Whether or not it is a luxury, the existence of unlicensed cabs is proof of unmet demand. They indicate either that licensed cabs are too expensive, or that they aren't in high enough supply.
212.
by gw 13y ago
If the price is the same, then that indicates that there is a shortage of supply and the unlicensed cabs are filling that demand. In that case, the choice for many people isn't between licensed and unlicensed cabs, but rather between unlice

As you pointed out, the rapes and assaults are ongoing. By making the bottom of the market illegal (by making it uneconomical), you haven't stopped these crimes from happening, you've simply forced them to occur in the black market where th

This is a complete fallacy. Any black market, by definition, will have a higher incidence of other criminal activity, because people who are willing to violate one law are often willing to violate others. This is no different than arguing t

I'll consider that in the future, but I'm not in a rush to solicit donations right now. If I decide to quit my job and work on this full time, I will definitely start begging =)

Thank you for narrowing that down for me, I'll try to fix this soon.

I'll look into this; it hasn't happened on my phone but hopefully I'll figure it out when I get home from work tonight.

Do you mind telling me what country you live in? I selected every possible country in the dev console so I'm not sure why it would say that.

by gw 14y ago
Yeah I will definitely work on this, I apologize for that.
221.
by gw 14y ago
Can you elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean.

Yeah I chose that because I2P uses it. The devs are already discussing upgrading, and once they do I will upgrade it in Nightweb as well.

I am definitely considering making a desktop client. I can re-use all the backend code but will have to make a UI from scratch, so it won't necessarily be soon.

You have to bootstrap onto the I2P network initially. There are several IPs hardcoded into the router by the I2P project, which are run by volunteers. If these IPs are blocked in your country, you are out of luck. There are a few possible s

Yep I've spoken with him a few times on his forum. I announced Nightweb there a week ago but I don't think I ever got any replies. I am definitely willing to incorporate any changes he suggests, as he knows the I2P codebase as well as anyon

by gw 14y ago
I wouldn't say it's an alternative, because CJDNS and I2P operate at different levels of the stack. In other words, you could theoretically run I2P on top of CJDNS. I like the project very much, though integration into Nightweb isn't likely

You can already reply to posts. Just hit the new post button when viewing a post, and your post will link back to it. I'm considering adding an APK download link, but my site doesn't use SSL so I didn't feel comfortable doing it there.

Yep I already added data export. Just click your profile and there is a button called "Export..." which will ask for a password and create an encrypted zip file.

I'll look into this. EDIT: Ugh, yep, a bug I introduced recently. I am issuing another update, 0.0.6.

I mean the hostnames used by I2P itself. They behave like normal hostnames, but they don't require any DNS-style resolution because they contain your public keys inside the hostname itself. They are equivalent to .onion addresses in Tor, ex

by gw 14y ago
I do not use I2P's domain name system at all. Everything is just fully-qualified base32 hostnames underneath.

Understood; I actually was moreso referring to rewriting I2PSnark, not I2P itself. The BitTorrent codebase is pretty old and I know I can improve it if I had time. I agree that touching the core/router code itself is dicey, but keep in mind
233.
by gw 14y ago
I didn't actually modify the core or router code at all, I only needed to modify the I2PSnark code (i.e. the BitTorrent component). I did not roll my own crypto at all, other than the digital signing of meta torrents which is an application

It requires version 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and above, so that may be the issue.

You have to find people externally, such as through the links people shared on this page. There is a bug preventing links in a browser from being openable in the app, but I just released an update that fixes this. There is no way to discove

I think it's considered bad practice to define your own URI scheme for your app, though it is very common on iOS since you have no other choice. I thought using HTTP links would be nice since (a) they are much more likely to be linkified wh

The word "decentralized" is a pretty loaded term unfortunately. I think tent.io and other similar projects are decentralized in the sense of who controls the servers, but they are still fundamentally client-server protocols. Nightweb (and I

Yeah, your favorites are stored in your meta torrent, so it will be updated every time you add a favorite user or post.

Once you've bootstrapped/integrated with the network, it takes a minute or two for a new update to reach you in my testing. The initial time to bootstrap onto the network is around five minutes. The traffic consumption is pretty high, becau

Thanks very much. By the way, currently clicking the link in a browser doesn't seem to bring up the intent chooser to open it in the Nightweb app. I'll try to fix that today. In the meantime, the workaround is to email or text the link to y
