Anonymous communication through Bitmessage

For anonymous communication Bitmessage is currently the most anonymous method.

Email requires centralized control and servers to store and send the messages out. On the other hand, Bitmessage operates on similar principles to that of Bitcoin in that every user is sent every message on the network(similar to the public block-chain). Each message is encrypted with the recipient address's public key, so even though every user has a copy of the encrypted message only the intended recipient can read it. Since every user is receiving every single message then it becomes extremely difficult to determine the actual intended recipient without having direct access to their computer already. Below you will find a tutorial for using Bitmessage

Using Bitmessage

Step 1:

To start using bitmessage, download it directly from the Bitmessage website here. Save the Bitmessage program on your computer and launch it

Step 2:

In the window that comes up, go to the "Your Identities" tab and click "New"

Step 3:

The window that opens up will request some information. I suggest checking the "Use a random number generator to make an address" box and give your address a label. Addresses are dozens of characters long, and trying to remember each one's purpose can get very tedious is use multiple. After you input everything, click okay.

Step 4:

Your new Bitmessage address will appear in the "Your identities" tab, and you are ready to send and receive messages. If you are unsure if you set up your client correctly you can create your own chan to message yourself from to confirm.

Creating a Chan with Bitmessage

Step 1:

A Chan in the context of Bitmessage, is a mailing list in which every user who is given the chan name is capable of making posts to and on behalf of the chan. Making it a kind of shared message board. To create one, go to the "File" menu in Bitmessage and select the option "Join / Create chan"

Step 2:

Check the "Create a new chan" box, type in a name for your chan, then click "OK"

Step 3:

Click OK on the dialog window that pops up.

Step 4:

Go to the "Your Identities" tab, right click on the chan you just created, and select "Copy address to clipboard."

Step 5:

Go to the "Send" tab, paste the address you just copied into the "To:" field, type a message, and change the "From" field to whichever of your addresses you would like to send from.

Step 6:

You will be taken to your "Sent" tab when the status of the message will be "Doing work necessary to send message." Once the work is completed, you will receive the message.

Step 7:

The message is now in your inbox. Congratulations.

Reverse Trolling BitMessage

BitMessage is a newish, decentralized communications protocol. Think peer-to-peer email. There are no central servers relaying messages. Everything is done by peers.

My problem with those sorts of comments is not so much that they might be offensive to certain people. This is the internet, after all, and by now everyone should have very thick skin. My problem is that they stifle real discussion. You can't have a 4 message exchange without it being derailed by some idiot who is hung-up on sexuality, race, etc.

Having seen enough of that, I decided to do something about it. I can't silence the trolls (nor do I even want to), but I can let them and everyone else know that not everyone on BitMessage is a hateful troll, and try to raise the level of discourse. I posted the following in the General chan:

Greetings, Bitmessengers.

This message is for everyone, but especially people of color, LGBTQ people, women, or anyone else who feels excluded because of who you are:

Don't let the racist, sexist, hateful people on BitMessage fool you into thinking you have no allies here. You do. I am one, and there are others.

- l0fi

Nothing works these trolls up more than unequivocal rejections of their bullshit. My message was immediately met with bile like the following:

How does it feel to be a cultural marxist drone and big brother mind slave, faggot?

WTF? Then a bizarre back-and-forth where these homophobes got to fulfill their dream of roleplaying gay Batman and Robin:

Holy shit, gay Batman!

Robin, get your dick out of my ass.

Yes Batman, just wait a little, ahhh! aahhh! aaahhh! Nice, now it is your turn, don't be too rough you tough gay.

Quick Robin, to the butt cave.

No repressed sexuality issues there, amirite? Then some great bits about how my message was stifling straight white men:

You guys are just plain meanies and so straight and caucasian too.

Maybe the problem is that we haven't made fun of the right people for -l0fi.

Just to keep things fair, from now on I am only going to make fun of straight, caucasian, men.

Yes, straight white men: The victims of past and present. Ha!

All in all, I'd say this was an extremely successful reverse-trolling mission. The trolls took the bait hard, and it looks like my message really got under their skin.

I plan on regularly posting anti-hate messages and trying to enlist other anarchists to do the same. (Or at least to use BitMessage to talk about anything at all without calling each other fags constantly. I feel like I'm back in high scool with this shit).

Interested in helping?

Make sure you have Tor installed.

Install BitMessage. Inbox me if you need help.

Configure BitMessage to use Tor. Again, I can help.

Once you're up and running, send me a BitMessage at: BM-2cTBVrBZqG8u2gfWvtFt7dEcM3umNtGAic
