Do you use any of them? What do people use nowadays? I know that ZeroNet is dead now and there's a new "FreeNet" people are working on, but what are people already using? For websites, files, anything

I2P

Freenet is now called Hyphanet because the original developers of Freenet decided to use the Freenet name for a new thing that no one will use.

Hyphanet is as slow and inactive as it has always been, but it works, and if you want to publish some data for free and not been traced back is a good option for that.

I2P

my boy zzz is BACK. but I mostly use i2p to play cdda on ssh. it's getting minor mainstream attraction for torrenting too though.

Is QBittorrent compatible with I2P?
>>
>>102401964
It is, on the libtorrent 2.0 version, but that version is absolute shit if you have hundreds or thousands of torrents
>install qbittorrent 4.6.6 lt2.0
>slowest shit on earth, takes minutes to start while hammering my cpu
>cpu usage always over 50% while it's open
>go back to the lt1.2 version
>takes less than 30 seconds to start
>cpu usage under 10%

Isn't the new thing some crypto scam?

>>102400998
Do any of them work for low latency video live-streaming?
>>
>>102402248
I2P has game servers afaik

Only russian technology: I2P and Yggdrasil.

It's not "the original developers". It was an unilateral decision by Ian Clarke, and the only reason he did it was because he wanted to apply for free money to Louis Rossmann's FUTO founding program.
He wanted to pitch something that looked popular when searching it on Google but he couldn't pitch a plan to modify the real Freenet because he hasn't been involved with it since the early 2000s.
So he decided to steal the name for his own scam cryptocurrency project that will never actually see the light of day.
And the two leftists german cucks who are the only active developers the real project has (Bombe and Arne Bab), didn't have big enough balls to refuse the forced name change and keep using the original name, so instead they choose the worst name they could think of, which is supposed to be related to a fungus or something.

What about it is crypto?

You have to pay them to prove you are human to be able to interact with some parts of the system that in a normal webpage would be protected by a captcha.
The more you pay, the more "trusted" you are, and you "may" qualify to get some other unspecified "perks".

This is kinda weird because the original FMS (Freenet Messaging System) already has captchas and web of trust for spam protection, so that's both more decentralized and more technically advanced than the new thing. In the old Freenet anyone can publish trust lists and anyone can decide what trust lists to subscribe to. With the new Freenet, there is only one trust list, the one published by Ian. And to be on that trust list, you have to pay him.
There's also a system that tracks how much you contribute and allocates resources based on that. Presumably those credits may also be able to be resold. ("Contracts are prioritized by balancing resource usage with value created").

Now when you say "new freenet" and "old freenet" do you mean "freenet and hyphanet" or just "freenet before hyphanet existed and freenet after hyphanet existed"?
I'm confused
>>
The funniest bit is, freenet was my provider for about a year. It doesn't get more confusing than that.
>>
>>102404740
old freenet = the software that has been developed since the 2000s, now rebranded to "hyphanet"
new freenet = the software that has been developed since 2019
>>
>>102404855
I see, that clears it up.

So, long story short: The new freenet, the one that is actually still being named freenet right now, is basically a scam. You have to bribe one doorman, basically.

What's the point of that?

We should revive genius.com, it wasn't about lyrics, it was about site annotations. You could comment on any URL on there.

There's a game inside i2p? What is it? Never heard of cdda.
>>
>>102405965
he means running this game https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/ through ssh accessed through i2p.

Hyphanet is a good name.

I like "Freenet" much better.

yes I use bittorrent on my bare static home IP

>>102406695
this but unironically

>>102404880
No, that's Tor
>>102404645
They said they'd replace the Ghost Key system with something else that isn't paid later on. Not touching it until that happens though
>>
Why Dont they have their own domain like .i2p or .onion?
>>
>>102400998
I tried freenet once in the 2000's.
It had dolphin porn, a few terrorist websites in Arabic, and a couple of leftist/anarchist websites.

>>102404645

Thank you for the information. All I knew was that hyphanet is the new name and the old name was used for something else.

Sad to loss a good name like Freenet to a crypto scam.
