Hi ! And many thanks to the Blocks developers. Even though i can see that not much development happened recently, i'd like to say that only software like Blocks will be useful in non free countries. In Asia, Africa, and also in western countries like France where strong crypto is forbidden, as is true freedom of speech. In those countries, in order not to be busted, you can only trust your friends when you share sensitive files. And your friends can communicate safely with their friends and so on. That is what makes Blocks so unique IMHO. With what i call Stegnet, i.e. Blocks using steganography (like hiding informations in a video stream), people from those countries could still communicate freely. I also have ideas to improve the routing using the past queries from other nodes to know what kind of data they are more likely to host (or close to a node that hosts it). And, yes, i'm now working on quite different projects ( my new one is http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/igive/ ). So i won't have much time to give to Blocks now. But i will try to help spread its use. Before it's too late ... (Hollywood style music is played to cheer the heroes). -- Dido http://igive.free.fr "Let's make it clear: this is a free gift.
