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.
