============
|
|
|
|
Bitmessage is a P2P communication protocol used to send encrypted messages to
|
|
another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless,
|
|
meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate
|
|
authorities. It uses strong authentication, which means that the sender of a
|
|
message cannot be spoofed. BM aims to hide metadata from passive eavesdroppers
|
|
like those ongoing warrantless wiretapping programs. Hence the sender and receiver
|
|
of Bitmessages stay anonymous.

Development
|
|
----------
|
|
Bitmessage is a collaborative project. You are welcome to submit pull requests
|
|
although if you plan to put a non-trivial amount of work into coding new
|
|
features, it is recommended that you first solicit feedback on the DevTalk
|
|
pseudo-mailing list:
