FreeNet is a distributed key/value store. It can be used to store files by storing the contents of the file under a key that is the hash of the file content. Generally you operate on Freenet at the level of keys and…
ZeroNet does not pay you for hosting. Maidsafe is more file storage, ZeroNet is more about distributed site sharing. ZeroNet could be implemented on top of Maidsafe but not vice versa. There's also the fact that ZeroNet…
I think IPFS would make a good backing store for ZeroNet. Rather than storing files on the filesystem of the user they could be stored in IPFS.
ZeroNet is better at dealing with such sites now but it's still problematic when a site grows past a threshold where requestors need to be prompted to increase the size. Nodes that are just seeding don't automatically…
All sites that viewed an existing site contain a copy of it and share the data. There is a "thundering herd" problem of multiple requesters for the site initially being distributed but once that's done then multiple…
Have you left the ipfs daemon running? Do any errors show in it? Does this show any connections: ipfs swarm peers
The IPFS daemon installation will result in an internet facing service being installed. It's not "web accessible" but accessible using the protocols that IPFS uses. Other nodes will contact your instance and communicate…
> Given a URL for an HTTP resource, how do you know it does not contain child porn before you retrieve it? As clueless404 stated, on the http web you don't automatically seed the content that you accidentally retrieved.…
Freenet encrypts content, parcels it into chunks and distributes those chunks amongst peers. Does this meet your definition of "distributed content farm that might place CP on my computer"? I'm curious because I've seen…
Redacted case notes from a Freeneter acting as an expert witness on a case: https://asksteved.com/freenet-case/case-redacted.pdf
Freenet is facing this. They got a 25k donation from duckduckgo and for the last couple of months debate on how to spend it, whether the previous paid developer gets to continue, etc. They're running a poll at the…
Seems to fit the same usecase as Freenet USK keys: https://wiki.freenetproject.org/Updateable_Subspace_Key They allow the holder of the private key to add new data and clients who know the public USK can get notified of…
Onioncat [1] provides this functionality for Tor and I2p. You get an Ipv6 address and it works with any application that supports IPv6. The address is based on the hidden service (in the case of tor) backing the…
Don't forget Freeenet https://www.freenetproject.org/, which has the goal of anonymity. IPFS isn't anonymous and the IP address of users pinning the content is easily discoverable. Freenet has at least one site that…
The FMS decentralized message system in Freenet is spam resistant using a web of trust. Some Frost users have recently migrated to using it more since the frostbite bug caused problems Freetalk is dead/stalled due to…
There is a freenet site that lists torrents, magnet links and inserts the file into Freenet but they use the kat API so I assume it's dead too. It shows that a Freenet based site could be workable though.
