Seems to still work for me. Also, probably won't be an issue for this specific project, since OpenTransactions can have its own bitmessage stream separate from the rest of BitMessage (like a separate fork of bitcoin)

I have been playing around with Bitmessage. It looks like it doesn't work well. Messages I sent out a few days ago still aren't received. Didn't have much important to say, but still it kind of sucks.
I was noticing from what I read, Bitmessage is relying on PoW. And right now just one spammer with probably just a few computers is bringing it down. I am sad to imagine what an Asic built just to take down Bitmessage could do, if that is even possible.

So who is trolling, as you always do.
For someone who's only been around for two weeks, you have remarkably strong opinions about what's going on.Your nemesis AnonyMint wasn't around for 2 weeks.

Why isn't that enough to solve this problem?
It is. (once it's actually implemented)Someone's just FUDing.
If you actually READ (as in RTFM) the thread, such a grouping or streams solution is not simple as you might naively assume. And probably why it is not implemented.

Anyone who is actually a programmer knows the "devil is in the details". So these idiots who make proclamations based on some general rumor or conceptual idea, can't hold a candle to someone who is actually down in the trenches implementing this stuff and thus speaks from a deeper understanding of the issues involved.
For the meantime, Bitmessage is dead. And bringing it back to life isn't going to be trivial.
So who is trolling, as you always do.
Anyone still paying attention to this "Legendary" idiot deserves the misinformation he spews.

I've only skimmed the linked thread, but I thought BM had a sharding mechanism of some sort (streams? channels?) to prevent this problem. Why isn't that enough to solve this problem?

Damn. That's sad

Very interesting. Good to know!

bitmessage is just another shining example of what can be accomplished with blockchain technology. Bitcoin itself was just the tip of the iceberg.

BitMessage is anonymous but NOT secure. Add a layer of crypto to your messages and you may have a chance.
Can you elaborate?Here I am brought into this all under the idea that everything I do can be foxy.. Do you see me?

glad to know things are still progressing fine (just a pity we haven't been able to follow the progress through CIYAM Open).
I will keep the project active.

Pretty cool. What future plans do you have with it?
A dedicated 'instance' as a tor hidden service would force anonymous readers too. The ability to publicly respond (through bitmessage) would be interesting too (or at least link-backs)

It's just starting level of tech that can be improved upon by others. If i understand it correctly, it's wonderful thing that can go really long way in the future and opens up bunch of possibilities.
if you crypto all your messages it defeats the whole concept of immortality. see. if you encrypt the word of G-d. things get funny. like people going to jails for weed..

Pls just leave the project on CIYAM for now, and soon I will get in there and update the CIYAM page. Lots of the sub-bounties can be closed and paid out, and I will slip in new addresses for the bounties that remain, so the funds can be visible again. Lots of progress going on lately!
Okay - glad to know things are still progressing fine (just a pity we haven't been able to follow the progress through CIYAM Open).

I am following the project on Github, Fellowtraveler and several others are active. I see multiple submissions every single day or at-least a week to the OT Project. Best way I know you can follow the developments of this project.
