First of all this application does not collect access logs and posts are directed to NNTP server peannyjkqwqfynd24p6dszvtchkq7hfkwymi5by5y332wmosy5dwfaqd.onion which is a hidden tor/onion news server address.
Generate a hash token.
It is a "proof-of-work" that prevents spam by requiring your computer to perform some calculations. This is similar to how cryptocurrencies work - you need to "mine" a valid token before sending a message.
Enter any fake "
email@addre.ss", select the difficulty level (higher bits = longer processing time), and click "Generate Token". Your browser will mine a valid token that will be required in the next steps.
Generate a key pair (this creates a public and private key). Then, write your message and click "Sign Message". This will create a digital signature using the Ed25519 cryptographic algorithm that will be attached to your post.
The final step sends your signed message to the Usenet network.
You can choose between two methods:
Direct NNTP: Posts directly to the NNTP server at peannyjkqwqfynd24p6dszvtchkq7hfkwymi5by5y332wmosy5dwfaqd.onion
Email Gateway: Sends via email to
mail2news@mail2news.tcpreset.net or
mail2news@xilb7y4kj6u6qfo45o3yk2kilfv54ffukzei3puonuqlncy7cn2afwyd.onion.
