Yesterday I installed BitMessage as a test. I received a couple of message right off the bat, but had about 20 new ones this morning
Test successful!
As an addressable private message exchange system it wins on multiple fronts:
No server required
Because it is peer to peer, the infrastructure of the typical email exchange isn't needed.
Of course there are drawbacks, like to having a simple myname@server addressing structure. But you can also and are in fact encouraged to create multiple addresses that can be used for different purposes.
The BitMessage Whitepaper does a good job of explaining all the benefits and features of the system, so I won't replicate that here.
Encryption is built in to the system
Unlike encrypted email, where the headers are sent 'in the clear', none of that coveted 'metadata' is available without the keys to unlock the message
I'm under no illusions that the encryption can't be broken, but its nice to have it all built tight in, no more separate programs or copy pasting, and no more looking up keys.
As a side note, BM uses Elliptic Curve Cryptography, which as I understand it is sort of post-RSA cryptographic technology which, with smaller key sizes accomplishes exponential security.
Unattractive to Spammers
- Because each message requires a 'statement of work', that can be configured to higher levels by each address, the amount of processing time it would take to make the business model of spamming effective is too high. It will likely result in low to zero spam in the system.
Subscriptions
This is very interesting. You can use any BM address to send out 'broadcast messages', which can be received and decrypted by anyone who has 'subscribed' to your address.
Hello peer to peer twitter!
As with all technologies, adaption depends on the user Interface.
I took a bit of work to install on my Mac and the interface is very rudimentary. It doesn't even make sense to critique it.
Put an email like interface on this along with a twitter UI for subscriptions and I think this thing is a winner. A familiar UI will easily obfuscate what is going on behind the scenes.
You send and receive messages just like regular email
You subscribe to broadcasts and reply to them just like twitter
There's already one example of a web based UI [see picture above] that looks promising, although I couldn't get it to install correctly on my machine [yet].
I would pay money to have a desktop and mobile app that provides a functional UI for BM with obvious integration with address book contacts etc.
Looking at BitMessage, BitCoin and BTSync, it is clear to me that these peer to peer systems have a real future in distributing and exchanging data.
Independent developers will be able to create value in the apps they develop, which I think will be recognized by users who are tired of being the hamster in the wheel of the the 'tech-industry'.
I have added my BM address to my regular email signature. You can reach me at:
BM-2D8iwjp5AxcwGvQGtUiXuGvpnrTMsYRUT2
Decentralization = Freedom
I was turned onto bitmessage from a tweet and immediately understood the concept.
Take BitCoin's transaction and block transfer system but use it for messaging.
Added advantage is the burden of 'statement of work' should remove attractiveness for spammers.
Installation is definitely not ready for primetime yet, but simple enough by just cutting and pasting the command line commands provided in the install docs
I used the macports install procedure on my mac-mini
After quite some time spent waiting for all the required bits and pieces to be installed, the program started up without any issue.
Very similar to BitCoin, I created an 'address' which is:
BM-2D8iwjp5AxcwGvQGtUiXuGvpnrTMsYRUT2
Now for the testing. Looking forward to receiving your messages!
