Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities.
I've been playing around with this P2P communication system for a while, about a year or so since I first discovered it. All the messages are encrypted, the network claims that it is trustless and works somewhat like the Bitcoin Blockchain, but instead of currency, the chain is made of messages.
Very much like Bitcoin, the creation of a new "account", or in this case an email identity is a simple matter of running a PRNG to create an address. You can use a passphrase to create a deterministic address as well if you wish, somewhat like a Bitcoin brainwallet.
If you would like to use it and talk to someone, my Bitmessage address is BM-2cXuLu4NyLEjBgEpDNNSvyryCH7PnXjMfe.
