rewarp<p>Search your feelings. You know it to be true. The world, and Internet was a better place, when most of our bandwidth was spent sharing TV shows on Bittorrent. <a href="https://rewarp.com/tags/piracy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#piracy</a> <a href="https://rewarp.com/tags/bittorrent" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bittorrent</a></p>
Charlotte Aten<p>I was curious about ZeroNet again today. ZeroNet was a <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/P2P" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>P2P</span></a> web project from the 2010s along similar lines to I2P (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) and <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Tor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tor</span></a> hidden services. The idea of hosting dynamic webpages in a completely P2P fashion, like torrents, remains super cool and appealing to me. In fact, at one point the <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/BitTorrent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BitTorrent</span></a> company had a similar proposal (<a href="https://www.bittorrent.com/blog/2014/12/10/project-maelstrom-the-internet-we-build-next/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bittorrent.com/blog/2014/12/10</span><span class="invisible">/project-maelstrom-the-internet-we-build-next/</span></a>).</p><p>The ZeroNet website (<a href="https://zeronet.io/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">zeronet.io/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) is still up, but the project hasn't been updated in five years as per the GitHub repo (<a href="https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNe</span><span class="invisible">t</span></a>). Someone was maintaining a fork at some point, and at other times I heard that ZeroNet was (now?) insecure, although I know no details. Certainly anything P2P isn't anonymous by default.</p><p>I found this question (<a href="https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/issues/2749" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNe</span><span class="invisible">t/issues/2749</span></a>) about the creator of ZeroNet. Disturbingly, this article (<a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/sam-maloney-creator-of-morphis-and-dpush-shot-dead-by-london-police/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">newsbtc.com/news/sam-maloney-c</span><span class="invisible">reator-of-morphis-and-dpush-shot-dead-by-london-police/</span></a>) about a different developer killed by the police under unusual circumstances was shared.</p><p>My impression was that ZeroNet actually worked (works?) to some extent. Why aren't projects like this being funded? We need censorship-resistant ways of communicating online, after all.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ZeroNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZeroNet</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/I2P" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>I2P</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/DistributedWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DistributedWeb</span></a></p>

jonny (good kind)<p>There is this big glaring problem in the <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/bittorrent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bittorrent</span></a> v2 spec that basically defeats the whole purpose of the spec. So v2 introduces per-file merkle trees, which rocks. That ostensibly means that you can match identical files in different torrents, and cross-seed them e.g. if someone has a single item but another person has a larger pack that includes that item. That could also be useful for mutable torrents that contain a hash tree of versions like git. The problem is that peer matching is done on the top-level infohash - which includes non-tree data - and peers are specifically required to sever connection without a matching infohash. Maybe it would be expensive for trackers to match peers by file hashes, but for DHT peers it makes perfect sense to advertise what file hashes you have for cross-seeding - that's sort of how the entire keyspace in kademlia works.</p>
jonny (good kind)<p>special invite to any <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/BitTorrent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BitTorrent</span></a> heads out there who want to contribute to our uploaders guide, seeders guide, torrent creation guide, or want to help get the tracker scraping and announcing part off the ground. if you ever wondered what it would be like if there were better social overlays to bittorrent where trackers could announce around peers based on explicit social relationships, curate collections collaboratively across tracker instances... that's the kinda sicko shit we're into</p>
