yeah its a pain in the ass to use.
How dare you. To the thread starter, Bitmessage is a decentralized messaging service, that allows users to send messages to one another. It's nothing like Twitter, except for broadcasts, which are similar to notification emails.
It's awesome because it can never be wiretapped or shut down.
Torchat also cannot be wiretapped and can do anything what Bitmessage can but much faster and with less ressources.
