Hi hackers, we've created new encrypted emails service, with end-to-end encryption. Using PGP with some additions to ensure user privacy We encrypt all data, including recipient if you send within scryptmail, also we do not have any scripts located outside of our server, to protect your privacy. For more features please read our blog at: http://blog.scryptmail.com/post/103536268805/scryptmail-features

We would like to hear your thoughts and recommendations!

Short outlines * end-to-end encryption using PGP * 2 step authentication * ability to reset password without loosing your account * send encrypted message to google or yahoo

Congrats for bringing this to the world. A few questions:

1. Are you doing the encryption in a browser plugin?

2. How do you send the email without learning who the recipient is? Are you saving it on the server, thus not using SMTP, and then requiring both the sender and recipient to be users of Scryptmail?

1. It is not plugin, but more similar to library or collections of them. Like jquery, forge.js and crypto

2. If you send email between scryptmail users, sender creating so called seed, that get scanned by everyone, but only intended recipient will be able to decrypt it, and download message, i.e more people using service and scanning seeds -harder to establish connection between sender and recipient.

I hope it answers your question.

I've been pondering doing one of these as a startup weekend suggestion for next year. I like where you're headed so far!
