The project is very promising. Developers interesting!

Hi, Thanks for your questions.
Firstly, while we are fans of secure messaging apps like Telegram, there are some major differences.

Telegram is NOT secure, private, anonymous and decentralized.

Telegram is not private nor anonymous - it asks for access to the users address book, location, your IP is exposed and it stores message history on your device.
You mobile number is also used for authorization, which directly ties your account to your name, address, credit card, etc.

Telegram is not decentralized - user information and unencrypted data is stored centrally by the company. And the server-side code is not open source - meaning central and closed control of the product itself. You can also have your account blocked or access denied.

Lastly, Telegram does provide secure communication, but due to the fact that it is closed-source it is impossible to know how your private keys and accounts are handled. And therefore, you must entirely trust Telegram, the company and operators behind it with your security.

On the other hand,
CodeMail looks to address all these issues by using the blockchain.

• CodeMail is open source and will be peer reviewed by the community.
• No centralized control over network, servers or even code base.
• Cannot block user accounts or deny access to anyone.
• No user identification via mobile number, IP address, registration, account access, etc.
• Private keys are only ever held by the user.
• Data is only ever accessible by user via private key.

Finally, to address your question regarding the app ban by blocking it from the app store and google play, there are a few solutions to this.
One may be to download and install the CodeMail app from open-source repositories such as F-Droid. Or to just manually install the app package by directly downloading it from our site to your device.
A second solution will be to use the browser based CodeMail app, which will only require the browser app itself and not be dependent on installing a standalone app.

Thanks again for your interest.

Hello, STPZ are currently for sale on ForkDelta if you prefer to buy via an exchange rather than directly using the CodeMailStamp Sale Contract.
All details are available here: https://codemail.tech/sale/

We are actively applying for additional exchange listings at the moment and will provide further info as soon as it is available.
Thanks for your interest.

On which exchanges your tokens will be trading ?

Hello,
Thanks for the great questions.
Our target users are anyone who wants to communicate securely and privately, which we believe is everyone.
Individuals want to send a message and know that it arrived without any 3rd party snooping in on their conversation or scanning their data for profiling and ad targeting.
Small to large companies and organizations all need security around their business and are spending massive amounts of money for solutions, many times which are not as secure as they claim to be.


We couldn't disagree more. 
Gmail and Yahoo are simple solutions that are free at first glance. But, the hidden cost is your privacy.
It is well known that these companies monitor and scan your data in order to profile you and target you for ads.
No one really pays attention to the fact that this is happening with their data, but when they finally realize the truth,
they become enraged at what was going on all along - just as with the recent Facebook scandal this year.
And your data is centralized and completely out of your control. Yahoo had millions of accounts hacked in recent years,
exposing people's emails, contacts, attachments, documents, etc. We have also seen that while these companies
offer "privacy" controls, these are mostly fluff and you never can really delete your account or reclaim your data.
Ultimately, they do not deserve our trust. Why not take control of what you own?


Thank you for making another great point, but again, we would have to disagree with you here.
We think government and other legal entities should operate in quite the opposite way and should be communicating with full disclosure and full accountability.
Blockchain makes this possible. Think if our elected officials communicated via blockchain and could then
fully disclose and be held accountable for their words and actions. It would vastly change politics today -
you would not have this huge mess of investigations like there is in the US with hacked servers, stolen/private emails, behind-the-scenes collusion, etc.
And finally, bad people are going to do bad things by whatever means are available to them.
We have heard this argument against Bitcoin and crypto in general,
but financial crime would still occur (and most still does) with cash and banks and credit cards.
We shouldn't stop innovation because a small amount of people may use it for bad things.
That will always be the case, unfortunately, but we all do our best to create and innovate in ways that build each other up and benefit one another.

Thank you.

This communication project will be secure, private, anonymous and decentralized, that's the way how telegram app works today, and now it is restricted in Russia, and today, the Russian FBI wants app store and google play market to reject the telegram from the stores and to ban it forever. How do you think, is it possible for your project to have the same problems in future?

Why we need censorship-free communication -
Uganda imposes WhatsApp and Facebook tax 'to stop gossip'

CodeMail solves these problems.
Decentralization is key = no single entity can control the network.
Privacy and anonymity with end-to-end encryption (E2EE) = freedom to communicate.

Hey, thanks.
I assume you mean the monetary value of Stamps?
As opposed to the relative utility of the of the CodeMail platform?
Actually, both are good questions.
Definite candidates for the FAQ.
Thank you.

