BitTorrent’s Bleep P2P messaging service now has offline support

BitTorrent today updated its encrypted P2P chat app Bleep with offline messaging support. You can download the new version from labs.bittorrent.com/bleep. The Bleep team explains why it originally had to forgo the convenience of offline messaging when it began development: “Without a server to store the messages, we needed a little more time to iron out the details of sending and receiving messages to offline users with the security we can guarantee during real-time chats.” Now, you can use Bleep to send messages to an offline user.
