I've been skeptical at considerable length about the prospect of a decentralized Web [so] I was asked to summarize what would be needed for success apart from working technology.
Duniter is a cryptocurrency software supporting the concepts of a Universal Dividend and Web of Trust; and its Blockchain code is far more energy efficient.
The next economy will have to balance the needs of Earth’s expanding population with the shrinking level of resources which are available to everyone. This study in 2 volumes leads to an analysis of the thermodynamic downside of free trade and the thermodynamic potential relocalization of production and distribution.
DNA is a decentralized distributed network protocol based on blockchain technology and is implemented in Golang. Through peer-to-peer network, DNA can be used to digitize assets and provide financial service, including asset registration, issuance, transfer, etc.
Freescience allows any researcher to share his scientific papers (as well as notes, data and designs draws, ecc...) into a P2P OAI-PMH compliant network, by mean of which your works will be instantly available to hundred of thousands researchers worldwide. You can also browse the huge OAI archive (about 1 million documents from the best research institutes) and download their full text for free.
YaCy ist eine Suchmaschinensoftware die sich jeder installieren kann um damit ein Suchportal zu errichten, das Intranet zu indexieren oder andere Daten mit einer Suchfunktion zu erweitern. YaCy kann als Einzelinstallation betrieben werden aber die besondere Fähigkeit der Software ist die Vernetzung in einem Peer-to-Peer Suchmaschinennetz.
Imagine all the researchers you know, with a new bibliographic management tool that combined file storage with a napster-like communications protocol -- docster. Instead of just citations, docster also stores the files themselves and retains a connection between the citation metadata and each corresponding file. Somewhere in the ether is a docster server to which those researchers connect. They're reading one of their articles, and they find a new reference they want to pull up. What to do? Just query docster for it. Docster will figure out who else among those connected has a copy of that article, and if it's found, requests and saves a copy for our friendly researcher.
Any peer-to-peer publishing system must provide a mechanism for efficiently locating published documents. For censorship resistant systems, it is particularly important that the lookup mechanism be difficult to disable or abuse.
a BitTorrent library written in C++ for *nix. It is designed to avoid redundant copying and storing of data that other clients and libraries suffer from. Licensed under the GPL.
you should give your files to peers (and in return store their files) so that if a catastrophe strikes your area, you can recover data from surviving peers.
Li Fan, Pei Cao and Jussara Almeida & Andrei Z. Broder - this new protocol, each proxy keeps a summary of the cache directory of each participating proxy, and checks these summaries for potential hits before sending any queries.
a set of open protocols that allow any connected device on the network ranging from cell phones and wireless PDAs to PCs and servers to communicate and collaborate in a P2P manner.
a system for distributed, anonymous, persistent data storage which is robust against attempts by powerful adversaries to find and destroy any stored data.
stands for Masqueraded, Anonymous, Decentralized, Dynamic Information Sharing and is the attempt to create a powerful state-of-the-art peer-2-peer system. (on hold)
a true peer-to-peer file sharing technology that lets multiple Eudora users automatically share the same set of files and keep them in sync on their own hard drives.
a Direct Connect clone, a windoz client allowing users to share their files and talk (like IRC but more software sharing oriented) using a proprietary protocol.
networking technology that lets you create an instant network of computers and devices without any configuration. It allows the services and capabilities of each device to be registered on the network, and allows these services to be dynamically disc.
explores the challenges of constructing a distributed e-business architecture based on the concept of Request Based Virtual OrganiZation (RBVO) and presents a solution based on ebXML, Open Source e-business component
Looking for a way to share digital music without risking a lawsuit? Look at Mercora, a new music-sharing service that adheres to the letter of federal law.
a product that allows an organization HPC grid to be extended through aggregation of unused computing resources. For instance, ComputeMode allows a virtual cluster to be built using an organization's employees' PCs.
the Gnutella network could and should be one of the core distribution tools on the Internet. We believe in open standards, open networks (sux, embrace and conquer)
