>How does it work?
When you visit a new zeronet site, it tries to find peers using the BitTorrent network so it can download the site files (html, css, js...) from them. Each visited site is also served by you. Every site contains a content.json file which holds all other files in a sha512 hash and a signature generated using the site's private key. If the site owner (who has the private key for the site address) modifies the site, then he/she signs the new content.json and publishes it to the peers. Afterwards, the peers verify the content.json integrity (using the signature), they download the modified files and publish the new content to other peers.

!BE PREPARED FOR GLOWIES TERRIFIED OF DECENTRALIZATION TO START IMMEDIATELY GASLIGHTING ABOUT WHY YOU SHOULDN'T USE ZERONET!
What WILL happen in the next posts: >glowies will flood the thread IMMEDIATELY shilling with CNN talking points >fantasy fan fiction with no source for (((reasons))) why you should not use it >get EXTREMELY mad when called out
Obviously, if they spooked you with the FUD use Tor. For all else, mute any retard you see uploading content you don't want to see/d.
Benjamin White
Can I use it to browse Jow Forums?
Eli Thompson
>glowies will flood the thread IMMEDIATELY shilling with CNN talking points >fantasy fan fiction with no source for (((reasons))) why you should not use it >get EXTREMELY mad when called out Your butthurt is showing.

Read the OP before asking mind numbing beyond retarded questions please. It begins.
Austin Butler

Carter Walker
newfag shill inb4'ing as op, sage
Jaxon Richardson
Please post the decentralized network that you coded on a superior language. >get EXTREMELY mad when called out
Christopher Baker
> Please post the decentralized network that you coded on a superior language. It's not a good argument. I have a shitty router with 4Gb RAM and 1037u CPU. I don't think any python app will work there with decent performance.
Gavin Cox
can you crawl it with YaCy?
Wyatt Carter
Zeronet is pretty comfy.
Joshua Reed
You are the one getting mad kek.
I think someone tried to hack in support years ago but it never really got anywhere.
Samuel Morales
Wait, so everyone can post as they please, or they post it via some server scripts? Can you ban on such a website? How do you prevent people from posting cp? You need captcha, or expect wipes daily.
Liam Adams
> Last time i went on ZeroNet in 2017/18 it was literally 60% Chinese people
Jace Johnson
sadly china figure out how to block zeronet.
Lucas Russell
that was your fault you didn't inb4 OP can't inb4
Jose Bailey
Alright, since it's being shilled so much. Did they fix the fundamental design flaw that allowed something like enumerating everything someone has ever done thanks to immutable permanent public IDs, or something similar I don't quite remember?
Because reminder that IPFS and Gnunet both exist and have never had such flaws in the first place. The former has to be routed through i2p, the latter has anonymity built in but is less developed.
Jayden Hughes
>Password-less BIP32 based authorization: Your account is protected by the same cryptography as your Bitcoin wallet how about like, you know not using an account
Ryan Reed
really? I stopped using it because China was pretty much taking it over but that's unfortunate. I wonder how they managed to do that
Owen White
it's a blank wallet, it just uses the same public/private key format as btc because that had been proven secure for many years
Austin Brooks
>Please post the decentralized network that you coded on a superior language. Do you have to be a master chef to know food is bad? Saying "do x better then complain" has no merit.
I think this is neat though. Good work.
Xavier Barnes
It's there exactly to be easy to mute people, but you can go around that (fresh vm image with clean install will generate new zeroID, so if you're not planning on hosting a site you want to update later just do that)
Brayden Jackson
how about like, you know not using individual keys
why does a transport level protocol need to implement authentication? that should be entirely up to the application(s)
Josiah Gray
>they will never take down Jow Forums, there is no need to worry! Everywhere else is just a bunch of pedos! YOU WILL BE IN PRISON BEFORE YOU KNOW IT!
imagine being at computers so fat you look and see food
Brody Ward
>Please post the decentralized network that you coded on a superior language ipfs
Cooper Martinez
Thats for files, you retarded crayon muncher.
