I'm one of the founders of Redecentralize.org. My own main motivation wasn't just privacy, but also resilience (against, say, hurricanes) and fun (the web doesn't have the same joy it once did). So my favourite interview so far is the mobile mesh network one http://redecentralize.org/interviews/2013/08/14/04-paul-serval.html http://redecentralize.org/interviews/2013/08/14/04-paul-serv... I also think it is important that new algorithms like DHT (Kademlia), BitCoin and GFShare get known and used to their full extent. Please get in touch if you've a project that would like interviewing!

Please see and respond to the comments above about the ineffectiveness of using only videos to communicate your messages. Whatever they are.

  Amen. I followed the link, saw that "watch the videos" was the only option, and bailed immediately.

Here's the raft algorithm we chatted about: https://ramcloud.stanford.edu/wiki/download/attachments/11370504/raft.pdf https://ramcloud.stanford.edu/wiki/download/attachments/1137... And an implementation: https://github.com/goraft/raft https://github.com/goraft/raft Decentralised conversations :)

  Do you know who the best person we can interview about this is? Looks really interesting / important.

    Raft isn't for "decentralized" exactly, because it relies on knowing the number and identities of participants (and deliberately stops being able to commit updates when the number falls below a quorum). It's "no single point of failure" but the algorithm implies a sysadmin in control.

Thanks for your efforts. This needs to happen.

Not my project, but it's an interesting one, in that it starts to break down the current hierarchical physical network topology: http://ronja.twibright.com/ http://ronja.twibright.com/

What feature would we need in Android by default, to make meshnets a lot more possible? Like some sort of auto-connection to whatever Wi-Fi is close to you. I'm hoping that once the carriers themselves start to push users to use wi-fi for offloading from their network, the more Android and iOS and others will have features to make that easy, and the closer meshnets will be to reality.
