EMP is a fully encrypted, distributed messaging service designed with speed in mind. Originally based off of BitMessage, EMP makes modifications to the API to include both Read Receipts that Purge the network of read messages, and an extra identification field to prevent clients from having to decrypt every single incoming message.

All configuration is found in ~/.config/emp/msg.conf, which is installed automatically with make start. An example is found in ./script/msg.conf.example. The example should be good for most users, but if you plan on running a "backbone" node, make sure to add your external IP to msg.conf in order to have it circulated around the network.
