As far as data standards go, I like Ethernet. I guess we all have our own preferences on how to do peer-to-peer. That's just the one I like the most. As for protocols and exchanging public keys, how about face-to-face or by postal letter? It's just a blob of text. Again, if the social networks involve only friends and family, why do we need to do everything over the public web? Does everything have to be complicated? For networks with strangers, it's an entirely different ballgame. I have little interest in that can of worms. Way too complicated. That's for the geniuses who can create stuff like Freenet. I guess I could look at the WASTE code, but I doubt I would find it simpler than the approach I've settled on. As I say, we all have our preferences. I like things very simple.
