I didn't realize a separate ZeroNet client wasn't necessary. By definition, P2P networks are made up of participants sharing the burden of hosting/routing/processing. Seems they have an external pathway setup so non-members can access it.

No problem, but these web "mirrors"/"nodes" hosted by volunteer members are temporary and may change/disappear, isn't it?

Well, thanks for the explanation - I understand, it could be that... I had luck...
Anyway - interesting concept, from what I understand it's the future of internet... following those, who strive for a free www without monopols.

No more downloads from this "ZeroNet" mirror, instead there is "Bat-To-Exe-Converter-Downloader" -

You go to "ZeroNet" to download some installer which download something from "Inter-Planetary File System". Why not Inter-Galactic? Another pseudo crypto shit, dead from the start.
Fuck these clowns, downvoted

The zeronet page is throwing a bad cert error, so I guess that fell apart. Anyway, I certainly understand the frustration / disgust, but I do like some of the concepts outlined with IPFS. I'll push it to another thread to avoid a thread hijack.

IPFS (https://ipfs.io/) is quite well regarded in the Linux camp.

For more info, start at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System.

My grunts mainly not about ridiculous "InfinityNets" or "Inter-Dimensional File Systems".
What with the entry? Remove? Last freely available portable version from Archive.org or other site? Our mirror?

Re: ZeroNet

#25 Post by Midas »

Some needed clarification of ZeroNet workings and origin straight from Wikipedia:
ZeroNet is a decentralized web-like network of peer-to-peer users, created by Tamas Kocsis in 2015, programming for the network was based in Budapest, Hungary; is built in Python; and is fully open source. Instead of having an IP address, sites are identified by a public key (specifically a bitcoin address). The private key allows the owner of a site to sign and publish changes, which propagate through the network. Sites can be accessed through an ordinary web browser when using the ZeroNet application, which acts as a local webhost for such pages. In addition to using bitcoin cryptography, ZeroNet uses trackers from the BitTorrent network to negotiate connections between peers. ZeroNet is not anonymous by default, but it supports routing traffic through the Tor network.
