>What is GNUnet?
GNUnet is a fully decentralised p2p framework for a number of applications, the most commonly used one (probably) is filesharing
More info:

>Why use GNUnet over private trackers?
Private trackers:
>have to keep up a seed ratio or you're thrown out
>have to attach an account to your searches and requests
>have to trust that the private tracker's owner won't leak your details anywhere
>uploading must be approved
GNUnet:
>no seeding requirement
>no account needed
>no trusted 3rd parties needed
>no way to trace any traffic back to you, unless you set anonymity to 0
>even just searching for content can be done via GNUnet's anonymous protocol
>anyone can publish anything
>no way for publishers to know who's downloading
>no way for downloaders to know who's publishing (except via optional namespaces)

So how do we put nyaa into it? Second what prevents gnunet from becoming a CP infested hellscape?

who says it isnt?

GNUnet is my new favorite

Is this the future?
Can we finally have a file sharing technology that just werks, again?

>what prevents gnunet from becoming a CP infested hellscape?
Nothing, it already is. Using GNUnet will just end up with you unwittingly hosting CP on your computer and becoming a valid target for the FBI

It's a neat technology that is ruined by degenerates

>GNUnet
>just werks
You're going to have way less people seeding because of the hoops they have to jump through to set it up

Anything to ensure quality control on this? Is it going to turn into a sea of poor quality uploads and viruses?

You could add the quality in the keywords, I suppose.

We really should get a proper wiki page on this.

Anyway people can rate files good/bad? What about user comments? How do you know your not just downloading gigabytes of dolphin porn?

just use demonsaw it's bigger and easier

>It's a neat technology that is ruined by degenerates

just like everything else

>GPL

No, thanks

GNUchan when

Not a rating system/user comments from what I can tell, but you can see the metadata of a file being downloaded. No real way to check if something is legit or not, but the same could be said for torrents.

One could probably set up a site that indexes gnURLs and allows for rating/comments, similar to TPB or something.

This has to be the worst piece of software I've ever used.

>Anonymous
Am I anonymous from my ISP or should I also use a VPN?

how do i fucking install this shit on windows?

>aboriginal flag
what did they mean by this?

You have to compile it. lol

This this this so much this

So, have anyone found anything interesting on this fabulous network?
I see only few files and most of them have 0% availability.
Also is it possible to somehow see if anyone is downloading from me? I tried uploading several ebooks and can't see any response.

I'm currently uploading the Ghost in the Shell original movie. Can be found searched via: mp4, ghost. Although more like a test than something else. Search up "pdf" and wait a while for pdfs to pop up. You'll find some pdfs with "top secret" and security.

how does this work in comparison to Tor and why should I trust this when even the NSA has ways to track you when using Tor?

>Using GNUnet will just end up with you unwittingly hosting CP on your computer
>unwittingly
That's some tech illiteracy right there

You don't even have a shred of anonymity in the internet. Even the tightly secured airgapped nuclear facilities can be hacked, why does someone deceive itself that they can defend themselves against such agencies? Your best bet would be hiding your furry stash from your boss but that's it.

Both the TCP and UDP transports fail with the default config. Do I have to forward the port on my router as well? Can't really tell from the site.

gnunet.org/concepts

"no easy way to know who sent what" sums it pretty well

Is it a new tor? Or freenet?

just filesharing for now, but they will soon expand

>" we assume that the adversary can see all the traffic on the Internet. And while we assume that the adversary can not break our encryption, we assume that the adversary has many participating nodes in the network and that it can thus see many of the node-to-node interactions since it controls some of the nodes."

>Hiding actions in the traffic of other users requires participating in the traffic, bringing back the traditional technique of using indirection and source rewriting.


tl;dr:
Enjoy being used to traffic cp.

just what the buttmad NSA would say

It's only a matter of time before a glaring issue si found and it turns out the NSA can track the original sender and figure out what he is sending.

Guys, if you could change the interface, what would you do? I mean specific stuff

for starters use QT instead of GTK.

I would consider installing ubuntu for this if it had content.

Make the statistics show meaningful values and have a time axis that makes sense
Rewrite the fs-gtk list so it works with dark themes and tiling wms (I can't see the metadata column on narrow windows)
also

Get rid of the godawful tab images, and replace them with just text. By the looks of it, they embed other GTK applications (seeing as though gnunet-fs-gtk can be started separately, which saves you from seeing the fucking images). Shouldn't be too hard, in theory.

Then again, I have no idea how GTK works, so this is all just me guessing.

This.

GNUnet require root to be installed.
Discarded.

I found i2p to be interesting and a bit more mature than GNUnet. Any i2p sites worth a damn to look up?

I wish it was less of a pain to use on terminal. You're making me install a WM for that shit

The terminal interface isn't so bad. If you really need a proper interface, but for some reason are too retarded to use a WM, what's stopping you from making an ncurses interface for it?

Can't see shit. Even after half an hour search. Maybe not all the nodes see all the others? (no, I have no idea how this network works..or is supposed to)
There are some results for "avi", "epub", etc, but nothing worth of interest.

How do I use this on windows?

I only get 3 results searching for avi, 4 searching for epub. is that normal?

