		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;created broadcast&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;A Broadcast is a [[Message|message]] intended to reach an infinite number of users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Encryption ==&lt;br /&gt;
Broadcast are encrypted with the [[Address|public key]] of the sender, therefore if a client has all public keys he can decrypt all broadcasts. With increasing number of public keys this gets more difficult over time. A regular client decrypts broadcast he has a subscription to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Acknowledge ==&lt;br /&gt;
Broadcasts are not acknowledged with an [[ACK Message]]. They are lost after about 2 days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Resending ==&lt;br /&gt;
Broadcasts are not resent. Resending has to be done manually by the user if he wishes to do so but this is considered to be a completely different message from the network point of view.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
