Re: Bitmessage Mailing List for PicoLisp

Hi Tamas,

 why is it important to have an encrypted communication channel for
 this mailing list purpose?
 (im all for encrypted communication, btw, just curious)

Right. Not important at all :)

I just think it is good in general to get that medium up and running,
and to use it practically. In the long range I see it as a potential
replacement for Twitter.

One reason where it makes sense in a mailing list is anonymity. Not
essential for this PicoLisp list, I presume, but it might be for more
political lists. You can post messages anonymously, but still spam can
be blocked based on addresses (that's why using a chan, where all
members share the private keys, is probably not a good idea for this
public list).

Bitmessage Mailing List for PicoLisp

2013-08-29 Thread Alexander Burger
Hi all,

in case some of you like to experiment with Bitmessage, I have now
created a PicoLisp mailing list!

Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted
messages to another person or to many subscribers. For details, see

   https://bitmessage.org

If you installed the Bitmessage client, you can join the PicoLisp
mailing list by subscribing to the address:

   BM-2D9k6jt6wxipHH7ABwbDB43zBWj67Bw3U7

Let's see if and how it works out :)

Hi Joe,

 Do we also need the chan name?  I tried PicoLisp

I didn't create a chan (Decentralized Mailing List), as this involves
possible spam issues. Just a plain mailing list as described in

   https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Mailing_List

As I understand it, you can simply send messages to the given address.


 I tried joining and the Bitmessage client says Although the Bitmessage
 address you entered was valid, it doesn't match the chan name.

I think you can simply add the address to the Subscriptions tab in the
client. Then you should receive all posted messages as broadcasts.

Me too ...

To all: Seems to work fine. I've got Joe's message, replied to it, and
also posted a short test.
