| 124 If you're interested in starting your own darknet, you can get plenty of | |

| 203 | 269 If you thought publishing blogs was tricky, try publishing a book. |
| 270 ("Alms for Jihad" comes to mind as one obvious example, where the | |
| 271 publisher went so far as to delete the book from its own database and | |
| 272 buried the copyright.) While physical books may not be so simple to | |
| 273 publish on AnoNet (although you can certainly raise awareness of them | |
| 274 by speaking out about them on AnoNet), e-books enjoy considerable | |
| 275 anti-censorship advantages on AnoNet. | |

| 203 | 279 You may want to teach disciplines that can get you into friction with "the |
| 280 authorities" in a tyrannical regime. (Judges in prominent first-world | |
| 281 countries have ruled, for example, that knowing your way around a computer | |
| 282 is an indication that you may be involved in computer-related crimes.) | |
| 283 AnoNet gives you an opportunity to teach without your students being | |
| 284 able to point you out to the authorities, even under pain of torture. | |

| 203 | 288 You may find yourself in the middle of a news story, but other parts |
| 289 of that news story may not appreciate your reports. When you report | |
| 290 something to WikiLeaks without going through tor, you're leaving a long | |
| 291 trail that may lead to you. With AnoNet, you can hide that trail to | |
| 292 a certain extent, if you don't want to use tor directly. (WikiLeaks | |
| 293 over tor will still give you better protection than AnoNet, if you're | |
| 294 worried about your government's intelligence agencies getting involved. | |
| 295 AnoNet's optimization towards pseudonymity with common IcannNet protocols | |
| 296 is the weakness, here. We're working on that, but in the meantime you | |
| 297 have L<tor|http://www.torproject.org/>, L<i2p|http://www.i2p2.de/>, | |
| 298 L<Freenet|http://freenetproject.org/>, L<GNUnet|http://gnunet.org/>, | |

305 If you're looking for a ready-made community, where you just show up and |

307 The whole concept behind AnoNet is that it's whatever you make it. |
| 185 | 308 Of course, that's not to say you'll have to build everything from |
| 309 scratch, but if you want to be happy here, you're best off bringing | |
| 310 your creativity along rather than leaving it behind when you join. | |
| 311 (If you've been around darknets before, you're probably quite familiar | |
| 312 with "design by committee." On AnoNet, you're more than welcome to | |
| 313 invite a committee to discuss anything you want, but you don't have to | |
| 203 | 314 organize one before doing anything. If (you think) you already know |
| 315 what you're doing, just "build it and they will come.") | |

| 203 | 418 =item A-Commerce |
| 419 | |
| 420 Getting Anonymous Commerce right takes a bit of effort, since nearly | |
| 421 all governments regulate the exchange of anything that has value, in an | |
| 422 attempt to preserve their power structure. A-Commerce is a core goal | |
| 423 of AnoNet, though, and we hope to achieve it someday. | |

| 427 While the AnoNet backbone, at this point, is capable of sustaining | |
| 428 real-time video streaming, there are still some technical and | |
| 429 anonymity-preservation problems to solve before anybody here is likely | |
| 430 to feel safe broadcasting TV. | |

| 439 =head2 What You Can Contribute | |
| 440 | |
| 441 Well, each of us has his own wishlist, but most of us are working on | |
| 442 moving stuff from our TODO lists to our DONE lists, so you're looking | |
| 203 | 443 at a bit of a moving (and highly subjective) target. You're more than |
| 444 welcome to contribute anything you want, and if it's interesting and/or | |
| 445 useful, it'll probably attract a following. That said, here are a number | |
| 446 of things that would benefit the AnoNet as a whole: | |

| 449 | |
| 450 =item Client Ports | |
| 451 | |
| 452 When a new user wants to connect, he'll normally come in through a | |
| 453 client port. The more client ports are available, the harder it is for | |
| 454 any individual client port to abuse its position (for example, if the | |
| 455 local government decides to try regulating it). | |
| 456 | |
| 457 =item Public Email Services | |
| 458 | |
| 203 | 459 Currently, every AnoNet user who wants an email address on AnoNet has to |
| 460 set up his own mailserver. AnoNet1 used to have a public email service so | |
| 461 people could get email addresses without running their own mail servers, | |
| 462 but it hasn't been online in nearly a year (although AnoNet1 continues to | |
| 463 advertise it). SRN is working on setting up such an animal on AnoNet2, | |
| 464 but competition here is a good thing. | |
