Hi Michael,
thank you for these stimulating questions.
I'll try to take them up one at a time.
1) About the propaganda: my guess is that people bookmarking their own
site(s) is to be expected. However, I don't think this should be a cause for
concern since the bookmarks would only spread if other people found them
useful; thereby limiting the spread of useless 'spam'.
2) Anonymity is a very big issue today. In my experience with P2P this
doesn't cause me too much concern. 'Nick names' don't really associate with
'real names' or 'real faces'. This is true at least for the general public.
There are, of course, ways to find out that 'nick name', say Aztec45,
belongs to Joe Smith, but this requires illegal hacking which can be
deterred with high security.
3) I have no code. My concepts are limited to metaphysics, philosophy,
theoretical science, a tinge of mysticism and the arts.
4) I don't think that G/DNA will absorb every network client as if all at
once. Like other P2P applications (napster, morpheus, etc.) the switch will
be made by individual choice. They would choose to download G/DNA (perhaps
from download.com or something similar) and then run it on their personal
computer. If G/DNA catches on then it will not be people downloading it by
the single digits but by the hundreds.
5) My name is Jeremy Kerouac.
I live with Paul Chaves who is my friends brother.
Hope this is clarifying,
Jeremy Kerouac.