Benjamin Price
whats the difference between a file and a website
Jason Morris
And what's HTTP for, genius?
Ayden Lee
because that's how you update your websites, the address is the public key and you push updates with the private key. otherwise anyone seeding your site could tamper with it or take it over
Nathan Baker
HTTP is for files too Oh no I guess the internet can't exist
Eli Nelson
This looks interesting. Feels like a return to form to the old internet with personal webpages instead of everyone going to YT/FB/Ggl.
I might give this a try.
William Reyes
>has to use a centralized ID server to stop spamming Nice decentralized network, fag.
Jackson Parker
just make a new identity?
Asher Rivera
beautiful. the internet has been needing this for a long time.
Brayden Nelson
Go back to /b/ please. >fantasy fan fiction with no source for (((reasons))) why you should not use it
Levi Lee
>sadly china figure out how to block zeronet fantastic news for everyone. that's the jew's plan. they will never win.
Nathan Gomez
calm down terry
Michael Cox
>fantastic news for everyone. Oh cool yes because a blockable, censorable network is exactly what everyone here wants. Thank goodness zeronet fits that!
Ethan Howard
how can I use it with Tor? any user here can link me to a tutorial or something? thanks!
>no reasons not to use it If you are rooting for decentralization, using a single point of failure centralized authentication server is pretty hypocritical.
Kayden Wright
Any sites that I should visit on ZeroNet besides porn stuff?
I can't get it to connect to 127.0.0.1:43110 I tried forwarding my ports, installing different python versions and disabling windows firewall but nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
Anything interesting on there other than inf chan and cp?
Kevin Scott
>Anything interesting ZeroNet itself is whats interesting IMO, we are in the early stages of taking back the internet from them. You can be a part of it now or wait until they take down Jow Forums too.
Luis Bailey
Yeah, no different in Edge, Firefox or Chrome. I also tried running it as admin, running the py files directly, changing the DNS server, running on tor and some other shit but had no luck.
Justin Torres
I called to police you dirty pedos.
Benjamin Richardson
FUD
Nicholas Garcia
are you legitimately this fucking retarded
Caleb Butler
No, but you are, seeing as you can't differentiate between a system to deliver big files and a system to deliver fast, updateable, responsive webpages.
Austin Jones
without i2p zeronet is just bittorrent on steroids like ipfs. i'll wait the fully i2p integration, unlike the tor half assed.
Tyler Perry
Bittorrent isn't a super safe anonymous protocol. What happens if I sharing a website and it just so happens to have illegal content on it, wouldn't I be inadvertently be sharing illegal content? This concerns me. I've never used Zeronet, so I don't know if you gotta opt-in to sharing any particular website or what. I stopped torrenting movies and games several years ago. I'm clean as a whistle.
Wyatt Young
keep on falseflagging then, my jew friend
Ethan Miller
>zeronet is just bittorrent on steroids like ipfs. You are a retard. >so I don't know if you gotta opt-in to sharing any particular website or what You only seed what you see, you have to opt-in to do it "en masse". You can also mute any user forever and delete all his files from your seed with a single click. You can also delete an entire "Zite" from your seed with a single click, don't believe the FUD they are fucking terrified of a web they can't control.
Isaac Wilson
I'm finding really difficult these days to believe that a Certain piece of software cannot be compromised by government.
So, I'll not play with fire until and unless I understand it completely in and out.
Owen Carter
Will I encounter more freedom lovers than on this cancerous shithole site?
This, can't wait for i2p with ipfs integration. inb4 java i2p is also implemented in c++ and go
Connor Ross
Reverse glowies exist?
Elijah Price
Can someone with zeronet confirm if there is a CP board on 08 chan or not? Last thread was deleted before I could get an answer. Here: twitter.com/drefanzor/status/1158854795588845569 shows there is but one user from the other thread posted a screenshot with no such thing. Is it glowniggers spreading FUD or not? I'd rather not end up with pedo shit on my pc
>doxing Getting IPs available to everyone is not doxing, faggot.
