It would be fairly simple to write a server-client implementing competitive
message routing for a text based message pool. I could probably do it in a
couple weeks. But then comes the hard part. In order for it to be useful
you need a large user base, otherwise nobody will use it. Google couldn't
get over this hurdle when they tried to make a competitor with Facebook.

It also wouldn't scale with crypto currency. CMR requires that messages be
compressible. Messages are routed to peers with semantically related
content as measured by compression. Bitcoin messages are not like that.
They have the form "X pays $Y to Z at time T". X and Z are public keys that
look statistically random, so you end up sending every message to every
peer because all peers are equally close to it.
