Re: Bitmessage
@SLJ
Bitmessage is basically a an alternative communications system for exchange of anonymous messages.
It's an email like system but with builtin anonymity.
A user generates an address locally, and may use that to communicate with others anonymously without disclosing more than his Bitmessage address.
So if you meets someone in a forum or chat, you need not give out your real email address thereby disclosing your identity but may instead elect to provide the stranger an anonymous Bitmessage address.
The stranger now must download Bitmessage, create his own address and start communicating over Bitmessage.
It's somewhat like Tor, but for messaging.
Now someone may ask why not just create an extra Google account?
The problem is that Google is not very anonymous or privacy friendly, and it has become almost impossible to sign up for or use an account without having to provide personally identifiable information.
Possible use scenarios for Bitmessage include small private mailing lists for trusted communication, and having a sidechannel to route around Facebook's censorship.
Suppose that you have a Facebook group, but ther is just one issue you can't mention due to Facebook's rules.
