I'm betting on (and contributing to) IPFS [1]. Some friends and I are working on Peergos [2], which is built on top of IPFS to replace dropbox, email and facebook with a P2P secure and private alternative.

- tracker1 9y agoHow do you feel about where keybase has been going with some of this (related to peergos)
- ianopolous 9y agoI think keybase are doing some great work. Their social proof using existing websites is great. Their keybase fs has some similar properties to peergos, but is still centralised and, to the best of my knowledge, closed source (open sourcing only the client doesn't count in my mind). I want something that is fully decentralised, open source, doesn't depend on DNS, and doesn't expose metadata (including the social graph).
- tracker1 9y agoI think there is a need for an announcer system, some known endpoints to connect into to feed p2p though... Also, haven't thought of a good way to mitigate poison injection/ddos attacks in terms of open/anonymous/decentralized communication.
- ianopolous 9y agoThere is an authenticated pub-sub in the works for IPFS. The idea being that only the holder of a given private key can publish updates to something (nodes would just refuse to propagate anything else).
- dyukqu 9y agoThe e-mail sign-up button doesn't work properly on the Peergos page. It shows "Page Not Found" error: https://peergos.org/Thank-you.html https://peergos.org/Thank-you.html
- ianopolous 9y agoThank you for pointing that out. I think we lost the page in the recent website remake. I'll reinstate it. In the meantime the sign up is still working. (I was wondering why people were signing up multiple times with the same email, now it's clear).
- ianopolous 9y agoIt is fixed now.
