Send an email for 1 mbit

[Krona Rev]

This request will probably sound bizarre, but it's nothing shady.

I know someone who needs to send someone an email, but without the usual metadata being associated with him. I offered to send it for him, but he would prefer that it's sent by someone he doesn't know. You will be able to read the email and it will be clear that it is benign.

He uses bitmessage and can be contacted at BM-2DBQzrbTASC82EaN4AzhuEJWL6z43pPbs8
He will pay 1 mbit to someone if they will simply email the message for him to the address he gives. It is meant to be one-way and the email will start with:

Note: Please do not reply to this email.
The sender of this email did not create the content (by design).
Replies will not be sent to the creator of the content (by design).

I know 1mbit is small, but it's close to the price of a stamp, so it seems reasonable. Feel free to negotiate the price over bitmessage.

Their are countless free webmail services. Your friend can use tor, register a brand new address and send the email in 5 minutes.

I guess you're right, but I think it's worth 1 mbit to him to let someone else figure this out.

Now I guess the question is whether it's worth 1 mbit to me to figure it out and then bitmessage him pretending to be someone he doesn't know. Hmm. Probably not.

how many satoshis it is?

[Chemistry1988]

how many satoshis it is?

1 mBTC or mbit or millibitcoin = 0.001 bitcoin = 100,000 satoshi

[Divinespark]

Not worth it to me or anybody I would have thought
Benign messages can be a lot of trouble

[tspacepilot]

how many satoshis it is?

1 mBTC or mbit or millibitcoin = 0.001 bitcoin = 100,000 satoshi

I was gonna ask about this too.  There are some folks out there who keep suggesting that one "bit" is equal to 0.000001BTC.  Then I see this thing that says mbit and I start asking, is he using the "bit" thing or does he mean mBTC?

[josef2000]

I will do that, PM me

[Krona Rev]

Sorry if my post was unclear.

First: I can confirm 1 mbit is 0.001 btc, or 100,000 satoshis.

Second: Thanks to those of you who've offered here and via PM, but the guy is hoping the message can go

him -- (bitmessage) --> you -- (email) --> recipient

bitcointalk.org is (helpfully) explicit about PMs not being private. The bitmessage link is intended to be an important part of the process.

This "friend" is you, I presume?

[b4basit]

you need it now or i am late?

[gampher]

can you please update if your friend still looking for this or its already done
if it is available i can do it easily

[Krona Rev]

I haven't heard from him today (but I just woke up). As far as I know it's still an open offer. I will post something when I hear otherwise. The easiest way to find out for sure is to bitmessage him.

Endlessly waiting on their encryption key.

Then there must be a bitmessage problem because I know he has the client running. I'll pass this information on.

[Krona Rev]

His bitmessage client is definitely running, but at this point it seems like overkill to try to debug what's going wrong. He decided to try to use Tor and one of the anonymous email sending services TheButterZone linked to and send the 1mbit to TheButterZone (using the BTC address on your profile page).

This was partly an experiment to see if such a bitmessage/carrier pigeon/email protocol is realistic. I guess it isn't.

Just to report:

send-email.org had blocked the IP address of the Tor exit node. The other two worked.

Thanks. I seem to remember some topic about Bitmessage and TOR... has anyone been able to get instant results between behind-TOR and non-TOR Bitmessage clients?
