Title: A protocol for easy p2p message broadcasting - FastCast
Post by: kolinko on July 31, 2014, 10:40:56 AM
Hi,
We just launched a new messaging protocol - FastCast:

"FastCast is a simple broadcast messaging protocol we had to develop for Orisi. Right now it supports a single-server hub, but it should be possible to extend it into a distributed architecture ( https://github.com/orisi/fastcast/issues/1 ), and to include a proof-of-work or proof-of-burn spam prevention.

FastCast is built as a simple web REST server based on Django Rest Framework. Here you can read how it compares to BitMessage: https://github.com/orisi/fastcast/wiki/How-FastCast-compares-to-BitMessage ."

The main repo is here:
https://github.com/orisi/fastcast

I think it may get handy in a few Bitcoin projects, hence a post here :)
