Broadcast

A Broadcast is a message intended to reach an infinite number of users.

Encryption

Broadcast are encrypted with the 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.

Acknowledge

Broadcasts are not acknowledged with an ACK Message. They are lost after about 2 days.

Resending

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.
