123 out here have an academic background in one (or more) of the above, | |
124 and most are quite happy to help students. | |

126 If you're interested in starting your own darknet, you can get plenty of | |
127 advice here. In addition, the AnoNet2 infrastructure is easy to reuse | |
128 for any other darknet, by design. (Technical ease of forking is a core | |
129 goal of AnoNet2. We avoid forks only by being good enough so nobody | |
130 feels the need to fork AnoNet2.) | |

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

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

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

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

309 The whole concept behind AnoNet is that it's whatever you make it. |
185 | 310 Of course, that's not to say you'll have to build everything from |
311 scratch, but if you want to be happy here, you're best off bringing | |
312 your creativity along rather than leaving it behind when you join. | |
313 (If you've been around darknets before, you're probably quite familiar | |
314 with "design by committee." On AnoNet, you're more than welcome to | |
315 invite a committee to discuss anything you want, but you don't have to | |
203 | 316 organize one before doing anything. If (you think) you already know |
317 what you're doing, just "build it and they will come.") | |

203 | 411 Somebody is going to have to bring up a public email server before a-mail |
412 will be generally accessible on AnoNet. SRN has abandoned an attempt | |

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

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

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

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