What i don't see (maybe haven't looked hard enough) are another security review/s.

Until bitmessage is thoroughly reviewed by serious people ,and results are displayed in a prominent place, it would be hard to trust.

The dev team would love if you know someone with expertise and a bit of time to spare. We make no claims of perfection or even safety at this point.

From the homepage: Bitmessage is in need of an independent audit to verify its security.

I believe that they need to link to the security review i linked , not hide it in forums.

There was also someone who deanonimized bitmessage. They should link this too in a prominent place.

If they solved any of those problems , they should link to solutions and a possible review.

There was also someone who deanonymized some bitmessage users' disposable identities: those who copy-pasted a link (that the client prevented them from clicking on) to a website they'd never visited before from a random user with whom they'd never communicated into a web browser that did not use any anonymizing method.

FTFY
