BitMessage is anonymous but NOT secure. Add a layer of crypto to your messages and you may have a chance.
Can you elaborate?

Pretty cool. What future plans do you have with it? A dedicated 'instance' as a tor hidden service would force anonymous readers too. The ability to publicly respond (through bitmessage) would be interesting too (or at least link-backs)

glad to know things are still progressing fine (just a pity we haven't been able to follow the progress through CIYAM Open).
I will keep the project active.

bitmessage is just another shining example of what can be accomplished with blockchain technology. Bitcoin itself was just the tip of the iceberg.

I've only skimmed the linked thread, but I thought BM had a sharding mechanism of some sort (streams? channels?) to prevent this problem. Why isn't that enough to solve this problem?

ROI is not a verb, the term you're looking for is 'to break even'.

It is. (once it's actually implemented) Someone's just FUDing.

It is. (once it's actually implemented) Someone's just FUDing. If you actually READ (as in RTFM) the thread, such a grouping or streams solution is not simple as you might naively assume. And probably why it is not implemented. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hG__keR9Nn0/UYGXHQZG2iI/AAAAAAAABMw/C2ZtkrLWqD0/s1600/rtfm_finished.pngAnyone who is actually a programmer knows the "devil is in the details". So these idiots who make proclamations based on some general rumor or conceptual idea, can't hold a candle to someone who is actually down in the trenches implementing this stuff and thus speaks from a deeper understanding of the issues involved. For the meantime, Bitmessage is dead. And bringing it back to life isn't going to be trivial. So who is trolling, as you always do. Anyone still paying attention to this "Legendary" idiot deserves the misinformation he spews.

For someone who's only been around for two weeks, you have remarkably strong opinions about what's going on.

I have been playing around with Bitmessage. It looks like it doesn't work well. Messages I sent out a few days ago still aren't received. Didn't have much important to say, but still it kind of sucks.
I was noticing from what I read, Bitmessage is relying on PoW. And right now just one spammer with probably just a few computers is bringing it down. I am sad to imagine what an Asic built just to take down Bitmessage could do, if that is even possible.

Seems to still work for me. Also, probably won't be an issue for this specific project, since OpenTransactions can have its own bitmessage stream separate from the rest of BitMessage (like a separate fork of bitcoin)

So ~1.5 years later... what exactly is still missing that OpenTransactions can finally take off?

In my experience bit message has been somewhat buggy.

Isn't Bitmessage incorporated into Open Bazaar?