Also is anyone using the Arch package? Does running it as a systemd service work? Anyone got a working example gnunet.conf?

I'm retarded

We need someone working on a web interface working on loopback. Any up to the challenge? The devs are in #gnunet on freenode.

They are working in a web version btw gnunet.io/

Oh yes, Ghost in the shell showed up under "ghost" (no result under "mp4"). But the availability is 0% and there doesn't seem to be any progress, at least this early. Did you increase your speed limits? My default upload limit was 1024 B/s.
I have six results for "avi" now and four for "epub" (three of them are my uploads)
Looks like you may find several results almost immediately and some other after tens of minutes, maybe more, who knows.

How is this different than IPFS?

i put it at like 5000000 bytes or whatever it is

Retroshare masterrace.

GNUnet ftw

i2p is better

how?

I'm starting to agree. I2p is pretty damn easy to configure, it has built-in browser functionality, and it just seems more reasonable to use.

hiddenbooru

eMule used to make use of these great/good/OK/bad/really bad icons, plus users could add comments to files. Not sure why basically every p2p thing since then didn't have something similar.
Oh how I wish there was a modern equivalent with IPv6 support and decent encryption that's easy enough to use so that millions of users across the world could simply share their stuff with everyone.

not really
identical files are not colluded
meaning if the one person sharing it goes offline it's gone, and/or we end up with countless differently named unsortable duplicates

whereas on gnunet, if two unrelated people publish a file with an identical hash (independent of file name and tags), they will be treated as the same and you can/will leech from both

Is it like danbooru?

i2p is not really only for file sharing. its more like tor but better.

Guys, there is thing thing called gnunet zones you want to check, they are meant as a "rating" system

Retroshare looks like a perfect social network than filesharing service

>meaning if the one person sharing it goes offline it's gone, and/or we end up with countless differently named unsortable duplicates
wtf are you talking about. i2p is a network level protocol, you run other filesharing layer over it like torrents

>i2p is a network level protocol
so is GNUnet, and even a better protocol

>Showing the old GUI, screenshot the new GUI faggot

i guess.
the images are well tagged and it's active

Looks like ass like most loonix software. Year of the linux desktop never ever

I'll take a look at it in 2-3 years from now. If it has a reasonably sized user base by then, a good windows client, and isn't just for pedos sharing cp, then maybe I'll start using it

pedos using something is often a great sign
shows that whatever is actually legit/secure/trustable
they pave the way and pull the rest of us forward
the only good things left in modernity we owe to those with unspeakable fetishes
thank you sickos, thank you for fighting the good fight and trying to keep the world and future a little less bleak

>shows that whatever is actually legit/secure/trustable
kek, truth thou

pedos are retards. they just trade links to their whatsapp groups on the darknet sites

That's why I said "isnt just for pedos". Obviously if it is truly secure and anonymous degenerates will flock to it. Having a platform who's main user base are kiddyfiddlers is not something I want to be a part of if I'm doing perfect legitimate things, or even lesser crimes such as piracy.

Why this over freenet?

Freenet is capacity limited.

just keep posting this
or someone make a better one because this is somehow confusing to some people

freenet
>good luck inserting anything of significant size into the network, let alone in a timely manner
>there are multiple copies of whatever you insert, but nothing like peers of a torrent
>unpopular things not being actively downloaded die very quickly

this. they're retarded enough to get caught by having javascript enabled

you only hear about retarded pedos because they're the only ones that get caught

> a better protocol
not hard to beat i2p when it comes to protocol fuckyness.
doesn't matter as i2p has more momentum and users.

More hops, more security.
Less hops, more perfomance.

>soon

LEL

freenet doesn't have a native implementation and the devs actively oppose the creation of one.

>Last release: 3 years ago
It seems dead.

It's not.
I've lurked their freenode room for years.
It's quite active, they're just not big on official releases.

>sudo apt-get install gnunet-gtk
Wow, hard.

The only thing wrong with it right now is the UI, fix that and it's easy as shit, especially if you just use it for filesharing. Functionally it's nigh flawless.

Most anime watching faggots don't even use linux
I don't even think they know how to use a terminal
These are the people that continue to shill KCP

If only we had a web ui

Would a Wangblows version be difficult?

if gnunet is already too hard for normies to grasp, i2p is impossible, it won't take off without some retard-proof UI.

if you're installing from the terminal, you might as well use the cli for everything

the output of gnunet-search is the verbatim gnunet-download command you want to run

protip: run searches in the background (with a timeout) and pipe the output to a file

No one cares about Wintards.
They shall not be catered to.
If they can see how great this is and have grown sick of the unusable disgusting prisons, they can step up and join us.

Add to the OP gnunet.org/developerintroduction to bring developers

May add to the pastebin also

@GNUnet - 2009

based GNU net

Capitalize, nigger.

`man gnunet.conf` has a full example, but if you installed the gui package there's a `gnunet-setup` command that will do it for you

the man page had a different bootstrap server that did not work, I had to use the one from here gnunet.org/configuring-hostlist-bootstrap. My main concern is that the instructions on wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNUnet don't seem to work. Just curious how other people are running it on Arch.
