## About EOB (Email Over Blockchain)
It is a fun project, to demonstrate how blockchain email could look like. It is a simple app that allows you to send and receive emails over Blockchain.
EOB is on top of the `LBRY` protocol. However It is not the best fit for such a service, but it is good enough.
Feel free to contribute :grinning:
## How it works
`EOB` works with the `LBRY` blockchain.
Sending an email is creating a transaction in the blockchain, this transaction contains email metadata.
So you keep the mail metadata in the blockchain and the mail itself in somewhere like `IPFS`.
Each `LBRY` channel is an account here. You can send and receive emails to/from channels.
## Screenshots
## Requirements
* `lbrynet`: you can run `lbrynet` by running the `LBRY` desktop application.
>
## Install & Run
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mlibre/email-on-blockchain.git
cd email-on-blockchain
npm i
npm install --dev-only
```
Make sure `lbrynet` is running.
```bash
lbrynet start
```
Then run the app.
```bash
npm start
```
## Issues with LBRY
* Mails on lbry protocols are not encrypted yet!
* If the sender of the mail abandon the claim, metadata will be lost
