Everyone is welcome to post here, whether it is a question, an idea, a research project, news, or content found elsewhere as long as it is of interest for the global project of moving on to a P2P world.

The P2P Foundation studies and promotes P2P practices, while building a knowledge commons: the P2P Foundation wiki at www.p2pfoundation.net

In the wiki, researchers, activists, entrepreneurs, and global citizens in general can expand their understanding through in-depth knowledge and research about the growing P2P universe.

Plebble

Hi,

I am developing a new P2P network, which is already running. It's my remake of bitcoin.
Anyone would like to run a node in a raspberry pi?
Based on a new consensus algorithm I call cooperative consensus, where all nodes compute the same block.
There are no miners (or alternatively all nodes are miners) and **Every node** receives a share of the fees/subsidy.
I hope you like it.
Code at github. all links at r/plebble

I'd love to answers questions.

Thank you

https://ww2.unipark.de/uc/MakerspaceUsers/?a=1

GERMAN version:

https://ww2.unipark.de/uc/MakerspaceUsers/?a=2

CONTENT OF THE SURVEY

  1. Makerspace usage

  2. Collaboration experience and interests

  3. Collaboration expectations

  4. Demographics

BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATION

• We will donate 1.00 € for each completed survey to the Maker Community (www.makervsvirus.org/spenden/)

• You help us to improve our Makerspace

• You can get a summary of results

A few more words on my background:
I do my PhD in the field of Makerspaces and open innovation processes at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Furthermore, I work at the Lichtwerkstatt Makerspace which has a strong focus on light and optics (photonics). With the Lichtwerkstatt Makerspace we support projects that make photonics technology more affordable and accessible for everyone. One of the projects in our Makerspace is UC2. A modular optical toolbox that allows you to build your own microscope and many other optical systems. It uses 3D-printing and is open source. More info on that project you can find here: https://useetoo.org/home/and on GitHub https://github.com/bionanoimaging/UC2-GIT.

Thanks, David

P2P Exchange Survey

Hi everyone,

I am reaching out on behalf of LinkCoin, which is a P2P Exchange based in Toronto, Canada. We have heard a lot of conflicting opinions about KYC and its role on P2P Exchanges, and we wanted to get some opinions from the market! It would be a huge help to the whole LinkCoin team if you could take some time to fill out this VERY short survey. It is literally 2 questions so it will take less then 2 minutes to complete.

Thank you in advance and looking forward to seeing your feedback!

What's the latest on decentralized social networks?

My intuition is that the emphasis on decentralization efforts has shifted from replacing silos to more specific functions. But as a die-hard Facebork boycotter I still hope for a comprehensive alternative. Something with which I can say "I'm not on F**k but add me on _" without having to launch a lengthy conversation about how to use it.

I'm secretly fielding whether I should start yet another decentralized social platform. (yadsop? names are hard.)

An Open Thesis: Open Design as a Platform for Social Innovation

Hi Everybody.

As part of my final year at the KABK (Royal Academy of Art) in The Hague, I have written my final thesis. The subject is about ‘open design’ and the powerful influence it’s having on society, and as a result I’m offering open access to the material I have written. You may build upon, share, modify how you see fit or simply read a chapter and still have an understanding of the influencing open design is creating. It’s totally up to you.

Understandably there is a perception of open design being only something that technology has provided us, yet there is little focus on the analogue side and more importantly from a social attitude within the community. In saying that I would be most appreciative if anybody wanted to write something about it or contribute to the piece, whether you love it, hate it, indifferent, find an area wrong or you disagree completely about the topic. It's really about allowing and building in different perspective into one melting pot. All contributions are welcome and they will be placed in the final publication. If you use it in any different way, I would also be most appreciative of how you have modified or improved it. Again this is totally up to you. If you know anybody that would like to ready you are also open to sending it to them.

Cheers.

Here is the link below: Open Design as a Platform for Social Innovation

And you can also view it as separate chapters: Here are the links below.

01 - The Substance Beneath

02 – The Liquid Network

03 – Attacking the Digital Divide

04 – Redistributing Power

05 – The Expanding Possibilities

06 – A New Perspective

07 – The Connected Environment

08 – The New Democracy

09 – Nurturing a New Paradigm

What is the smallest simplest reliable way to send 1 byte between any 2 distant home internet connections?

It takes just a few lines of code to upload and download from normal websites, but not everyone has their own IPv4 address so its a different process between 2 people running the same program on their desktop/laptop trying to reach eachother.

The process has become tangled and hard to know whats happening. I dont need an efficient solution since I can make it faster on my own after I see something that works reliably. If you give me a link to a 1 megabyte framework, then I'd like an explanation why it takes 1 megabyte of code to send 1 byte.
