Hi Martin, I think people shouldn't use GNUnet when looking for privacy critical information exchange. GNUnet is mostly designed for utilizing decentralized network structure to build services and applications on top. The core aspect is not focused on privacy but on availability. There are still

Hi Jacki, Thanks for your quick response. I wanted to clarify the goals and scope of my project to help discussion. My goal is to have a fully decentralized and private email system, while also aiming to introduce non-technical users to GNUnet. Eventually, I want to build a system that can operat

Hi Martin, the GNUnet messenger service technically allows receiving messages afterwards already. Nodes in a groupchat or direct chat can request missed messages from each other. I agree that it makes more sense to deliver messages via a mailbox in the DHT in some cases. Maybe that ability could