Who are your main target users for this kind of application?
Because ordinary individuals just need regular mail providers like yahoo or gmail.
Because this kind of secured communication has very few target groups of users.
Either legal entities that works for the government or illegal groups such as for those who are dealing drugs and other smuggled goods.

#CodeMail

this could be a good FAQ:

What determines CodeMail's  value?

Hello,
Apologies, but I am not sure what you mean by "last destination".
Please take a look at the website and new FAQ and let us know if you have any further questions.
Thank you.

Do you Please let me know, What is the last destination of Global Decentralized Communication Network ?

Hello,
Thanks for your questions.
Yes, right now we have two bounty programs underway:

• Twitter Bounty - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bounty-codemail-stpz-decentralized-communication-platform-twitter-campaign-3915104
• Translation Bounty - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bounty-translation-campaign-codemail-stpz-decentralized-communication-platform-3416703

As for fund allocation and STPZ supply, please see the following:

• Stamps Pre-Order Sale Page - https://codemail.tech/sale/
• Newly post FAQ - https://codemail.tech/faq/

Now, to give you a little more detail on your questions.
500,000,000 STPZ (ERC20 tokens) have been created and are for sale right now.
(You can confirm this by looking at the STPZ token contract and Sales contracts on the Ethereum blockchain - see links on the Stamps Sale Page.)
All proceeds from the sale will be used according to the Development Funds chart and outline in the OP and on the Stamps Sale Page.
A small amount of these STPZ are being used for the bounty programs above. (Technically, this would fall under the marketing and promotion of CodeMail.)
If you read each bounty's details, you will see the amount of STPZ available for participating in each.

Next, if you look at the Stamps Allocation chart and time line (in the OP and on the Stamps Sale Page),
you will see that upon the initial release of the CodeMail network all STPZ (ERC20 tokens) will be exchanged 1-to-1 for native Stamps tokens that work on the CodeMail network.
And that over the next 3 years the remaining 50% of native Stamp tokens will be distributed as an incentive to grow the network and community.
After this all 1 billion Stamps will be released, which is the max number of Stamps that will exist.

Hopefully that helps answer your questions.
Please let us know if you have any more.
Thank you,

New CodeMail FAQ now up on the website:
https://codemail.tech/faq/

this thread explains about the idea and the composition of the activity of this project, I see a promotion program in the form of bounty campaign, but the information allocation of funds is not in this thread, where I can see the allocation of funds for bounty campaign? and also how much total supply of coins at ICO?

This project looks promising! It came from the principle of Post Office Stamps. I will not be surpise if this project will succeed soon!

A great project and careful planning. I hope the team will work hard and maximize in the promotion, to be accepted by investors.

Hi, thanks for your questions. And sorry for the delay in response - we've been busy getting the Twitter bounty going.

These are really great questions.

1.) We are not aware of any direct competitors, but with many, many ICOs and new projects popping up each day, there very well could be projects that are similar to CodeMail that we just have not come across yet. If you are willing, please feel free to share the name of the project you participated in or any others of which you are aware. We'd love to review and offer comparisons.
That said, if you look to secure, non-blockchain email solutions there are quite a few out there. These solutions have a few main problems that we are trying to solve with CodeMail:

• provide true end-to-end encryption (E2EE)
• encryption of meta-data, email headers, to, from, cc, etc.
• and no centralized control by company, jurisdiction or government.

More generally speaking, we've seen many projects (not specifically email related) that while built on blockchain, still have areas where control is centralized - usually at the company level. Either by maintaining control of the project, the code, the decision making process, or a business model that takes a cut of the transaction fees when using the network. Which is why as the CodeMail project develops, our company will gradually and entirely hand it over to the open source community and operators of the network. This will be done by:

• Fully open-source all code after the official release and launch of the network.
• Provide developer incentives for the open source community to maintain the project and drive future development.
• Provide network incentives for node operators to build out and maintain a stable infrastructure platform.

See Stamps Allocation for more details on this.

2.) Regarding no errors or backdoors in the code -
As you may well know, there is no perfect product nor perfect code. There is always the chance that unknown errors or bugs in code can lead to security vulnerabilities. But, we feel the best way to prevent this is through open-source and peer-reviewed code. This means that CodeMail will not use any proprietary code or algorithms (including encryption algorithms) within the product and always use best practices and best standards for development. And as mentioned before, all code will be open-sourced and subject to community peer review, which will undoubtedly strengthen and secure the all aspects of project development.

Again, thanks for the opportunity to answer some good questions.
Please let me know if you have any follow-up.
Would be great to continue the conversation.
Best Regards,
CodeMail
