Title: Bitmessage - Secure messaging system Post by: ijphlrnxewho on May 21, 2014, 03:30:15 AM Bitmessage claim to be a Secure messaging system better than emails
https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page Has anybody review its source code to find out any flaws? Need full review from computer experts world wide. Title: Re: Bitmessage - Secure messaging system Post by: CompNsci on May 21, 2014, 03:42:02 AM Has this become any easier to install? I looked into it perhaps 4 months ago and it was a real pain under MacOS X.
Edit - seems much easier now with an application to install. Title: Re: Bitmessage - Secure messaging system Post by: doof on May 21, 2014, 06:07:59 AM Has this become any easier to install?

Need full review from computer experts world wide. Do you have any pros and cons that you can post about it here? I have been interested in this also. There seem to be quite a few "secure" messaging applications popping up lately..

Doesn't it makes it just as insecure, if you are sending a message to someone who has a standard email address (I.e. gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc). Or do both users need to be using bitmessage to send encrypted message back and forth?

Or do both users need to be using bitmessage to send encrypted message back and forth? ya both users have to be using bitmessage. good on your for recognizing that though. a lot of e-mail hosts advertize as being secure, but they fundamentally cannot be. if mail comes in unencrypted, then by definition they have to see it at some point. if you send unencrypted mail to another server, then it has to leave their server unencrypted, which means they can see it at some point. by definition. that's how SMTP works. systems like bitmessage and I2P-bote work because you can only send mail to other users of that same system, and it's encrypted end-to-end within that system.

It takes a little while to send a message because your computer has to do some work before the message is allowed to be sent out, so that part could be a bit slow as it won't be like instant messaging. Still, that work it is doing is part of the process that makes it more secure.
