I'm not trying to offend anyone. I was talking about broadcast everything systems in general. Bitmessage is a fine implementation of the broadcast everything paradigm. I'm looking for an intermediate between broadcast everything and SMTP-over-Tor. My proposal is essentially: servers form a DHT.

I tried out Bitmessage and it did not seem to deliver without the sender and recipient online. It's supposed to, it just didn't. Waiting for key exchange. It's also a bandwidth pig due to its broadcast nature. What about Bitmessage? -Jonathan -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torpr

Confidant Mail is another next-gen mail architecture worth a look. You can access servers directly, via exit node, via hidden service, or via I2P. You can have your mail hosted on your own server, on someone else's server, or in the Distributed Hash Table. In the "server" case there is no limit

He was talking about using a proof of work for anti-spam purposes. That requires support at both ends. Encryption and signatures also require support at both ends. For all those reasons I think that secure and anonymous email needs a new protocol. It should not be patched onto SMTP. People hav

Setting up the hidden service itself is easy. Steps 1 thru 97 are "set up your website and get it working and secured." Step 98: add a few lines to your torrc, possibly set some directory permissions. Step 99: restart Tor, get your hidden service address. Step 100: test using Tails. The hard pa

That is an interesting point. Thinking this through in the game theory sense: Spooks' choice: 1: never mess with Tor downloads 2: mess with Tor downloads in rare cases of high value targets (where a selector like IP or cookie matches) 3: frequently mess with Tor downloads Effect of 1: they get
