>What is GNUnet?
GNUnet is a fully decentralised p2p framework for a number of applications, the most commonly used one (probably) is filesharing
More info:
https://gnunet.org/goals
https://gnunet.org/concepts
>Why use GNUnet over private trackers?
Private trackers:
>have to keep up a seed ratio or you're thrown out
>have to attach an account to your searches and requests
>have to trust that the private tracker's owner won't leak your details anywhere
>uploading must be approved
GNUnet:
>no seeding requirement
>no account needed
>no trusted 3rd parties needed
>no way to trace any traffic back to you, unless you set anonymity to 0
>even just searching for content can be done via GNUnet's anonymous protocol
>anyone can publish anything
>no way for publishers to know who's downloading
>no way for downloaders to know who's publishing (except via optional namespaces)
>Sounds cool, where do I start?

Because GNUnet GUI is vomit inducing and the documentation is awful. Pic related is the GUI.

Holy fuck
Was this made with gimp?

>You should now click on the Australian Aboriginal Flag. Once you have done this, you will see a list of known peers (by the first four characters of their public key), their friend status (all should be marked as not-friends initially), their connectivity (green is connected, red is disconnected), assigned bandwidth, country of origin (if determined) and address information
it literally is an aboriginal Australian flag. Why

No idea.

Is there anything practical I can do with GnuNet other than sharing CP?
>>
>>59928514
Also there is a GNU net based social network called secushare. http://secushare.org/ Also there are some chats.

I like the concept of this, but the execution is shit. Half the documentation links in the client are dead, and I can't get it to actually tell me why it's not working.
>>
>>59928019
They had to add some diversity into the icon's. Nice.
>>
>>59928553
Another open source secure social network with five people on it. Great.
How about we make an imageboard that works over GNUnet

GNUchan

>>59928618
I don't think and image board would work on GNU net. The closest thing we have to a p2p image board is zerochan on zeronet.

we've had gnunet threads in the past, half the people couldn't even download a pic

Is the documentation really that terrible?

>just doesn't werk
GNU software, ladies and gentlemen
>>
>>59928775
That happened to me as well.
>>
>>59928019
so this is the true power of linux?
>>
>>59928019
If this is still being developed, maybe someone could make some new icons and put them in a pull request/patch of sorts.
GNUnet is cool tech, but holy fuck they need a design team.
>>
>>59928801
No. Its the true power of 3 minutes in GIMP.

There is an alternative GUI and it looks much much better.
>>
>>59928873
that looks nicer, considering its using the arc theme
>>
>>59927540
Give me one reason to use this over i2p.
>>
>>59928938
Probably less CIA niggers on gnunet
>>
I had to manually create a config file in ~/.config/gnunet.conf to get the errors to stop. Now how to I connect to anything? Whats available?
