Apparently this has sparked an exciting philosophical debate on social graph reverse resolution: https://gnunet.org/gns-reverse-ideas I would please ask you to come down from your ivory towers for the following reasons: 1. Such a reverse resolution method *would* be a local operation if gnunet-social and gnunet-psycstore were actually functional and all the appropriate subscriptions in place. In other words: You are re-inventing secushare. 2. In that blog post you are discussing a "public" social graph like PGP's. That is a not exactly futuristic idea and very much inferior privacy-wise to the private social graph planned by secushare. 3. To make GNS work with existing applications I simply asked to teach gnunet-exit to return the same names that were used by gnunet-vpn to build those tunnels in the first place. The rest of the challenge is then dealt by secushare's pubsub structures. So all we need to move forward is: 1. The closing of that feature request by implementing just the resolution of *known* addresses, in a simple and fast way. 2. Fixing the bugs in gnunet-social or anything below so that we can avoid having to use older software just because it works. Thanks a lot for the recent fixes in CADET, Bart. Haven't tried out if they magically get everything working again, yet, but I am hopeful. Who knows, maybe gnunet-social starts working. -- E-mail is public!
