Yes! an actual Blockchain Mail App 💚
Send and receive emails over blockchain
- First of all, YOU are in control. No one can restrict your access in any way.
- Finally no spam. Because sending emails through Blockchain costs a fee.
- Secure by default. Blockchain is secure by default.
- It is always there. Your email is always there. no one can delete them nor change them
- YOU can only read them. cryptography technology in Blockchain make sure you are the only reader of your mails
It is a fun project, to demonstrate how blockchain email could look like. It is a simple app that allows you to send and receive emails over Blockchain.
EOB is on top of the LBRY
protocol. However It is not the best fit for such a service, but it is good enough.
Feel free to contribute 😀
EOB
works with the LBRY
blockchain.
Sending an email is creating a transaction in the blockchain, this transaction contains email metadata.
So you keep the mail metadata in the blockchain and the mail itself in somewhere like IPFS
.
Each LBRY
channel is an account here. You can send and receive emails to/from channels.
lbrynet
: you can runlbrynet
by running theLBRY
desktop application.
git clone https://github.com/mlibre/email-on-blockchain.git
cd email-on-blockchain
npm i
npm install --dev-only
Make sure lbrynet
is running.
lbrynet start
Then run the app.
npm start
- Mails on lbry protocols are not encrypted yet!
- If the sender of the mail abandon the claim, metadata will be lost
