right, perhaps i should put more consideration in late night
posts, as i forgot to write down what the program is all about.
what we're going to write is a strongly anonymous distributed
chan and yes i'm 100% serious about this. i am going to write
this anyways since i can and i want to program something which
could have merit.
some terminology: a 'server' here means a single server that is
running behind a tor hidden service, the 'serverid' is the
hostname of that service (3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion). a
'network' means a collection of servers working together by
mirroring each other's posts.
I'll start with some requirements:
* anyone should be able to run a server and configure it to
mirror posts from other servers.
* it should be mathematically impossible for anyone to trace
the identity of a participant (user, server operator).
* the protocol itself should be simple enough that a simple
server can be implemented be the average /prog/rider in a few
hours.