Anthony Gray
post your IP then if you have nothing to hide
Alexander Smith
Yes, there is one, you can just not access it and click the board name to block it entirely from ever downloading. If no one seeds, it dies.
Kevin Gonzalez
>Fast ;^)
Matthew White
For you to lmaodenialofserviceXD me? Nope.
Ryan Lewis
And thus you see the problem with Zeronet
Andrew Turner
Oh yes, someone is going to launch denial of service attacks against thousands of IPs... Are you fucking retarded?
Christopher Gomez
you do realize zeronet works over tor, right?
Owen Ward
not particularly well, and it seems most people aren't using tor and instead are just using zeronet in the clear. Hence: retards
Owen Cooper
Why would anyone care if they aren't posting or hosting illegal shit?
Benjamin Reed
because the moment you visit something that has illegal shit, whether or not you intended to, you're now hosting illegal shit
Elijah Ross
Videos and full images need user confirmation to be seeded, it's not automatic. You can delete and mute users, boards and sites.
Henry Jackson
not particularly well? huh? but yeah, your argument about most people using zeronet from their home ip is correct, but for the most part it isn't an issue until you get to a site like cripchan where you'll have crazy lefty twitter retards trying to ddos or exploit or further dox people for posting on it. however: it wont show individual post ips, and they could be getting a fellow lefty seeding a thread/board (theres always anti pol fags in every pol thread, or leftpol, etc) so just collecting all ips isn't exactly useful for them.
the media (user images, webms) you have to manually click to dl/seed. otherwise you're only seeding the main site, and you can hide each board which won't make you seed any part of it or dl it onto your computer. so it's not an instant seed.
Carson Baker
How do we deal with freedom agents uploading cp?
Anthony Collins
Why do 08ch cp boards even exist like just block the board nigga lmao like
Oliver Brooks
call them niggers
Hudson Flores
God i wish that were me
Caleb Scott
there is a porn site blacklist which blocks all the porn sites id recommend that to keep away from the cp
I'm a brainlet but since deepnude is a thing couldn't someone just develop an AI that runs next to your zeronet and automatically mute all images it perceives as pornographic? Based on the thumbnail? Then you would for sure never host any of that garbage
Grayson Rivera
the auth server is decentralized tho. and there's a bunch to choose from or you can just clone one I need to load up my old znet boxes but there are some good ones, will add to thread later or make a new one
Wyatt Reed
the only thing from bitcoin is the pub/priv key format
Tyler Allen
so run it in a whonix vm. I thought you guys were good with tech WTF happened to this board
You can also run it on a vps and have a password protected login for you and a few trusted friends. Gitgud
Jacob Robinson
>board you mean website
Cooper Murphy
The same problem torrent has, the most used protocol on earth.
Evan Cooper
You only seed what you see, you have to opt-in to do it "en masse". You can also mute any user forever and delete all his files from your seed with a single click. You can also delete an entire "Zite" from your seed with a single click, don't believe the FUD they are fucking terrified of a web they can't control.
Jackson Scott
whole chans being represented as Jow Forums >2 whole chans being represented by their most popular and influential board* /b/ userbase (what made Jow Forums known) grew up and moved to Jow Forums They are terrified of Jow Forums because it has a big influence IRL.
Isaac Hernandez
>so run it in a whonix vm. I thought you guys were good with tech WTF happened to this board They are not Jow Forums anons, they are paid glowies that spread FUD to stop people from using ZeroNet, thats why they know jackshit about tech.
Bentley Brooks
>This, can't wait for i2p with ipfs integration ipfs can't do what ZeroNet does, it wasn't designed to.
Juan Clark
TURN OFF INTERNET I SAID TURN OFF INTERNET THERE ARE ILLEGAL STUFF THERE!
Honestly this ID to mute people sounds dumb. >be normal user >have lax opsec >be tracked half the time >be pedo >reset ID between every post because you're used to being paranoid >probably develop a helper plugin or even fork to auto-reset it easier, or use one it someone else ever makes one >be impossible to mute, filter or track
