cool idea, i hope it sees more use as well!

I'd love to join in with Bitmessage.
But, has anyone made an install file (.dmg) for Mac yet?

Add me

Checksums for binaries, or I won't download. How do I know it hasn't been tampered with?

Dev is currently doing many changes. It will get stable and hashed

BM-Gu7uQGMfGEzqNWP91DJ1vfZxGQxZGkNP

 True. Also, a Mac version is needed.

Would be cool to have an import CSV feature of some sort for batch importing of addresses.

And doesn't this thread kind of get rid of the concept of anonymity in the first place?

If the client adds a feature for that I'll make a CSV list.

Yes, it does, but like with Bitcoin you don't always want full anonymity. After all, if no one knows your address why have it at all? The purpose is privacy rather than anonymity; the CIA might know your address, but they can't read your messages.

I'll send a message to the creator later to request these.

Thanks and please mention to make it a .dmg file for us wet behind the ears regarding installing manually. I think a lot of us are using Macs/Linux just for the security improvement over windows....

BM-oozYiB8cz1k5nZdQeGWbodXvEs1rjHN8i

I use both Windows and Linux. There is a deb that works, and a source file. What is a .dmg?

That is the standard disk image file that you just double click on to install. It is how I install near everything on my mac. I guess it is as close to the windows .exe file as we will ever come.

Bump.

Somebody send me a message.

Is there a daemon version of Bitmessage that I can run on my headless server?  Nevermind, RTFM  https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Daemon

You can add me, address in sig.

Add me and my PGP please.

If people (and that inludes the OP here!) don't stop spamming me on BitMessage soon, I'll start a new address with a difficulty that requires you to burn a few hours of CPU time until you can message me! >:(

Out of the ~15 messages I got under the address in my signature so far, most of them (about a dozen) were just along the lines of "I'm trying this out, does it actually work!?" or "Hi, I'm ... and I use Bitmessage now!".

I am still unsure how to handle public addresses, I guess I will publish a "difficult" one soon and if I really want to continue conversations with some of the people that message me, I'll assign them an easier private one. Seems like quite a bit of work though... :-\

I apologise, I don't feel I've been spamming.

Compile it, bro. I will do it. Can show you if you wish ;)

+1 on the Mac .dmg. I tried unsuccessfully to get this running from the source and using Homebrew the other day, but after an hour or so, gave up.

Indemnified

This sounds like fun. I am willing to try this out soon.

I'll try the link you posted. Thx!
(I would have tried sooner but had read there were problems compiling, but it looks like they might have worked those out...)

Nice idea!
BM-Gu4JeNpZSZ15LEqCNK2xt82hC48NgMKf

Just to let the other Mac OS guys know, I was able to install everything in the link Rampion gave, without errors. But, the Bitmessage client kept giving the message "bitmessagemain quit unexpectedly". There is a HUGE details file listed. But, if anyone would like to help, just pm me.

Thx anyway Rampion, maybe we'll get it worked out,

Just tested it by sending a message to someone from Reddit. They must not be on though, no reply. My understanding is that eventually, if he does not reply the message vanishes?

I believe so, but then it retries every few days - think I read that somewhere. You don't have to send the test message to an actual person. There is an echo server or the like that I saw on the instruction page. Just send it to that and you should get a reply in 4 minutes or the like.

Yes. But it requires installation of OpenSSL. I tried to build a standalone app, but to no avail, as OpenSSL cant be bundled.
You should follow these instructions for now: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=229414.msg2414060

If he doesn't come ONLINE, the message disappears. They can only be downloaded dependably for two days after they are sent.

I suppose those "whitelists" and "blacklists" might come in handy.

Here's an address where I can be reached: BM-2D8SQu1S6RViEgYVWMWnNokhXuCMgA4347

The message is only kept in the network for around 2 day, but if you don't get an ACK message after that your client will resend the message.  Broadcast messages are gone after 2 days, but direct messages will be resent after that 2 days as long as the sending client is online.

And how?
I want to be reachable by people unknown to me, so whitelisting a couple people is not useful and blacklisting after I have been spammed is also quite tedious and a bit useless, as address generation is quite cheap.

I didn't receive "real" spam yet, only rather "Oh, I'm trying this out, is someone there?!?!"-style messages sent to probably everyone in this list here. I guess I'll just write a small script that sends a few hundred or thousand "Yes, it works, spam is bad!" to some people that seem resistant to learning... it's worth these CPU cycles to me for sure and might also prove to some that PoW is NOT some measurement against spam, rather against flooding.

Not everyone wants to be reachable by anyone, and may want some contact-only addresses, so a whitelist has a good purpose. As for a blacklist, as of now spam isn't real common even for me with a very public address so backlistig iis easy.

True, and there needs to be a way to import/export contact lists (.csv would probably be best), and the subscriptions/address book/blacklist should be merged into one list, with checkboxes (Example: _X_ Subscribe, _X_ Blacklist), and more fields for identification locally. The way it works now is quite cumbersome.
