Decentralized Internetz

There are a lot of anonymous/decentralized internet clients/projects and whatnots. I figured instead of making a thread for each and everyone of them, we could discuss them all on this one thread, give our opinions on them, advice us which ones are the best, ect. Currently these are the ones that have flown into my radar >tor everyone already knows this one! most mainstream way of accessing the deep web https://www.torproject.org/ >i2p second most popular way of using the deep web. the main difference between this and tor is that i2p doesn't have a server host, all the websites are peer-to-peer! https://geti2p.net/en/ >zeronet pretty similar to i2p but easier to navigate https://zeronet.io/ >anonet here's where things start to get pretty weird. I haven't actually used this one, so I don't know what it looks like or how to install it. if you want to try, be my guest http://www.anonet.org/ >openweb network I don't know what to say about this one. It requires you to install a chrome extension (already a big red flag but I guess you could just use chromium instead of google chrome). It seems like you need to pay with etherum in order to host your websites. The idea seems interesting, but I have not been able to find any websites in this deep web https://openweb.network/

>>16646 >tor Is not decentralized, nodes need to coordinate with directory authority servers which are maintained by the Tor project. >the main difference between this and tor is that i2p doesn't have a server host, all the websites are peer-to-peer! This is incorrect. Eepsites are just webservers which accept connections through the i2p network, exactly the same as onion sites. >pretty similar to i2p but easier to navigate Zeronet is not similar to i2p in any way except they are both p2p. Must importantly Zeronet is not anonymous or private whereas i2p is. Please do at least a little bit of research before posting complete garbage.

>>16653 Your fuarrrking OP I love you.

>>16652 first time I've ever heard of yggdrasil. Seems pretty neat, I like the routing algorithm better than cjdns's

>datprotocol https://datproject.org/

>Freenet freenetproject.org The best and only free alternative to the clearnet.

>InterPlanetary File System https://ipfs.io/

bumping for great justice

This is probably at best laterally related to what y'all are talking about, but damn if it isn't pretty interesting: https://hackaday.io/project/164092-npr-new-packet-radio

>>16688 This is one of the coolest implementations I've seen so far. No need for some buttcoin, just file sharing, which is what is important about the internet. The browser, beaker is cool in that it allows you to deploy a website pretty effortlessly. The forking of existing websites should be the source of great creativity. It's still buggy though, but I'm not complaining.
