   Take a look at Startups Anonymous, it's a nice little forum for founders - they answer these questions honestly.

   Wonder if Snowden has stopped using webmail after Lavabit? If not would love his comments on Lavaboom.

   Don't think it's started yet. Anyone else know anything?

   The head of GCHQ last year during an inquiry: "If I asked my employees to spy on UK citizens they would walk out...they would quit their jobs" - Perhaps he should quit.

   Hey Meira, thanks so much for your feedback! I think you're right about the email sign up, it's purely for the private beta roll out and we use three-way encryption to protect users who sign up. We plan to allow Bitcoin, Dogecoin

    Yep, Jabber, ChatStep, Adium, all used by Lavaboom staff. Lavaboom wouldn't be possible without OpenSource. You now have loads of privacy startups building from the groundwork done by OpenSource developers.

    Lavaboom.com has similar goals but is based in Germany. It's also webmail. I'm one of the co-founders if you have any queries.

    The internal key server auto updates your contacts public key, this only works if they're also a Lavaboom user, if your contact uses another service and changes public key then they'll need to give you the new key. Man in the midd

    Bill from Lavaboom here. There are a lot questions about what we've built, we've answered some of them here: http://www.lavaboom.com/nerd-info If you have any questions or suggestions I would love to hear them, hi

    That's why we built Lavaboom overseas and out of US jurisdiction. The same applies to many secure email providers.
