
