It seems, you are trying to decentralize the who world which I think is a) unrealistic b) doesn't make sense. On the other hand, we are trying to solve specific use cases with decentralized applications. For instance Bitcoin implements

What you suggest with regards to the 20 previous IP is called seed caching, and yes, that is what many, probably most P2P network do. While it works most of the time on large networks, but it is obviously not the solution, because it canno

I don't want to be condescending and I apologize if I sound like that, but I think you totally misunderstand what the problem is. What difference it makes if you disseminate a fundamental design problem (i.e. the bootstrapping of the n

Hi, I wrote a white paper which is available at http://streembit.github.io/ and link of the white paper is http://streembit.github.io/downloads/streembit_whitepaper_v1... We use open standards such as

I agree. It doesn't get enough discussion because it would disrupt the hype about blockchain. When in fact as you said, it is relatively easy to solve the problem. <<< Servers at MIT if I recall correctly. If these servers are

I am sorry, but centralized network bootstrapping is a very well known issue and unsolved problem of decentralized networks. http://ryandoyle.net/assets/papers/Distributed_Bootstrapping... http://grotho

The number of existing bootstrapping nodes do not solve the fundamental problem of current centralized bootstrapping. Not even if a virtual box costs $1 instead of $10. The issue is how a connecting node knows about other nodes in the netwo

All these articles in the mainstream media about decentralized computing are very nice and the Ethereum and Bitcoin PR teams are doing a fine job to disseminate the idea of decentralized computing. At the same time, I think we need to be mo

We have released version 1.0.8 that fixes a few connection issues.
