>>3167 Tor is simply an additional layer of obfuscation. Assuming tor is completely compromised by LEAs, it wouldn't matter because nothing being passed over tor can be used to deanonymize the user. Before being sent, all messages are pgp encrypted before being encrypted again by BitMessage. BM doesn't send any user information in the messages anyway. No one can discern who sent what and for who. As I understand it I2p support will be added later. >>3165 Feds haven't been able to prosecute anyone who used BitMessage for perpetrating a crime.

>>3169 Feds haven't been able to prosecute anyone who used BitMessage for perpetrating a crime. BM is battle tested. This should be clarified. People who have used BM to assist in crimes, such as sales and shipping of illicit goods, have been prosecuted. One case is that of Jones (https://www.justice.gov/usao-mdfl/pr/texas-resident-charged-illegally-selling-controlled-substances-silk-road-bitmessage, https://www.justice.gov/usao/flm/press/2014/May/20140530_Jones_Complaint.pdf). However, this case was actually prosecuted due to the use of physical mailboxes and tracking through USPS. Jones was only verified as a BM user during the subsequent investigation. BM did not provide the information (through leaking etc.) to allow the prosecution to get off the ground. What is of note is that no successful ransomware attacks which involved the transfer of crypto have resulted in a prosecution. This is what is meant by 'battle tested'.

https://github.com/813492291816/BitChan/releases/tag/v0.11.1 Bug fix - fix creating posts with attachments greater than 5 MB

looks neat

A kiosk onion hidden service is now online. You can post and upload attachments. Test it out if you'd like. There's a bug report link at the bottom of the home page. http://bitchan5zleliwr7egmn4yskth5k6ofu6qbax3y4t45k3k2plt363nad.onion In kiosk mode you can only post anonymously. There's a help page which covers pretty much everything except for the peculiarities having to do with the kisok. If you actually go through the trouble (it's not that bad) of installing it you can very easily host your own kiosk instance (and if you run you're own version you get full functionality). Kiosk mode has a permissions system which allows for multiple passwords. There are password classes. Admins, guests, guests who can only view, guests who can post. There's a lot of options. How to safely host a kiosk: Pay for VPS via mixed/tumbled crypto, sftp bitchan.tar.gz over tor, ssh in over tor, extract bitchan, uncomment random hidden service lines in torrc, make daemon, load random onion address in tor browser, upload archive with custom onion address, and you're set. This kiosk instance has a 50 second post refractory period. It works with JS disabled. The kiosk disallows board and list creation, mailbox use and prevents using BM as an attachment upload method. The only things this kiosk instance allows is 1) view boards, 2) view threads (steg included), 3) make posts, and 4) submit bug reports.
