MODERATORS
You appear to have a solid idea as well as some potential proof of concept code which does not appear to have been uploaded to GitHub yet but you don't appear to have posted anything usable yet for the end user.
Are you seeking developers to get passionate about this or are you just trying to draw in future user eyeballs?
Honestly; it isn't clear, and there are already mature technologies that exist that is similar to what you seem to be proposing (see i2p, tor, freenet) which are only suffering from a lack of adoption due to their development being backend first and not being able to focus a lot on usability or glitzy UI.
You look like you could have some good skills with graphical things; have you considered contributing your skills to an existing project?
Hello,
The stack is live my friend! You can use it right now. Download DeCent-Core, install the Decent Messenger DWA from the Github link, and you can send P2P messages this very instant. Video/file transfers calls by next week. There is nothing hypothetical about it, it's a usable prototype and it's only getting more stable with each passing day. This is real, concrete, and usable now on Windows.
Yes, I would like developers to start familiarizing themselves with DWAs as soon as possible. If we can get this off the ground, it would be a very good thing for humanity, the sooner the better.
Web420 has very little in common with existing "alternative Internets", so there is no point in trying to do this there. From the linked article:
There is a bit more detail beyond that in the article as well.
