BitMRC

A simple bitmessage client implementation written in c++

It uses crypto++ for cryptography so i included the submodule.

For discussion we have a bitmessage chan:

Name: BitMRC-Development-Talk

Address: BM-2cVxGMPpzu1WwnpUwAvcy9aQpuS9deouky

Compile:
Linux:
# cmake . -DENABLE_TESTS
(if you want the tests to be compiled)
# cmake . #
(otherwise)

# make

install packages :

Windows (Visual Studio):

open command prompt

git submodule init
git submodule update

then compile with visual studio and convert if necessary

Functionality:

At this stage it can:

  • Read/send messages.
  • Read/send broadcasts.
  • Read/send pubkeys.
  • Save/load private addresses.
  • Save/load blocks.
  • Generate random addresses.
  • Generate deterministic addresses.
  • Connect to nodes.
  • Accept all the packets type.
  • Decrypt/encrypt and sign everything
  • Calculate pow.
  • It does propagate inventory elements
  • There is a random delay when propagating inv different from node to node (0.1 to 2.1 sec) this should prevent some minor attacks

But it cannot:

  • use a different elliptic curve different from 0x02CA (714).
  • It doesn't read/decrypt the messages already in the invenctory.
  • Can handle only v4 address and pubkey
  • It only resend ack but it does not use it
  • It doesn't support ipv6
