Dpush: A scalable decentralized spam resistant unsolicited messaging protocol

TL;DR

Dpush is a novel, scalable, and spam-resistant messaging protocol that ensures private, encrypted, and uncensorable communication using a combination of DHT and proof of work, with practical implementation in MORPHiS.

Contribution

The paper introduces Dpush, a new protocol combining DHT and proof of work to enable scalable, spam-resistant, and private messaging, and provides a working implementation in MORPHiS.

Findings

Successfully implemented in MORPHiS

Operates without receiver being online

Resistant to Sybil attacks

Abstract

Herein this paper is presented a novel invention - called Dpush - that enables truly scalable spam resistant uncensorable automatically encrypted and inherently authenticated messaging; thus restoring our ability to exert our right to private communication, and thus a step forward in restoring an uncorrupted democracy. Using a novel combination of a distributed hash table[1] (DHT) and a proof of work[2] (POW), combined in a way that can only be called a synergy, the emergent property of a scalable and spam resistant unsolicited messaging protocol elegantly emerges. Notable is that the receiver does not need to be online at the time the message is sent. This invention is already implemented and operating within the package that is called MORPHiS - which is a Sybil[3] resistant enhanced Kademlia[1] DHT implementation combined with an already functioning implementation of Dpush, as well as a polished HTTP Dmail interface to send and receive such messages today. MORPHiS is available for free (GPLv2) at the https://morph.is website.
