PyBitmessage

============

Bitmessage is a P2P communication protocol used to send encrypted messages to

another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless,

meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate

authorities. It uses strong authentication, which means that the sender of a

message cannot be spoofed. BM aims to hide metadata from passive eavesdroppers 

like those ongoing warrantless wiretapping programs. Hence the sender and receiver 

of Bitmessages stay anonymous.

Development

----------

Bitmessage is a collaborative project. You are welcome to submit pull requests 

although if you plan to put a non-trivial amount of work into coding new

features, it is recommended that you first describe your ideas in the

separate issue.
