[Cryptography] BitMessage?

[Russ Nelson]

I haven't seen any discussion of BitMessage (http://bitmessage.org)
here yet. The idea is to be a mixer with a pool of recipients, which
currently seems to be 12,000ish. Before anybody will receive your
message, they need to see a proof of work. Once they do, they forward
the message to everyone else, using a flood-fill algorithm. Messages
are encrypted so only the recipient can decode them. Mailing lists are
simulated via a shared private key.

It looks plausible. Not obviously snake oil.
