About

Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that users do not need to inherently trust entities like root certificate authorities. This free and open-source software offers key features such as encrypted chat and a mechanism for users to suggest and vote on new features. It is available across multiple platforms including Mac, Windows, Linux, and BSD. The project's development is managed via its GitHub repository (https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage), and it maintains a presence on Twitter (https://twitter.com/alternativeto). Details regarding its founding history, leadership, revenue, employee count, or specific market position are not provided in the available data.
