PyBitmessage VS nicotine-plus

Not a cryptocurrency or "blockchain", but in Bitmessage it costs small amounts of proof-of-work to send emails, and it works well to prevent spam.

PyBitmessage | Windows, Linux: - https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage)

I submitted the problem and solution to the pybitmessage github and in less than two weeks bitmessage's author allowed an approved user to merge the changes I proposed.

Can you try g1itch's builds as described here: https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage/issues/1919

bitmessage.ch, a website that provided email hosting and a bitmessage frontend, has been discontinued. It's unrelated to PyBitmessage, the reference implementation of Bitmessage, which is still very much under active development. As you can see on https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage, the development is still going on and even sped up recently as I'm trying to get better as a project lead. There hasn't been an official release for several years, mainly due to difficulties in getting binaries for Windows and Mac OS built and tested under the more strict development process that we have now. If you know people with devops experience in Windows and MacOS, I'd be helpful for assistance.

More like 3, and the devs sometimes post test builds, but indeed Bitmessage needs some love.

$ git clone https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage

Have a look at session and MuWire for privacy. Also Bitmessage but it should be compiled since last release was 2018.

You better download and use Nicotine+, it's a frequently updated client for the soulseek platform.

The next version of Nicotine+ will turn the bitrate column into a quality column that shows the actual audio attributes provided. https://github.com/nicotine-plus/nicotine-plus/pull/2564

Completely agree. try this https://nicotine-plus.org

As has been said, K/s is an indication of transfer speed, and the default SLSK client does not keep track of transferred data for you. However, as there's never a bad time for a Nicotine+ plug, that does keep such stats, both for session and total transfer.

I don't know about Ventura, but why not give Nicotine+ a go. :)

Try out Nicotine+

Please be careful, there are some fake versions of the slsk client out there and they are confirmed malware. The official Soulseek website is http://www.slsknet.org/. There was a previous domain, but Nir (slsk's founder) lost control of it many years ago. I suggest you download a version of the client from this page or better yet download a copy of the third party client Nicotine+. N+ is updated far more regularly than the official slsk client (now 2+ years out of date), is less resource intensive and has better features.

The Nicotine+ repository has the most up to date protocol documentation here. This was originally documented in a couple of places but hadn't been updated in a long time.
