>The new Freenet (distinct from the Java-based Hyphanet fork of original Freenet) is a Rust-implemented peer-to-peer global key-value store and decentralized computing platform.>Keys are WebAssembly contracts that define (1) validity predicates for values (e.g. signature checks), (2) update authorization rules, and (3) synchronization logic expressed as commutative monoid operations on state so that concurrent updates converge to the same result regardless of order. Each contract is deterministically located on a one-dimensional ring [0,1) by hashing its code and parameters; its state is replicated on peers whose locations are near that point. Peers self-organize into a Kleinberg small-world overlay (local neighbors plus long-range shortcuts on the ring) that routes requests in a few hops with logarithmic scaling. A lightweight core node (<10 MB) exposes a local HTTP/WebSocket API; browser or native apps (written in Rust/TypeScript, compiled to Wasm) interact with it to create/read/update/subscribe to contract state in real time. Censorship resistance comes from full distribution with no servers or single points of control; anonymity is pluggable (e.g. over Tor/I2P) rather than built-in.https://freenet.org/https://freenet.org/pdf/freenet-whitepaper.pdfAre you using it? Have you tried it? Thoughts? Discuss in this thread.
>>109179485Does it still have the problem of a random person potentially hosting CP just to participate in the network?
>>109179547Yes, but not as much. it persists where nodes subscribe to it. Data doesn't automatically replicate everywhere like in the old static model.
>>109179485This faggot stole the name from the real project decades after abandoning the original when he saw a dollar sign (funding from FUTO).>>109179547I don't know, but I know there is no built in anonymity so fuck him.
>>109179571Why do you want built-in anonymity when optional anonymity can be better and improve over time? Also, he's the creator of the project, who did he steal it from? Himself? Nonsense.
>>109179584>Why do you want built-in anonymity when optional anonymity can be better and improve over time?If you want to improve something, you rewrite the relevant parts and push an update. Making anonymity optional will just lead to reducing the anonymity set.
>>109179563>Yes, but not as much.Still a no-go for me. If I get deanonymized I don't want to face CP charges.
