HushChat

Private messenger for pseudonymous and anonymous communications

HushChat is a program which allows communicating via the cryptocurrency Hush. You can send messages to about 1000 people simultaneously, allowing for encrypted mailing-list style messaging.

Using the zCash protocol, it allows transactions involving shielded addresses in addition to normal transparent Bitcoin addresses. This allows transactions without disclosing sender, receiver, message (or even that a message existed), or financial transaction amount.
