I think it's great that people are continuing to experiment with cypherpunkish technology platforms and with ways of combining different technologies, but "uncensorable" is a pretty strong claim. "No single point of failure", another claim displayed on the web site, doesn't genuinely imply "uncensorable".
- baroffoos 8y agoLast time I checked which was a few years ago. Zeronet uses a torrent tracker to find peers. Meaning that if the devs server goes offline you won't be able to load any zeronet sites.
- vorticalbox 8y agoNot quite right, it does use torrent trackers however on visiting a website you download and start seeding that website to other zeronet users. So long as there is a tracker up and people seeding it people can access you're website. There is a add to black list button for websites you find and don't want to seed. There are restrictions in place for websites such as only having 10mb of space but you can grant it more should you want to from the UI. Other than keeping a website a live by seeding you also get to access the website offline, and it will resync next time there is an internet connection
- schoen 7y ago> There is a add to black list button for websites you find and don't want to seed. That doesn't sound very completely uncensorable if someone can identify a potentially tiny number of seeders and punish them (via DDoS, legal action, social shaming, or violence) for continuing to seed a particular site. If that works, there might then be no seeders left at all.
