Last Friday I was on air for the first time. Even though most of the listeners were asleep at my time of broadcasting, I had a blast. The station has been steadily getting more listeners and momentum. It's a really nice project, and I'm very happy to be part of it .

Wow. This is an amazing idea. The more I think about it, the more I like it. I'll definitely try to get in the alpha tests. This is very interesting !

It works in FireFox(i.e. Gecko) just as well as in other browsers. However, StartSsl is slow to update their OSCP entry for your site. As FireFox uses this to see if your site is absolutely safe, it takes +- 24 hours after getting one of their certificates until FireFox will display it properly. Although their site is a little clunky, I really like StartSSL and their service. I've been using the free certificate for https://last-mail.org, where it works perfectly. About the tutorial: -You do not need Google Chrome at all to perform these steps. -Many web servers have a hosting packet such as cPanel, which greatly reduce the amounts of steps to take. There are also tutorials available on the site of StartSsl itself.

Bug in bet slider under chrome
Very odd. This is a known bug in the styling but it has been fixed yesterday. Could you try refreshing using Shift+F5? If the bug still is there, I would like to know what operating system you're on, and the exact chrome version (see menu->About Chrome).

I don't think you understand what I'm asking. I know how you see the original amount you deposited into the bankroll, but the bankroll changes as people bet, right? How do you see the new amount, updated for the most recent wager the house won or lost?
The amount in your bankroll balance(which can be seen in your wallet window) is automatically updated every 60 seconds, taking the most recent bets into account. The original amounts you deposited will still be visible in the table below the balance.

You will never get bad reviews, because dead people don't give feedback. Now seriously, if trustless, could be a really interesting idea.
The system is as trustless as it can be. As the system needs to send your messages after you are dead, it's impossible to encrypt it in a way that only you can access it. Thus, there's still one person you need to trust: The administrator of the site. In the case of the main last-mail.org site, that would be me. To make this a non-issue for paranoid people, I've opened up the source: Anyone with a bit of knowledge of web servers can host their own version of the code for private use (for themselves or family/friends). ---- Your data is protected in a way that makes it very hard for people to snoop, though. (including me): - All identifying data (mail addresses, messages, sender alias names) are stored encrypted using MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128 with a padded iv. The exact value of this is dependent on your own mail address and the server salt. This makes everything unreadable for anyone looking directly at the database.
- Everything is stored with the use of a salt: Decrypting anything is impossible without having access to the server as well as the database.
- The site can only be accessed through HTTPS
Thank you for your reply! ~W-M

I've had quite a bit of feedback from people.
Not so much on Bitcointalk yet, however.
Please, ask me all your questions, give me all your thoughts on this subject.

This sounds like a very interesting idea. I'll be sure to read through the white paper soon and get back with my thoughts.
Have you guys heard of MediaGoblin, who are/were more-or-less wanting to make something similar (but I believe development ceased or is very slow at this time at least)?

You can prove that you're the owner of a certain address by signing a message with that address.
Others can verify if this is correct in their own Bitcoin wallet.

Hello roman.z,etothepi and other people. I am mostly a webdeveloper by trade, but I tinker a lot with audio as well (amongst other things, creating 100% code-generated song covers known as ' Bytebeat'), and might aspire to become a full-fledged synthesizer developer or something of the likes in the future. This truly is a very interesting idea. I would give it a shot myself, if it were not that roman.z was already doing such great work already; I don't want to make a competition about this and rather think that it's better to collaborate. Some thoughts I stumbled upon while thinking about from your solution: -Are you using mono or stereo audio cables right now? From the source cpde it seems to me you're not. Most computers have a built-in stereo input/output, and this would mean that you can effectively double the amount of carrier waves, and thus double the speed. -You might want to look into QAM instead of using QPSK/8PSK, which basically adds amplitude-shift-keying on top of the phase-key shifting, greatly enhancing the amount of constellations (and thus the amount of data throughput) Have a nice day, ~W-M

Uploaded a nice screenshot of the site in the main post.
Also: Security has been increased, with help by the GitHub user ilesinge.
Please tell me what you think!

Wooh! I've done a few updates. The site now works even better on Mobile, and will also work without any JS (including mobile).
Also, the security of the site has been increased even further, with thanks to ilesinge on GitHub who pointed some good fixes out to me.

Greetings, Meni, I am a web developer and have quite a bit of experience with implementing systems involving Bitcoin. If you want to know what I've done in the past, check the portfolio on my site. I also urge you to check out satoshicarnival.co, a fresh Bitcoin Casino where the front-end developer, and LastMail, my most recent hobby-project. Sincerely, ~W-M

Oh! Nice! They have servers hosted on SeaLand.
That's amazing.
---
After reading through their pages, I do wonder about their legitimacy. Contact info seems to be somewhat lacking. I'm not entirely trusting this yet. Although it does look nice.

I've fixed some issues that the mobile site had. Everything is fully responsive now. ~W-M

The OCSP is finally updated, so FireFox users should not have any problems while visiting the site anymore! Come on, don't be shy. I don't bite. I'm happy with all feedback, positive or negative. Have a nice day, ~W-M

morbid but interesting Lol, I guess you're somewhat right. The fleeting of life is not the most lighthearted subject. On another note: The OCSP is finally updated, so FireFox users should not have any problems while visiting the site anymore.

is it trustless ? how do peers verify I'm dead ?
It is trustless. When using the main system, you still need to trust me, the site administrator, to a certain extent. But as the source is open, and you're allowed to upload your own private use version, trusting me is not even neccesary. Also, all information about the messages you write, the subject, whom you address it to and the name you take is stored in an encrypted way, and is unreadable with just database access. So no worries to be had there either. How LastMail knows you've died: The system keeps track of when you're reading your emails, by knowing when you view the embedded image in the activity mails. When you have been inactive for a prolonged amount of time (the exact time amount is configurable), the system will then flag you as 'deceased', and at that time automatically send out your Last Mails. Afterwards, these messages are deleted from the server and erased from LastMail's memory forever.

Oh yes, I see. It's a firefox-only thing, in other browsers it is working fine. This seems to be a problem caused by the company that I use for the certificates. I hope that it will be resolved within 24 hours. In the meantime, use another browser or go to Menu->Options->Advanced->Verification and turn off the checkbox that says 'Use the Online Certificate Status Protocol' The GitHub repository is now set up, by the way: https://github.com/Qqwy/LastMailAlso, users using Tor, noscript or a similar JavaScript-blocking service should also be able to use the system. They won't be able to use the nice WYSIWYG HTML mail editor, of course, but they can still make text messages or write the html code themselves. The system is fully functional without JS. ~W-M
