Hi and welcome to P2P-Zone, shepdog! It is always a pleasure to see new developers joining the p2p movement!
As for the title of your thread, you have come to just the right place to ask your questions – this is an active and savvy p2p community with plenty of collective experience and insight. Some comments on the discussion so far: Quote:

It would also be good for the end user if various optimisations (for speed, for search success etc.) would be as automatic as possible. If there is a set of parameters to be optimised for me to get my stuff faster, I would like the smart software to do the optimising in the background and just deliver me the goodies with the best speed possible from the network!

Now be quiet, you're scaring people, Maze.

I think Dave's right here. Just look at RedHat, they make the most widely recognized and used Linux distribution available and they're profitable too. Of course to make an open source project generate revenue you need a brilliant business person to match your brilliant programming skills. But if what you're really trying to do is to promote and support emerging musicians, filmmakers, and artists then there's no need for the revenue stream to go through your hands, users can compensate artists directly. Your software could include a PayPal link to each artist or something like that. The point is that capitalism and open software aren't necessarily opposing forces, and sometimes they're quite complimentary. |

Thanks for your feedback and your previous postings. Very good information. One last question to the board in general. Do any of you think you would be interested in beta testing a new p2p app around the end of the year? I've got to start thinking about it.. Thanks to all of you for all your feedback. John |

Instead of having a single permanent identity for all your social interactions it might be safer to have a set of permanent identities, one for each established social relation (peer contact, group membership etc). This way, if any of those identities would get lost, compromised or troubled, you would not lose your entire social position and credentials but just the compromised part of it. This sort of arrangement would also help to make the peer discovery process more secure: when searching for a given peer you would search for an identity that would be unknown or irrelevant to most other peers. - tg |
