| 203 | 114 You may be looking for help with your Mathematics, Physics or Computer |
| 115 Science homework. Due to AnoNet's nature, many of the guys who hang | |
| 116 out here have an academic background in one (or more) of the above, | |
| 117 and most are quite happy to help students. | |
| 118 | |
| 119 If you're interested in starting your own darknet, you can get plenty of | |
| 120 advice here. In addition, the AnoNet2 infrastructure is easy to reuse | |
| 121 for any other darknet, by design. (Technical ease of forking is a core | |
| 122 goal of AnoNet2. We avoid forks only by being good enough so nobody | |
| 123 feels the need to fork AnoNet2.) | |

| 192 If you just surf aimlessly for hours, you are giving away a lot of | |

| 194 avoid giving your ISP any of this information. (You are still giving the | |

| 196 but AnoNet proxies can't connect the profiling information with your | |
| 197 real-life identity, while your ISP (and anybody who can get your ISP | |
| 322 | 198 records) certainly can.) Surfing with AnoNet also means that you don't |

| 203 | 312 You may find yourself in the middle of a news story, but other parts |
| 313 of that news story may not appreciate your reports. When you report | |
| 314 something to WikiLeaks without going through tor, you're leaving a long | |
| 315 trail that may lead to you. With AnoNet, you can hide that trail to | |
| 316 a certain extent, if you don't want to use tor directly. (WikiLeaks | |
| 317 over tor will still give you better protection than AnoNet, if you're | |
| 318 worried about your government's intelligence agencies getting involved. | |
| 319 AnoNet's optimization towards pseudonymity with common IcannNet protocols | |
| 320 is the weakness, here. We're working on that, but in the meantime you | |

331 The whole concept behind AnoNet is that it's whatever you make it. |
| 185 | 332 Of course, that's not to say you'll have to build everything from |
| 333 scratch, but if you want to be happy here, you're best off bringing | |
| 334 your creativity along rather than leaving it behind when you join. | |
| 335 (If you've been around darknets before, you're probably quite familiar | |
| 336 with "design by committee." On AnoNet, you're more than welcome to | |
| 337 invite a committee to discuss anything you want, but you don't have to | |
| 203 | 338 organize one before doing anything. If (you think) you already know |
| 339 what you're doing, just "build it and they will come.") | |
