Java Implementation and Example Client for the BitMessage Protocol.

I created this project out of personal interest in how the BitMessage protocol works. If it becomes useful, feel free to use it in your own project. If not, oh well, I wasn't expecting much.

Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs.
