Introduction
This page describes a proposal for a way to make Bitmessage scalable.
NOTE: This proposal is not yet complete, as some aspects of proposed system are not yet resolved. Suggestions and contributions are welcome.
Summary of the proposal
- Each Bitmessage address has a 'prefix' and a 'prefix length'. These values determine the balance between anonymity and efficiency that the owner of the address will have when receiving messages.
- Each node in the Bitmessage network has a 'prefix' and a 'prefix length'. These values determine what part of the total network traffic the node will handle.
