Recommended Posts

hmm.. looks interesting.. though could someone not feed potentially junk data to your browser (slip in some extra javascript or something).

... do plain web pages really justify P2P networking? Videos, OK, but... I think I'll stay with the one that has a concept of security...

Great idea, but unless it's secured, and monitored for bad code, this won't go very far. It's just like Microsoft's Windows For Gamers OS they discussed. A stripped down version of Windows, oriented toward Gamers only. It died before even budget approval came too.

Well it could get more and more people into the idea the torrents are not all bad...

People are wary of Torrents because of the MPAA/FBI and all these different groups hitting people for torrent'ing.

 

That trust and tarnish will take awhile to be polished back up.

Go to my bank account on a torrent-based application? I don't care how long they say it is secure, not going to happen.

I foresee a lot of difficulties with this and all my searching is not giving me answers. How does someone updates a website? How does it determine the most up-to-date website? If you're master seed goes down then who becomes the master seed, and how do you get it back?

 

Not to mention, there goes all of my anonymity, everyone needs to have access to my I.P. if I'm part of the swarm.

 

The security implications of this are massive. I want this to work but alarm bells are ringing in my head and no one, not even them, seem to address them.

 

I'll be a fly on the wall until I feel my questions have been answered.

I agree completely. Even though some U.S. Judges are dropping cases, IP Address aren't attached to ONE person. That's why I never use my phone for anything.
