In particular, Bitmessage attempts to not just encrypt the content but also the metadata.

The only way you know whether a message has been sent to you is whether you are able to decrypt it from the passing stream of messages.

Although similar to Bitcoin in some regards, such as "/proof of work/", Bitmessage has no block chain and messages are only buffered for approximately three days after which they are deleted from any given node.
