You can now share this torrent file using the base64 method described above, or you can use the following script to convert it into a magnet ( source blogpost): To use this method, first create the torrent with all the files you wish to share using your favorite torrent application.

You need not list the torrent on a public torrent site for this to work. You can send the passphrase used to encrypt the file over bitmessage.Īn extreme method, especially if you wish to wish larger files, is to create a magnet link or a torrent file and use that to share your data. Of course, if the file contains anything sensitive, it may be a good idea to use PGP or some other program to encrypt your file. Hence it is advised to upload your file to a cloud-based storage provider (ala dropbox or box) and send the link over using bitmessage. This method, however, is neither in the interests of bitmessage (as it increases the length of the message unnaturally) nor is it very elegant. The concatenated text can be copied to a text file by the recipient and the following command can be used to reconvert the file back to its original state:

Alternatively, 3 more options are available: One is to convert your files using base64 and concatenating them to the end of your bitmessage itself. jar (texts readable in GUI in lowest jar-compression setting)) and pictures (from local files or weblinks via clipboard). This is an echo server and will send your message back to you if you have configured everything correctly.Īttachments are not possible for the moment in mainline bitmessage, but the wiki offers links to API tools which allow to send binaries (.zip. To test if bitmessage is working properly for you or not, you can send a test message to BM-orkCbppXWSqPpAxnz6jnfTZ2djb5pJKDb. The addresses you have are, however, in Bitmessage format. Using bitmessage is the same as using an email client.

Next to Server hostname enter 'localhost' and next to Port enter '9050' (If using the Tor browser bundle enter '9150').

Navigate to Settings > Network Settings and select SOCKS5 from the Type drop down under the Proxy server / Tor section.

The same steps apply as above, except that you would need to do the following (ideally before you set up your first identity): These will be useful if you need to re-make your address for any reason (Currently the default address version is 4 and stream number 1 will be fine)

Remember the address version number and the stream number.

A random number is better for security and a passphrase is better for convenience (you can recreate your identity more easily with a passphrase than with a random number) You can use either a passphrase or a random number as the basis for the generation of your address.

#Bitmessage ch free#

Since bitmessage is built to be used with different (ideally disposable) addresses, feel free to create more than one address (for instance this user created four addresses)

Hit the New button and create a few new addresses.

#Bitmessage ch install#

For using the given python script to create magnet links, install the package python2-bencode AUR.Īfter launching bitmessage (the name of the bitmessage main python2 script is pybitmessage) for the first time, disregard any popups and: In order to use it with Tor, install tor from the official repositories. Install pybitmessage AUR or pybitmessage-git AURfrom the AUR.
