Hey, that sounds familiar :) - you probably know Stefan Braun, don't you? Either I've missed an email for him or... could you maybe bump him for me, about the slides of his presentation about tahoe-lafs :)? > > Am 23.07.2011 03:10, schrieb Linus Lüssing: > > Hi everyone, > > > > I've recently started looking at Tahoe-LAFS and I'm currently > > trying to get a feeling of how it works.

Yes, and together with the early payment integration ideas, like having a way to integrate it with bitcoin, that might actually help against several attacks, like spam, storage DDoSing or selfish users a public grid would face otherwise. And together with a decentral concept for the currently central introducer node, I bet it would go in the direction of THE one and only public grid (though there are still some things I'm probably missing, sorry, I'm quite knew to tahoe-lafs :) ). Anyway, are you connected to dn42 in St. Gallen? We should currently be connected to it here at Freifunk Lübeck (though I haven't done any tests of it yet, done not if it actually works here :D). If you are or could get connected, maybe we could connect our tahoe-lafs nodes for the testing purpose? You should be able to reach our introducer within dn42 at 10.130.0.16: https://krtek.asta.uni-luebeck.de/meutewiki/MetaMeuteMesh/StorageGrid (though if it is reachable within dn42, it's probably better to move such an entry to the dn42 wiki later - after having verified that it works as expected, which is not the case yet) > > best regards > > Marco Cheers, Linus > _______________________________________________ > tahoe-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev > _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
