Peer-to-peer decentralized email system.
I recently read an interesting article on this topic. I would like to discuss more with you shortly regarding the need for decentralization and the next step in Satoshi's legacy.
This service is definitely possible and has the ability to not only limit unauthorized access to your mailbox but also get rid of targeted emails and spam. Greater control of your data and a golden, reliable email that can execute smart contracts.
I will not use the same Nick or account.
Thank you and see you later.
Some questions from you.
Precisely, as I said, I'm working on this project, which is in every way embryonic, that is, although there is a horizon it is still somewhat blurred.
1) Does this system use blockchain? No, the system does not use blockchain for a number of factors that are quite obvious, but include size, speed and load. But it uses a seeded block system.
2) Why use that, it's not the same as self-hosted email? No, they are obviously different things, while self-hosted email makes you the owner of an email hosted by you, but still being subject to government sanctions and with problems regarding centralization, the proposal uses the opposite concept, preventing centralization and distributing responsibility across the network, that is, even if sanctions are intended, they will not be directed at you. And this is also a reason to use it.
3) Will it be paid? No, although I thought about a bitcoin-based monetization system, for those who allocate more data and make more upload available on the network, it's still something that needs to be discussed, of course the incentives for the biggest node maintainers are really important to the life of the project.
4) How is it secure and anonymous with data transiting a network of nodes?
It basically uses a public and private key hashing and cryptography system. In a simple way, when you type your email in the client layer (application) it performs the hash treatment, therefore, when it arrives at the destination, it is only displayed that a given hash sent encrypted bytes to another hash, even you, if you want to get a response you need to include your email in the body of the message otherwise you will be anonymous.
Example:
[[email protected]] --> Hash function --> [b1a64fcd7d3f97a0836e9cbcde0c7e7248b405a30bc02ba0350980789e918107]
Txt:[U2FsdGVkX19Rcwubs10541HUZIGJZvKaD7pdTOELTYCQ1aOzZvmk6vm2G4f3YdkS]
To: [[email protected]] --> hash function -->
[3bf80ffa4aa11c5292556c4d03a322873d8d757a887069e40ef71a556b26374e]
I hope you understand.
5) Who was it designed for? For all those who want to be able to send and receive emails in a decentralized way without having to rely on large platforms. For those who understand and believe that anonymity and privacy are not bad things or cybercriminals, but those who want to preserve their well-being and freedom.
6) What are the real problems with the system so far?
Allocation, when you send a text or it is quantified and saved, usually text without emojis or with special characters, they tend to have little bytes when they do not exceed a limit, the problem is when millions or billions of people transit information on the network even if in bytes . That is, if a significant number of users are sending a significant number of bytes, it is likely that in a short time, your system will reach a number close to terabytes of information, something that started with small bytes. And this problem tends to increase if nothing is done, this is one of the problems that Satoshi solved in the infinity tail of the blockchain.
So the pruning of some blocks in the system I'm proposing is something I'm looking into.
I hope that any of your queries have been answered. I'm going to work on this system and when I have something more solid I'll start a new discussion with more information about the project. Maybe I should really create a forum just for this.
Those who want more information or are interested in being part of this project, please contact me.
