    Why would you want to store messages, even encrypted ones, on a publicly accessible distributed database with no delete function?

    Bitmessage was created well before the concept of post quantum encryption was widely discussed, so it is not safe for that use case.

        Correct, and that is bad. Very bad. The fact that in BitMessage, “every message gets sent to everyone” is something nobody wants or asked for.

        Seems self-evident to me why the protocol has been languishing and mostly ignored for the past decade or so.
