A comment on Telehash protocol.

How does this compare to something like BitMessage? I think this does not provide anonymity in terms of IP cloaking and I don't see any kind of spam protection.

It's completely different to BitMessage. As far as I can tell this is not a personal messaging protocol, but an IP replacement.

Correct -- Telehash provides a basic communications layer, and is not an application, nor does it directly provide anonymity. The intention is to solve one specific problem, and solve it well. All sorts of applications could be built on top of Telehash to provide things like messaging or anonymity.
