Hello, I’m Valmond creator of the Tenfingers sharing protocol & implementation.

To make it more motivating for people to try it out, what should I share to showcase its abilities? It can be rougly anything up to say a gigabyte.

I’m thinking about music, video, parts of wikipedia, …

Legal of course.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Cheers & thanks!

    Thanks!

    The file does have an ownership information (the public RSA key of the owner), it’s just that a malicious node doesn’t show any proof of ownership of the data it’s sending (which causes the problem). I think I have a straight forward solution but I’ll ponder it a bit more before digging in :-) I’d like to have the possibility to download from several nodes at once which makes things a bit more interesting.

    Would you mind if I copy paste this conversation over to tenfingers@lemmy.mindoki.com ? I guess here it will disappear in the abyss…

    Cheers

    Valmond

      sure, do that. and good luck with this, i did something similar for a project once and as usual its those last 5% that are going to cost you 90% of the time.

        Thank you!

        Ya, there was a saying in video game dev circles, when you have finished 90% of a game, that’s good, because now you only have the other 90% to do…

        What was that project, if you’d like to share?

          it was nothing official, just a toy file sharing thing using the chord dht algorithm. it consisted of a single binary that you fed with a directory and the IP of an extant member, and it would sync everything on the network into that directory.

          no edge cases handled, so the 90% remained.
