A few months back I built a cryptographic alternative to CAPTCHAs called Ghost Keys[1] that uses a small donation as proof-of-humanity. For donating you get an anonymous keypair that works across services without repeated CAPTCHAs. The economic friction doesn't scale for bot operators, and donations fund our non-profit[2].

This is the problem we're working on with https://freenet.org/ - a general purpose platform for building entirely decentralized services.
Our thesis is that the client-server architecture is a fundamental flaw in the world wide web's design, which inherently concentrates power in the hands of a few. Freenet aims to be a general purpose replacement for this in which all services are entirely decentralized.
The first non-trivial app we're building will be a group chat system called River[1].

Hey everyone! I have shown this program before, but it has changed ALOT since then.
I would really love to hear your feedback, suggestions and questions.

Nautilus
Nautilus is a Rust-based framework for building decentralized networks and secure communication systems. It focuses on modularity, scalability, and privacy, with features like decentralized identity, public key infrastructure, and service discovery. Perfect for exploring innovative network architectures. (by Pierre-Aronnax)
