I think this is pretty much dead.

Let me know if you find differently...

Retroshare is a very laggy platform that isn't much good for anything yet (though it is a GREAT concept).

Not really, on anything that looks like Debian and if you are comfy with building from source. You just need to apt-get install a bunch of libs. The latest links against libbitcoin - you need the git stuff, because for some reason, support for Testnet is only 2 weeks old. Wonder how Genjix developed. Must have been expensive, developing on the prod blockchain!!

Anyway, that is about it, assuming that your gcc is 4.7 or newer. Older compilers won't work because they lack the C++11 support libBitcoin requires.

I'd like to test it but it looks to difficult to install on Xubuntu at the moment.

My key for anyone who wishes to play with the Zero Reserve plugin for Retroshare, announced here

please note namecoin is not a dns replacement but a distributed key/value data store system. it can be used to broadcast (encrypted) messages.

Brings Diaspora to mind.

I also hear lots of talk about mesh networks, but there's not enough incentive for that to happen any time soon.

could Namecoin be of use here? have you considered it? http://namecoin.info

It has DHT yes, but that's nothing new i think, the nodes are not visible, just shows the number of RS nodes and the total number of DHT nodes.

If they want to post something it could be one of your friends, or you, or one of your friends friends, or one of your friends friends friends...  etc.

RS is built as an internal friend2friend network, so anonymity only goes to some extent.
Tor is created mainly to provide anonymous access to the internet, which it is quite good at, the hidden services however are horribly slow compared to I2P.
I2P is built as an anonymous internal network and uses a zero-trust philosoply, which is great i think. It can have high speeds but people don't seem to be interested in it somehow, it only has a few active users i think. However it's impossible to tell the amount of users or usage.
Then there's FreeNet, which is also a great tool, they claim to have a fairly big user base (about 20k i think?) but the community also seems very dormant.

I think we're just not getting spied on enough yet for people to look for alternative ways of communicating and sharing information. But that goes for Bitcoin too i guess... Until the shit hits the fan... Then it's too late

Anyway i'll leave the node running for a while see if i can get me a small network.

not even to talk about their bugs, just check out the bugtracker. i used it for some time and its annoying as shit:
DHT = DoS with UDP packets, why broadcasting ur identity only once in DHT, no you have to do this constantly in a loop with unlimited bandwidth
GPG = good idea but always using some malformed implementations (thats why i dont/cant use it anymore, according to the new GPG implementation my pubring is invalid ^^)

im not going to tell more up to that point, if u want more informations, just ask.

The new version has a DHT network and visible nodes? All we had/have was/is our neighbors, who are almost all almost always offline.

Maybe with the ability to see 750 people you don't need to rely on your offline neighbors now?

The thing has crappy anonymity anyway, if you connect to me, you can see who all my neighbors are, so for any of them to be able to post something without you knowing its a direct neighbor of mine posting they;d have to set up a cutout node between me and them, which most people are not likely to do, especially when there are better systems such as Tor and i2p that are better designed from the start.

-MarkM-

I decided to try it, but the damned thing wants to remove my VLC player.

The program just stopped working for me, no matter what I did. I gave up. The firewall thing is annoying too.

Soo, is this bitcoin-retroshare group still alive somewhat?

I lost my gpg key a while ago and i finally got a new retroshare version (thats not f*cked up with failing gpg integration) and a new key.

I'll add everybody above and see who's still alive on there.

I'm a little surprised as how their site shows tens of thousands of downloads, but the DHT network shows only ~750 retroshare nodes... anyone have a theory about why the number is so low compared to the downloads?

Anyway,
My new key is:

Aaaand everyone's offline. This would be a lot more interesting if people used it. I'll be online for a few days, if people start showing up I'll stick around.
