Pull Requests

I'm confused.

Where is the best place for this...

Here?

https://github.com/zeronet-conservancy/zeronet-conservancy

or here

https://github.com/ZeroNetX/ZeroNet/

I wanted to put it here at first.

https://github.com/zeronet-conservancy/zeronet-conservancy

I put my pull request here.

#2856

I would also say thanks for all and for the great project...

Looks like zeronet-conservancy is more active on the coding side but I would say request a pull request for both. It's hard to tell which project has more active users.

Are you interested in continuing with development of this project? I'm a huge fan of ZeroNet and would love to see it succeed.

Thank you for your feedback ,

I will take a closer look at everything at the beginning of January next year, at the moment it is rather bad...

I don't want to take work away from others, but I have a lot planned...

The others can just keep on working. I want to do my part, I just want to add my two cents

Let yourself be surprised by what comes...

Happy Christmas and happy new year.....

Last statement for this year:

I will only contribute something, but I don't want to take away @caryoscelus @canewsin @purplesyringa or the other developers work, ( i thank for all) or disrupt the maintainers in general, or their further development.

It is important to me to build my code in such a way that it will be compatible with all Zeronet versions....

I am also a huge fan and i want to do much for this project, but now, christmas and so on.... but Zeronet is great ... yes i feel that...

Best wishes

@wolfitdm hey there! nice to see another dev is interested in 0net ^_^ as you probably noticed, the only major fork currently in development is conservancy, however i'm the only active dev there and i don't spend as much time on it as i'd like. current major issue is spam/id handling; i'm hoping to address it with a major update (which unfortunately be only partially backwards-compatible) soon

brief notes on your PR & ideas:

• i'm not a fan of using DNS, whether on namecoin or not; by its nature, any DNS is centralized (even if there's no singular authority, there has to be consensus) and one of valuable features of 0net for me is ability to work offline and in (partially) isolated networks (and being able to sync if connection appears)
• utilizing blockchain can be a great option as means of preventing spam, but for the same reason as above it shouldn't be the sole option (i.e. users should be able to register w/o blockchain interaction, but still with spam-prevention limits)

First of all, thank you for the kind words and yes, I am interested in ZeroNet, but not just since yesterday. In 2018 I looked at ZeroNet, was very enthusiastic and developed I2P support. But all in silence. You could say that I never participated officially, but always quietly. You are the only one who officially develops your fork of ZeroNet and presents it on Github.. I think the developers have retreated to 0net (GitCenter and Co).

Yes, but ZeroName is no better.

You have to update the pages of the namecoin network using the zeroname updater, and you have to create a zite for new domains.

Others cannot see them and generally get the domain information from a JSON file, and that from a centralized zite. You need the owner from the zite, to update the domains? What where is that decentralized?

Users don't even have a clue how to change it.

DNS is not bad in itself, it depends on how it is implemented.

For ZeroID, I came up with the idea of ​​remodeling VerifyID, which Namecoin uses, for a kind of integrated blockchain in ZeroNet. A blockchain that works as a plugin.

You could also handle the DNS like that.

Instead of having a zite that gets the domains from the Namecoin network, it would be much better if there was a kind of ZeroNetwork chain that provides Bitcoin addresses that represent zites that contain the names.json, and thats not all. ZeroNet need reverse dns. For example d/bitcoinadress -> d/zite.bit, in order to can resolve the domain faster and with more security so that not anybody can steal the domain.

In addition, you could also deliver the JSON file directly. There are blockchains with size of 4 MB and more. Namecoin only has 512kb. As it is implemented now, it is not really decentralized.

I don't want to replace ZeroName, I'm thinking of a plugin that offers that but can still run with ZeroName.

I would have to get to grips with your fork first, but I think what you are doing is great. Please keep going!
