Edit: Eid did you receive my message?

Nope

eid, I have been able to communicate all right with you (and also with my other contacts). I only had problems to send messages to jaberwoc and to Parazyd ("Sending public key request" or "Waiting for their encryption key" errors). It seems that they might be doing something wrong...

I had problems with both of those too. Jaberwock seems to have fixed his now though as all my tests just went through.

eid I received your message and from you raganius. thanks

very cool! ^^

I've just sent you a test message. Sorry I wasn't here before to help you.

I hope it works well for you.

Also, try asking for help here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/announce-bitmessage-p2p-messaging-system-based-partially-on-bitcoin-128230

BM-2cTxwdqn7xKkidwUX9BEvGKQJ4GDQuFJrG

sent

p.s. my BM address is now in my profile. Shame I can't change my vote

After generating the address it is ready to accept messages rightaway? Or do I need to enable it? It is instant? I didn't receive any message yet.

Yes, the problem is my end. It's stuck on "sending public key request" for some reason. I'll try again.

eidt: now they both say "waiting for their encryption key".

I'd like to use this but getting (some of) my friends/family to is another matter. Will download and have a look though. Thanks

Bitmessage, privacy and Cryptocurrencies walk together: for us, cryptocurrencies users, it's something natural, but for the people who are still out of these novelties, it's something "weird and complicated"

This is true. I have shown Bitcoin to many of my colleagues and they think it is really complex or difficult to understand. I aim for personal privacy, but everyone around me comes back with the same responce; "What?"

I have an Aussie friend who hadn't heard about the NSA. Be lived in the same country a year ahead of the news being realeased, and stayed through it, but not once did he actually hear about it.

I have been introducing Bitmessage to all my friends (and even clients) but only a few has shown any interest at all for it... but, guess what, I've also introduced bitcoin to all of them, and it has been the same... Bitmessage, privacy and Cryptocurrencies walk together: for us, cryptocurrencies users, it's something natural, but for the people who are still out of these novelties, it's something "weird and complicated"

regular people don't have any use of bitmessage, what would they need secrecy for?
who would they talk to as none of their friends (except you I guess Cheesy

) are using bitmessage

I disagree; most people value privacy. It's why we put curtains on our windows.

Very true. Privacy is a human necessity. And it is very convenient for Google inc. USA inc. Bankers inc. etc that this false idea that "only criminals need privacy" is dominant.

The fact is that people have been conditioned to give up their privacy and become online exibitionists.

And here we are now in an Orwellian world, where people simply hand their rights away on a plate. Rights that, to be conquered, once have demanded the fight and the lives of many of our past heroes.

I guess one mans privacy is another mans secrecy.. conditioned indeed. I only hope with enough exposure and education, more people will begin to wake up and see what they have lost.

I have now sent a successful test message. I'll do my best to sell this to my friends.

Yes that sounds about right. Many of the people I know just don't see any point in using encryption for messaging and probably think of me as a paranoid nut (I may well be, but that's irrelevant) Grin

I do think things are changing though as it's becoming increasingly obvious that online privacy without a little effort is a delusion.

I have installed bitmessage and sent a test message, but it is stuck on "waiting for their encryption key" for the last few minutes.

Keep up the good work!
