This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm working on a decentralised sharing protocol, so that anyone can have their own website, I just have to find some people interested in testing it out ๐Ÿ˜Š

That sounds super interesting! Can you link me/tell me how that works networking wise at a high level? I've been poking at a number of distributed compute and decentralized software lately just because every single one has its own unique solutions to the various chicken/egg problems that decrentalization pose

Okay, so in the most simple way, the protocol is based on "I share yours, and you share mine".

That means you run a little node connected to the internet, sharing other peoples "things" (it's all encrypted so you don't know whatever it is) and their nodes share your website. Add oversharing (you share say 10 different data from 10 different nodes, and they all share yours) and you have a robust presence too.

You can then share your website with a simple link.

I say website but you can share whatever you want, daily information, backup things, your holiday photos, anything really.

You can check it out on https://tenfingers.org (some more technical information can be found in the whitepaper available there too). There is a fully functioning implementation BTW.

Would you mind sharing what those chicken and egg problems are? To see if I navigated them well :-)

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to do my best to answer them ofc.

Awesome name! And even more awesome concept! Will test it out first chance!

Thank you!

I set up a sub at lemmy.mindoki.com/c/tenfingers if you want to share how it went... Or if you have questions and whatnot ofc :-)
