Unofficial PyBitmessage port to run with Python3 and PyQt5
from https://www.reddit.com/r/bitmessage/comments/1d5ff18/unofficial_pybitmessage_port_to_run_with_python3/ Unofficial PyBitmessage port to run with Python3 and PyQt5 The official PyBitmessage still runs with outdated Python2 and PyQt4. Recently, I'm trying to port PyBitmessage to run with Python3 and PyQt5. Although it's unofficial version and still should have some bugs, it seems now running as expected as long as I use it. I use PyBitmessage mostly for communications on chans. One-to-one messaging is not tested well since I have no friends at all. The source code is published at GutHub: https://github.com/kashikoibumi/PyBitmessage . The default branch 'py3qt' is most matured among other many branches. If you try to use it, at first backup your PyBitmessage databases and settings which are found $HOME/.config/PyBitmessage/ if you are using Linux. Any bug reports or comments are welcome. I'm using it on Devuan GNU+Linux Daedalus which is mostly compatible to Debian GNU/Linux bookworm except systemd utilizations. All dependencies are installed from Devuan (Debian) packages. ─┏┓──┏━━┓───┏━━┓──Spooky Mart Channel ─┗━━┓─┃──┗┓─┃───┗┓─┃──[chan] 711 ┃─┃──┏┛─┗┓──┏┛─┗┓─always open | stay spooky ┗━┛──┗━━━┛──┗━━━┛─https://bitmessage.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
PyBitmessage is not dead. Ignore the FUD.
from [chan] bitmessage PyBitmessage is not dead. Ignore the FUD. I think Peter and gang just got tired of responding to this recurring claim. I wouldn't even expect a rebuttal from them at this point. Newer forks have been under development, one in Python3 and one in Rust. Here is the PyBitmessage fork in Python3: https://github.com/kashikoibumi/PyBitmessage Somebody should help the maintainer. I am no longer a Pythonista or I would. I dumped Python after the 2.7 sunset as I expect they will likely break Py3 equally bad some day. I will be occasionally reviewing Koibumi's bash scripts, build scripts and documentation looking for errors or points of improvement. ─┏┓──┏━━┓───┏━━┓──Spooky Mart Channel ─┗━━┓─┃──┗┓─┃───┗┓─┃──[chan] 711 ┃─┃──┏┛─┗┓──┏┛─┗┓─always open | stay spooky ┗━┛──┗━━━┛──┗━━━┛─https://bitmessage.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Python3 Fork of BMWrapper
from https://github.com/kashikoibumi/bmwrapper bmwrapper is a poorly hacked together python script to let Thunderbird and PyBitmessage communicate, similar to AyrA's (generally much better) application: Bitmessage2Mail. I'm on Linux, and don't feel like dealing with wine. So I wrote this to fill the same role as B2M, until the source code was released. (Which has since been open-sourced: https://github.com/AyrA/BitMailServer) The script (usually) parses outgoing messages to strip the ugly email header information and put quoted text in PyBitmessage’s '---’ delimited form. Attached images are included, base64 encoded, in an img tag. Incoming messages are likewise parsed to reconstruct a email, with attachment. This works...most of the time, and I’ve tried to make it fail gracefully when something goes wrong. ─┏┓──┏━━┓───┏━━┓──Spooky Mart Channel ─┗━━┓─┃──┗┓─┃───┗┓─┃──[chan] 711 ┃─┃──┏┛─┗┓──┏┛─┗┓─always open | stay spooky ┗━┛──┗━━━┛──┗━━━┛─https://bitmessage.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
BitChan (python project)
from https://github.com/813492291816/BitChan BitChan is a decentralized anonymous imageboard inspired by BitBoard and built on top of Bitmessage with Tor, I2P, and GnuPG. BitChan solves a number of security and free speech problems that have plagued most imageboards. Centralized imageboards can be taken offline or hijacked and can leak user data. BitChan reduces the likelihood of this by being decentralized, allowing each user to host their own instance of the software, requiring all connections to go through Tor/I2P, and not requiring JavaScript. Users of centralized forums often have to deal with overzealous moderators and sometimes even pressure from state powers that tend to suffocate the forum's culture. BitChan's moderation is multifaceted, but to be brief, the option exists to create entirely unmoderatable boards to post content on. Due to its decentralized design, BitChan cannot be moderated by its developers, the government, or any other entity. Indeed, there is no way to disconnect BitChan from the internet, and as long as people are still running Bitmessage, BitChan is completely untouchable. ─┏┓──┏━━┓───┏━━┓──Spooky Mart Channel ─┗━━┓─┃──┗┓─┃───┗┓─┃──[chan] 711 ┃─┃──┏┛─┗┓──┏┛─┗┓─always open | stay spooky ┗━┛──┗━━━┛──┗━━━┛─https://bitmessage.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
