Cryptosphere - Encrypted P2P web application platform

I might be the square here, but for something as serious as an encrypted P2P platform that is meant to evoke trust and privacy and security, the silliness of that README is an odd match.<p>And I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s a trivial thing, as this is meant to be a foundational product used to build secure systems, and the marketing of the product (the GitHub README) contributes to how people will see it, whether they decide to use it, and is ultimately is a part of the landscape of the development of secure, encrypted systems.

Their internal cryptocurrency for P2P is not far fetched. In fact, something similar has been deployed by scientists and used on small scale since 2007: <a href="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&amp;arnumber=6663517" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ieeexplore.ieee.org&#x2F;xpl&#x2F;login.jsp?tp=&amp;arnumber=666351...</a><p>Disclaimer: dev of this system

There are simple and compelling reasons penned by the creator[0]. I ain&#x27;t an expert in security, although the key idea of a local backend with P2P activities makes intuitive sense to secure data from eavesdropping.<p>Ideas from a related project[1] like de-centralization, self-management of small servers (as opposed to server farms) distributed around the globe could be leveraged in cryptosphere?

I think that having an internal cryptocurrency, like bitcoin would improve the system. For example it would allow me to mine some coins by sharing my 2Tb HDD for 2 months and then have a place to backup my 100Gb of data for one or two years without worrying that my node will be down and my backed up data will be deleted from the network. What do you think?

Sounds like an interesting idea. I don&#x27;t think it is able to execute code in a p2p fashion so it&#x27;s probably better to call it a web publication&#x2F;storage platform

Has any thought been paid to network attacks like black holes, white holes, gray holes? Attempted network partitioning with sleeper agents? Etc.
