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

Compile:

Linux:

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

# create the mysql - db if used:

$> BitMRC/etc/create_db.sh

# make

install packages :

Windows (Visual Studio):

open command prompt

git submodule init
git submodule update

then compile with visual studio and convert if necessary

Documentation

See Documentation/Manual for paper documentation (work-in-progress). To compile the manual use "pdflatex BitMRC.tex"

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
