Or, instead of TCP, content-based storage as in Freenet.
- southerntofu 5y agoYes P2P CAS (torrent/freenet/ipfs) sounds very interesting over mixnets. Do you have links to specific implementations?
- summm 5y agoFreenet manages to implement some kind of anonymity without mixnets, relying on inserting/retrieving storage blocks sacrificing latency. In my opinion that's the better approach, because if you separate storage and communication, like ipfs-over-tor, you'll never get anything with proper anonymity and decent performance. Beyond that, I've heard of xolotl related to gnunet, but I am not sure to what extent it is actually implemented and/or working, as usual with gnunet.
- southerntofu 5y agoAre you aware of modern Freenet reimplementations, by any chance?
- goodpoint 5y agocontent-based storage is not "instead" of TCP. It's a different solution for a different requirement.
- southerntofu 5y agocorrect, content-addressed storage is often implemented on top of TCP. I wrongly used TCP to generically mean "location-addressed".
