This is just what I need a good protocol design.

That sounds great, you are very welcome to try your hand on implementing any parts of it!

Please also note the current ongoing work on a C++ beginning implementation by Michael Prinzinger:

If you want to help, please contact him and I'm sure there will be very good opportunities for efficient joint work!

This isn't just "cool" - This project has far reaching implications, that can change human history forever.

How is the p2p bootstrap problem handled without centralization? how are initial peer nodes IP's found? in Tor this is handled by having multiple authorities that rate each other, and bitcoin (used to or still does) connect to an irc channel to meet peers. how is this initial contact layed in a completely decentralized network? I fail to find this information in the 2 papers... if there is an elegant solution please describe here or point to the right spot in the papers/source.

Comment by project member spjss...@gmail.com, Nov 18, 2011

We do currently not have a special solution for this

Comment by ludwig.m...@gmail.com, Nov 18, 2011

Ah, its in section 6.5 of the original white paper... it uses its last view, and for original connection it would need at least 1 currently connected node adress through sharing in other media or a hardcoded list... im not sure how realistic it is that a user will regularly make sure he shares it with a person known in real life...

Is the current version the svn only support by i386 or are going to compile it for arm? im asking because i want to participate in routing the traffic and i got a Pi in mind for that.
