I have often though why many server things are just not server like client software. like why the third party. especially given many folks don’t turn their machines off all the time.
Exactly! That’s the whole point behind PeerBox. Most people already have a machine running most of the time, so why trust a third party to handle your messages? The only reason centralized servers became the norm is to monetize your data or charge you a subscription, all at the expense of your privacy. PeerBox just flips that logic back to where it should be.
I used to be on ZeroNet, which enabled everything to be P2P: blogs, forums, social networks, text chat, messaging, filesharing, code forges even. No servers, and all accessible with one account.
But it never really took off (& of the few people there, too many were the kind kicked off other platforms IMHO for good reason). But I still hope P2P solutions will rise up, so we can avoid all the issues involved with depending on servers. Good luck with PeerBox!
Thanks for sharing that! ZeroNet was a really interesting project, it’s a shame it attracted the wrong crowd because the concept was solid. We share the same vision, P2P is the way forward. Thanks for the kind words and the support!
