Hello, I’m Valmond creator of the Tenfingers sharing protocol & implementation.

To make it more motivating for people to try it out, what should I share to showcase its abilities? It can be rougly anything up to say a gigabyte.

I’m thinking about music, video, parts of wikipedia, …

Legal of course.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Cheers & thanks!

    your reaction makes me more confident that this may turn into something interesting :)

    i take it then that files must have some ownership information associated with them, to distinguish the author from a relay node? or is that just a private key.

      Thanks!

      The file does have an ownership information (the public RSA key of the owner), it’s just that a malicious node doesn’t show any proof of ownership of the data it’s sending (which causes the problem). I think I have a straight forward solution but I’ll ponder it a bit more before digging in :-) I’d like to have the possibility to download from several nodes at once which makes things a bit more interesting.

      Would you mind if I copy paste this conversation over to tenfingers@lemmy.mindoki.com ? I guess here it will disappear in the abyss…

      Cheers

      Valmond

        sure, do that. and good luck with this, i did something similar for a project once and as usual its those last 5% that are going to cost you 90% of the time.
