FastCast rest server, like the one hosted at hub.orisi.org

FASTCAST

FastCast is a simple broadcast messaging protocol we had to develop for Orisi. Right now it supports a single-server hub, but it should be possible to extend it into a distributed architecture, and to include a proof-of-work or proof-of-burn spam prevention.

FastCast is built as a simple web REST server based on Django Rest Framework. Here you can read how it compares to BitMessage.

You can explore API following e.g. those urls:

• Messages from the last 10 minutes
• Last 10 messages

The default FASTCAST server is hub.orisi.org. You can install your own using this repo if you like.
