So from a realistic point of view, centralization creates unsolvable problems related to trust, privacy and censorship. or is it?
can cryptography solve those problems while remaining scalable?
or do we need to shift to a different architecture for some important fields like file hosting or finance?
can a p2p architecture provide a superior performance for the same cost, when using cryptocurrencies to use idle cpu power that can be allocated and transmitted?
do we need more bandwidth on average for that to be realistic?
what programming language are well suited for such field?
no because p2p systems are usually harder to engineer and doesn't yield greater profits. cheap and familiar > fickle and esoteric unless there's a compelling and broad (read: not muh NSAZ reading muh shitposts, most people dgaf) argument against the former.
Dylan Bailey
p2p is for sure much more complex to play with, but that might be because we focused and refined client/server architecture because it made more sense at the time.
now we have a different world and different technologies.
>not muh NSAZ reading muh shitposts, most people dgaf well, it seems to me that privacy is becoming an increasingly important subject...google being seen as "evil"? china becoming literal dystopia? governement that starts censoring and making laws to reduce freedom on the internet, both on us and eu? facebook having VERY bad press even among normies? computer illiteracy decreasing as old people keeps being replaced by the youth? I can go on, point is centralization creates another kind of demand.
compelling and broad incentive? money. with a p2p architecture you can sell unused ressources on your computer (space, cpu if you happen to be in a situation where you have cheap or wasted energy, this happens in some particular places).
Cameron Martinez
Nobody cares about privacy until it's too late. People still use Facebook. Enough said.

>p2p This shit again When you have cables connecting p2p then we'll talk
Otherwise there will always be a centralized element
Nathaniel Watson
has to come from a wireless technology. not sure if this exists yet.
Tyler Brown
Just read the GNUnet documentation, answers all your questions.
Cubans did it.
Jose Robinson
>Cubans did it. Only because they have no other choice.
Adam Butler
And they did it with piss poor technology. Maybe if OP wasn't such a lazy ass he would do it too. Pic related.
