Feel free to propose a secure, decentralized way to pass the payload between the endpoints. Be sure your solution includes an effective mechanism to mitigate spam. Bonus if your solution denies attackers access to the same metadata centralized systems do. Double bonus if you can support push messaging systems to deliver timely notification that users have come to expect.

Home servers connected over I2P, hopefully.
I'm not trying to propose a "way" of anything, "secure", "decentralised" or otherwise! Don't you get it? I'm talking about the documentation.
I have no idea if this solution to the problems posed is sound because before I can even get to the source code there is no description of how or even whether it solves the fundamental problems in the cryptographic situation it describes (viz. device which cannot straightaway engage in IP communication requires to receive unsolicitated securely-encrypted messages).

Please elaborate and clarify.
