Full-disclosure – Administrivia: The End

Re:Full-disclosure – Administrivia: The End by sounds on Wednesday March 19, 2014 @10:06AM (#7428664)

I floated the idea on bitcointalk.org of a fully anonymous distributed message board that used small bitcoin payments as the cost to post messages ... possibly softened by having a newbie/spam forum where "free" posts are possible but don't get much attention.

It didn't get much traction. (I can understand why bitcointalk.org is staying where they are. It was when theymos was openly asking what to do with all the donated BTC.)

I would, however, be happy to join a public github repo if there's serious interest.

Something like this? http://www.btcmessenger.com/?page=send just filter it for spam like we do with normal email, maybe an application anyone can run instead of a website that can be taken down.

Also, is there a provable way to generate a public bitcoin address without learning the private key? As a way to keep it fair.

To what you said: yes. Except to not store the messages in the blockchain, which removes the need to generate a bitcoin address.

However, there are some implementation issues that need to be resolved, e.g. on github.
