- knownnodes.cleanupKnownNodes() should set knownNodesActual = False if there are no nodes in stream 1 (repeated bootstrapping) - set socksproxytype before _initiate_bootstrap() - wait 5 sec in _initiate_bootstrap() to be sure all connections are closed - plugins do not work on travis - use socksproxytype = SOCKS5, check tor presence by trying to bind on port 9050 - successfull connection to 3 onion nodes in 6 minutes is not guaranteed - check that bitmessage doesn't try non-onion nodes
PyBitmessage
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 describe your ideas in the separate issue.
