    I made a bit of a cypherpunk experiment - PHP textboard forum script that
    uses PGP for authorization of posting messages (messages must be PGP
    signed to pass). It also requires Argon2 PoW to register a key with the
    forum as a kind of an anti-spam measure.
    https://codeberg.org/grgmusk/mmmb
    To post messages a user has to
    1. Register theirs PGP key (there's a link in page top) by submitting
    public PGP key and Argon2 hash of it's fingerprint calculated with
    forum's required parameters (they're on the registration page,
    configurable in forum settings)
    ( echo -n ABCD1FGHIJA2CDEFG3IJABC4EFGH6JABC8EFGHIJ|argon2 sOmEsAlT123 -t
    60 -k 471040 -p 1)
    2. Sign a message with that PGP key, put it into form in New thread/Reply
    link.

    I'm not even sure if it all works as intended lol.
    I'll try running a live demo at
    Tor: http://e5avrgc4ra2xxrrlfnobspec4vcntpro25gwtybxljufo6eukmlri6yd.onion/mmmb_en/
    I2P: http://smr6fuqbpfhqtx2ffw6qrtkf6ddhe2v25inrz25kh2sfiejwmosa.b32.i2p/mmmb_en/
    shortly after sending this news article. It won't run long, maybe for a
    day. Please try posting something.


    Nice idea! I just posted a message there. :-)

    Yes, it is sad. Usenet regulars have become very very lazy
    in the recent years and are no longer participating in new
    things or technolgies, compared to Bitmessage users. Not
    sure what is causing this. Maybe they are getting to old
    and we have no new and young users.
