Could this be implemented in DC++ ???

In short, no.

DC is DC because of its architecture. Keeping that and trying any of the anonymous schemes just doesn't work.

I dont think you know what your talking about GargoyleMT,
And I certainly dont think you know anything of the architectural
solution of anonymity in Entropy. So I take your comment as utter bullcrap.
I am a programmer, your statement does not sound very smart to me.

Some serious comments please ?

Ah well, if you don't think GargoyleMT knows what he is talking about, this thread is pretty dead. You do realise he is one of the lead developers on DC++? Ah the stupidity..

Anyway, I've seen no signs of interest in Jacek to recreate DC++ with a primary goal of anonymity and a distributed architecture.

If you know him better, or know otherwise, that's fine.

But it is fundamentally true that the decentralized, but private-hub centered architecture of DC++, including its slot and share rules, is what helps attract the users sharing quality content that other networks lack. I base that on my experience with WinMX, eMule, and Shareaza.

If you changed DC++ to connect to a global distributed network, it has essentially become another Gnutella1, Mike's Protocol, or FastTrack network. You have none of the DC plusses, and all the minuses that the other networks put up with. But you now have anonymity. w00t.

Xan: Entropy appears to be essentially an (emphasizing filesharing? I'm not actually sure) interface to Freenet. Its anonymity derives from that.

I am a programmer,(You need either a semicolon or a conjunction here.) your statement does not sound very smart to me.

It comes off as rather amusing, and helps undermines your credibility, when you're criticizing a comment for not sounding smart.

I think this thread should be locked, before another hurt developer posts a reply as stupid as the one above. At least Xan's post was on topic.. ffs col!

cologic does attack the poster's grammar, but he also has a good point about the freenet base being the true derivation of the anonymity.

This thread could be quite useful yet, there's no cause to lock it.
