designing a "web2.0″ p2p network with gossip protocols

Presented at ToorCamp 2014, July 12, 2014, noon (50 minutes)

There have been many p2p networks, from filesharing (bittorrent), anonymization (tor), another network layer (cjdns), to crypto currencies.

But one style of application that is mostly unexplored in p2p-land is the "web2.0″ "social network".

I'll show how a the pattern of "feeds" and "follows" translates very naturally to a completely decentralized system that is efficient and scalable.

    I'm a traveller and a hacker. growing up in the ends of the earth, I have always known the pain of latency, or network partitions (such as the state known as "offline") This has given me an keen interest in data replication, which I have been researching and experimenting with for several years now.
