<copy+paste> from [chan] bitmessage

PyBitmessage is not dead. Ignore the FUD.

I think Peter and gang just got tired of responding to this recurring
claim. I wouldn't even expect a rebuttal from them at this point.

Newer forks have been under development, one in Python3 and one in Rust.

Here is the PyBitmessage fork in Python3:

https://github.com/kashikoibumi/PyBitmessage

Somebody should help the maintainer. I am no longer a Pythonista or I
would. I dumped Python after the 2.7 sunset as I expect they will
likely break Py3 equally bad some day. I will be occasionally reviewing
Koibumi's bash scripts, build scripts and documentation looking for
errors or points of improvement.

Greetings!

I am interested in adding support for Bitmessage to Slixfeed news bot.

Support is currently provided to XMPP and it will be extended to Email,
IRC and Session.

https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Slixfeed

Governments and cops are all pathological liars. There is a very good
chance that they are continuously trying to discourage people from
using Bitmessage because of its resilience to breaking. This can be
somewhat proven because of their saying then it is dead, when it is not.

When the old tor program that allowed you to use more than 3 nodes to
send a message was around, there were continuously messages saying that
it was not as secure as just using 3 nodes. That is not logical.

The Tor binary compiled for OmniMix supports circuits of up to 9 nodes.
You just have to add a RouteLength parameter to your torrc file.

It may help with looking "not dead" to have a changelog that has
actually changed within the last 8 years?
