Yes, it has to do with networks. It establishes direct communication between 2 peers. ... There are some 3rd party servers involved at the moment, because you need to find other peers. > One of TiddyWiki's basic ideas is to be free of external dependencies and > work on its own.

As soon as your browser is running, it also can be a host if the user wants it. If someone else knows the ID = dat://<address> they can connect to your archive and load the content. They can only read the info. ... The only person, that can write to a dat archive is the "private key" owner. > Can the ID be generated offline or do I have to register it on an online > server? > The ID is generated offline. Either in the browser (that supports it) or with an external command line program. There are some efforts going on atm, to allow browsers to read / write dat archives. TiddlyWiki already contains a default saver, that is able to save, if you use the beaker browser. ... others will follow in the future. -------------------- The OP discusses the need to create a serial number. ... The problem is, that this number is only unique within 1 TW. ... That's the same as with tiddler titles. ... The dat://<address> is unique by default. .. It belongs to 1 user. So in combination with a dat://<address> a tiddler title can be universal unique. ... Including it's history. ... That's only 1 reason, why I'm so excited about the dat-project. have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
