Would love to see an update on this

"I think Reddit might be the only large company that kept its API" Welp, that didn't age very well.

I've been using your service for a couple of years now and it's wonderful! It's good to know how e-mail addresses propagate and see companies squirm when you ask them how they got your e-mail address and confront them with their lies (turns out some companies even pay for illegally obtained data, such as data leaks/hacks). Furthermore, websites and webshops don't *need* to know my actual e-mail address (or even my real name for that matter) and 33mail is one of very few services that allow you to make aliases on the fly, without the need to create it in some portal first. I've decided to start paying for the premium subscription as I feel that good services that I'm really satisfied with deserve to get paid for it. It's not much, but I hope it helps to keep the service running.

TL;DW how does it compare with Qortal?

Are keys/contracts immutable?

There are proof-of-work protocols that aren't energy intensive that could be used. Monero would be one example.

Interesting stuff

Any chance that some madman is rewriting freenet in a modern language (let's say RUST)

Would it be possible to utilize Locutus to make a decentralized multiplayer game?

Will it be available on windows?

There are many similar platform-ideas like this; where you can build "dapps" and whatnot, but which one is the best? Shouldn't step one be a great comparison-movement; evaluating pros and cons of various approaches/implementations/use-cases incl feasibility for mass adoption/cross-app-functionality/security/speed etc?

Seems very similar to ZeroNet

Saw your interview with Louis Rossman, and now the almighty algorithm deems you interesting to me lol. It's not wrong... but I have a question: One of the advantages of IPFS over a client/server model or even traditional CDNs, is its awareness of network topology, which minimizes overall network congestion. If two people in the same house, or the same university LAN, want to access the same file, the first one caches it and serves it to subsequent requests. Does Locutus give any weight to physical routes like this when it assigns a node's location on the ring? Because of course, on the other end of the spectrum from IPFS, is Tor, which creates lots of duplicate traffic over many networks in the name of anonymity. But if anonymity is not a first-order goal of Locutus, is it necessary to limit/randomize/obfuscate the assignment of a location? Why not optimize the efficiency of the routing? Or, if one wanted to create/allow an anonymity layer, is there a way to emulate what Tor does and negotiate a new cryptographic exchange at each hop? Forgive me if I made false assumptions, I'm just discovering this project. I love the idea though, and I hope it goes well. Next stop, github!

How can you have relative reputation? A single entity may have rep A in context A but rep B in context B.

Very interesting project. I'm only 2 minutes in, but you said something like how primitive the internet was in 2000, no social media, etc. I was on IRC and Usenet in the early 90s. Was there just not an interest in implementing these kinds of communication channels for Freenet?

Have you considered creating relative reputation scores based on clustering instead of an absolute reputation for all users? How are you going to prevent users from being identified/spied on through the feedback interactions and reputation scores, maybe a time delay and a differential privacy algorithm?

Is it fair to say that the key being made out of a piece of web assembly code is a process that is unique in both its identity and its function simultaneously? Is this function an efficiency advantage distinct from the small world benefits? Does the key being web code mean the material costs in maintaining an authorship node, scales revolutionary based on the simplicity/efficiency of the decentralized apps created for it? Can apps, if coded succinctly enough, live sustainably across relatively fewer keys than a less efficient application? (I'm assuming applications are distributed across children instead of clones) If the key, itself, carries information, can it be checked by its validity, utility, and its identity? This sounds like unimaginably tiny painters being traded as currency to coordinate resource distribution.😁❤️👍 Please sir, may I trade you my tiny painter, for your tiny painter, so we may trade on forever more tiny painters? They accidentally paint us useful pictures, but they will make good couriers on their way. Oh the wonders, of tiny painters.

30:30 I love a decentralized email idea! I also would love to see decentralized VOTING if possible? How can we create a system where we know that our votes are cryptographically counted? These hackable Windows XP voting machines need to be tossed in the trashcan if we want to maintain election security. I'm hyperbolizing, but you get the idea that I am trying to convey against closed source voting machines...

This is very impressive and promising. Could enable "web2.5" use-cases where the underlying data and infra are decentralized, but companies can build centralized indexers on top to compete with tech monopolies.

sounds like GUN with smart contracts and also react is soy

Looks like AR.

You're real life Richard Hendricks and I love that

Excited for August 2022

Question: How does Locutus differ from Holo? Would the differences be a benefit or detriment to either projects?

This is beautiful
