   Yes, absolutely, nodes set their own rates. I've tried my best to keep economic decisions local. Nodes that steal the credit payment can be detected: And an algorithm can and will be built that detects it, and subsequently sends it&#x2

   Great questions! Happy to answer them :) Is there an implementation: Not yet. I have a prototype implementation of a link layer and I've prototyped parts of the network layer and transport layer. But only enough to convince me that the

   The TCP/IP Internet is also an engine of centralization. By limiting hop counts, and distributing addresses hierarchically, we end up with just a few giant players in each industry.

    For the past 20 months I've been designing a new mesh network protocol in my spare time, and I'm planning to incorporate (obviously as a non-profit) eventually, but haven't pulled the trigger because I haven't needed to

    The TCP/IP internet is irreparably broken for real time applications. The barriers to new entrants wanting to do the same thing as Riot Games is too high. I've proposed a scalable mesh network, see IsoGrid.org

    I'd hate for Midori to be lost to the sands of time. Any chance it will be open sourced?

    The study relies on isochronously spoken words! Inside joke: I recently published a network protocol that relies on sending words isochronously between switches. I'll take this as validation that I'm on to something :-)

    I think we need a mesh topology at the network layer in order to really have reliable networks in an emergency. TCP/IP, in my opinion, is an engine that centralizes power: Which leads to choke points and single points of failure for cr

    I want a mesh network that does to the TCP/IP Internet what the road network has done to the train network. The road networks reduced the barriers to entry in so many industries. I only have Comcast as an option for broadband Internet.

    Thanks for the pointers, I'll look them up! > The question is what benefits does the meshnet provide over the mixnet style schemes? My Isochronous grid/mesh protocol is designed to operate at the network layer. The TCP/IP

    If you arbitrarily define any large wire on a pole as being "centralized", then sure, but I wouldn't agree with that definition. For example, I can lease long distance point to point dark fiber for my personal use, and run wh

    > private unless an eavesdropper was physically nearby. I completely agree with your post. I have an idea for how to resolve this via networking topology. Right now, TCP/IP seems to me to be an engine for centralizing power: Limited

    I completely agree that Cryptography researchers should evaluate their work against their moral values. I feel the same thing about pretty much all engineering... I've been focusing on trying to design moral networking protocols.

    If you can settle for the Sun, and be patient... Just wait ~8 billion years for the sun to turn into a red giant (engulfing the earth, along with your remains). You may even get lucky and some of your remains may be swept away in the solar

    I absolutely love the concept and the underlying moral reasoning for why we need IPFS! One of the first questions that came to me: Is there any way to add a forward error correcting code, like an erasure code to IPFS? I didn't find any

    You're right, but it's even worse than that. The speed of light in optical fiber is closer to 200,000 km/s.
