    PyBitmessage is not dead. Ignore the FUD.

    I think Peter and gang just got tired of responding to this recurring
    claim. I wouldn't even expect a rebuttal from them at this point.

    Newer forks have been under development, one in Python3 and one in Rust.

    Here is the PyBitmessage fork in Python3:

    https://github.com/kashikoibumi/PyBitmessage

    Somebody should help the maintainer. I am no longer a Pythonista or I
    would. I dumped Python after the 2.7 sunset as I expect they will
    likely break Py3 equally bad some day. I will be occasionally reviewing Koibumi's bash scripts, build scripts and documentation looking for
    errors or points of improvement.

    Interesting. I thought it was dead. Nice to see some development and a
    nice compiled rust executable sounds like a good thing too!

    Governments and cops are all pathological liars. There is a very good
    chance that they are continuously trying to discourage people from
    using Bitmessage because of its resilience to breaking. This can be
    somewhat proven because of their saying then it is dead, when it is not.

    When the old tor program that allowed you to use more than 3 nodes to
    send a message was around, there were continuously messages saying that
    it was not as secure as just using 3 nodes. That is not logical.

    It may help with looking "not dead" to have a changelog that has
    actually changed within the last 8 years?
