I'd like to see this technology used to build a decentralized, uncensorable alternative to twitter or reddit.

That would have a far greater impact than yet another file-sharing system.

The architecture would basically be a flooding P2P network with measures against spamming (machine learning?).



There's the Freenet Messaging System: http://blog.locut.us/2008/05/11/fms-spam-proof-anonymous-mes...


Now thats an idea! The web as it should be - Uncensored!


Wouldn't this require each computer on any receiving end to process all of the incoming data in order to determine if it's spam or not?


All of it, no, only the data coming from peers. Peers would only repeat data if they consider it good.

Also, you could also select peers for the quality of the content they forward to you.
