Hi Mohammed, The first thing you can do is educate yourself about exactly how Freenet works in detail if you haven't done so already. Generally speaking, you can help Freenet by: 1. Adding interesting content 2. Running a node, spreading awareness, getting people to use it 3. Making or

If I understand correctly, you pick a task that nobody has time to do. You then outsource that task. People then compete for your money with their solutions. It's like TopCoder but you get paid to win! Awesome. On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 9:24 PM, Daxter wrote: > That's a very interesting platform

I wonder if there's a competitive debugging phase like in TopCoder. Holy crap, that would be awesome! At any rate, imho Freenet needs to do this now that the resident expert has dedicated his time to school. On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 9:28 PM, Michael Grube wrote: > If I understand correctly,

[freenet-dev] Freenet Revival?

Somewhat related, myself and some people at the local hackerspace are getting involved in evaluating what Freenet has vs what we'd like to see, then going out and implementing it. Good things are about to happen! On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 11:08 AM, Ian Clarke wrote: > Anyone familiar with this

[freenet-dev] Using hardware to secure opennet; was: Would you pay to join opennet?

For what it's worth, I think there is some potential here. If Freenet were tweaked to favor performance slightly over cryptography and anonymous routing(I'm not suggesting we get rid of these things completely), it might be worth attempting to sell as a very cheap cloud service. There is a

PR Stuff

Hi Dev List, I've been quietly running a very small PR campaign and would like to make some data visible to people. I think the results are encouraging. Since January I've done 3 things to promote Freenet: Gave a brief introduction to Freenet primitives and a very very basic runthrough of
