Hello and thanks for making this community!

I would like to ask a question, I’m the creator of the Tenfingers sharing protocol, and a decentralised FOSS implementation of it.

You can basically have a decentralised web site or share data with anyone.

Would it be appropriate to post asking for help here? Testing and ideas for the future mostly I guess.

Cheers

    As someone who wouldn’t use this to spread terabytes of pirated media to others, could this hypothetically be used to spread terabytes of pirated media to others?

      Well, theoretically then, it’s not made to handle terabytes in terabyte chunks (as when you share, someone else is needed to have something to share roughly the same size), it’s more thought for megabyte chunks of stuff, like a website. Downloading/uploading would be hasardous too for a TB chunk as most people only have megabit speed internet.

      So it’s not that it isn’t possible, but you would probably have to chunk up any (legal) data in say 1GB chunks, so that your chunks get shared. If everyone shares 1GB videos of their holidays (for example), it would work easily because your chunks would have people needing to share them.

      Edit: edited for clarity
