SplinterNet

Will I ever use this: Almost definitely no. Do I think its really cool?: Hell yes.

This is great! I imagine it can also be used for areas of low connectivity or high traffic. (e.g. rural guy & postman, hurricane affected areas)

This looks like an awesome project! Another similar one to check out is called Refuge: http://refuge.io/

This looks like a great project. My only feedback is that in these types of situations, the tendency is for people to use the tools they already have. For the London riots that…

This is neat. But. If this took off, and was actually being used by people... ...and the authorities, or any other attacker, wanted to disrupt the system -- they could just put…

Will this promiscuously share with any other reachable running instance? Does that, combined with anonymity, create a risk that an adversary could distribute misinformation…

The potential problem is that you've just described a malware author's dream. I know it's probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't believe that we should be distributing APKs…

some problems with this -authorities won't care msgs are anonymous and will assume you wrote them or know who did if your phone is seized, you will get rubber hosed anyways -just…

We are considering as a next step having signed messages so you know at least two messages came from the same person. We want to maintain anonymity to protect posters, but it'd…

Great thought on signing before secrecy. Have you looked at the ietf JOSE project for signing json?

I think PGP signing could be a great way to prove authorship on publicly available messages (in those cases where rather than anonymity one does want to definitively know who…

I noticed you handle images, but do you scrub the EXIF data?

No actually I don't think we do, but I'll check since that would obviously be a big problem. If you get a sec would you open an issue for us so we remember? Thanks for pointing…

I think the app itself should be installable through bluetooth. if another user doesn't have this app installed, the app should be able to transfer its apk package to the user…

I ask this from a fairly clueless, out-of-date perspective, but are the current Bluetooth stacks and implementations robust enough at this point to trust? (Aside from all the…

What is the licensing for SplinterNet source, please?

What is the protocol being used for mesh routing? Has this been built on top of B.A.T.M.A.N?

This looks like an awesome project! Another similar one to check out is called Refuge: http://refuge.io/

There is a project like that, in fact (full disclosure: I am the developer): https://github.com/danstaples/MediaGrid. I bet SplinterNet could integrate well with such a backbone…

maybe have a look at secushare.org

This would be a great use for something like the chirp.io[1] protocol (data over audio). It would be much easier to use, compatible with all kinds of phones and devices, and…
