+
+
+
+  % Section basics
+  \input{basics}
+
+  The protocol is described in detail in my Seminar paper.
+
+
+  \section{Goal}
+
+  At the moment, there aren't many implementations apart from the official clients. Especially two things are missing: a multi purpose Java library and a usable mobile client. My goal for my \textit{Project 2} is to create the library, to be used next semester as a starting point for an Android\textsuperscript{\texttrademark} client in my Bachelor Thesis.
+
+
+  \section{Issues}
+
+  \subsection{Proof of Work}
+
+  Proof of work is needed for a message to be distributed within the Bitmessage network. This is to protect both the network itself from denial of service attacks and the users from spam.
+
+
+  \section{Architecture}
+
+  \subsection{Ports and Adapters}
+
+  The library uses a ports and adapters architecture, which allows us to easily replace some implementations that might be platform dependent, such as storage or proof of work calculation.
+

+
+  The big advantage of this approach is that it's easy to test the core as well as each adapter by itself.
