#192I appreciate the cheekiness of calling it the "Dark Mail Alliance", but from a purely PR perspective, it would make sense to reconsider your name if you are taking the position that encrypted end-to-end email is not solely an interest of those pursuing shady or deviant activities.
why not just 'private mail'. tell them what it is on the tin
pmail then?

#193This is very good news. An interesting not here: In Norway the official postal service, Posten, has introduced something called DigiPost. Post means mail, so DigiMail. This is essential a secure way of sending information and it is approved by the Norwegian government for sending and receiving sensitive information. So you can ask to get your sensitive government stuff through DigiPost. My point being: There is alrea…
"An interesting not here: In Norway the official postal service, Posten, has introduced something called DigiPost." "This is essential a secure way of sending information and it is approved by the Norwegian government for sending and receiving sensitive information."
"There is already a big market for sending secure emails."
So there are already working solutions for the problem. I wonder - does it really have to be created some new group of "privacy innovators [that] have [to be] partnered to lead the charge to replace email as we know it today"? A descriptive alliance to measure the adherence to a new solution may be a useful thing, but some new group to reinvent some existing solution is just political in my view.

Bitmessage doesn't scale, it's POW doesn't solve any spam problems, and it's largely insecure. There's been quite a lot of public discussion about just how hilariously insecure it is.

Here's the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmessage

My interpretation of "dark" is that "you can't see the inside"

#197This is awesome, but will it be open sourced so that everyone can inspect the code and verify its sanctity?

I totally agree, I really think you should change the name. Some suggestions: - Locke Mail [from John Locke] - Mill Mail [from John Stuart Mill] - Hobbes Mail - Liberty Mail
I suggest names that don't have limited country/cultural references if the intent is to make this a global success. Some other suggestions: -SecMail (Secure Email) -PrivMail (private/privacy email) -FMail (freedom email) -NetMail (New Internet standard email) And thank you for taking this on, it is seriously needed. And please, no reliance on CA certs, chances are the NSA has compromised at least some of those.
PMail rhymes with EMail and shortens from PrivMail... perhaps more punchy? It seems to roll off the tongue easier...
