Tox Groupchat - Election Day Edition

From the Brexit Beer Hall Celebration 2016…

Hanz Liszt:

“The Jew continues to monopolize money, and he loosens or strangles the throat of the
state with the loosening or strengthening of his purse strings. ..He has empowered
himself with the engines of the press, which he uses to batter at the foundations of
society. He is at the bottom of… every enterprise that will demolish first of all thrones,
afterwards the altar, afterwards civil law.”

bumping for ebin justice.
Tox is gud.
i recall the high water mark was 47 NEETsocs during one of the republican debates.
lets top that.

groupbot is down?

no. wait a second, especially if you are using Tor, sometimes you need to reconnect.

Bumping with some more dank orchestral tunes

its been down for like 5 minutes plus, how do i reconnect? restart qtox?

Go to options click on "reconnect"

Beautiful.

Now it's time for something a little more patriotic! On this day all of us here at Holla Forums are, on the inside at least; A REAL AMERICAN!

FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT!

...

*Patriotism Intensifies*

Today we strike back. In the name of God we go forth, crying 'Let it be done'; and then we attack.

Here's one for the Christians.

...

Remember, no matter who wins… the Happenings will escalate.

Have a bump you shut-in faggot.
TRUMP

...

Great American composer!

Trump is finally going to make anime real!

Tox mitt uns!

Go tell that long tongued liar…

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down!

Bumping with White music

Tox Network Statistics

The Tox DHT network is a highly scalable and censorship-resistant distributed peer-to-peer network, the purpose of which is to replace the functionality of centralized servers and trusted authorities. All UDP-enabled Tox clients—referred to as nodes—are a part of this network.

The statistics displayed on this website represent a low-end approximation of unique nodes within the network.

This website was created by Jfreegman. Statistics are generated using publicly available network data obtained via toxcrawler. If you find these statistics or any of my other Tox-related projects useful, please consider supporting me by clicking the donate button below.

Long term vision

The TokTok Project goal is to reinvent the internet. Big words. What does reinventing the internet mean? Let’s first look at where we are now.

1 Our digital life

Imagine this: you activate your smartphone in the morning, and you receive a bunch of messages from friends and play a game of chess with a stranger on the internet. You then turn on your laptop and open a document you were working on from your desktop computer earlier today. Sounds pretty normal, right? These are things our internet supports.

How does all of this work?

Your friend wrote a message to you. When they press “send”, the phone application sends the message to a server (a publicly accessible computer) on the internet. When you wake up your phone, it connects to that server and collects the message. The server may then tell your friend’s phone that the message was collected and mark it as delivered.
To play a game of chess, you connect to a chess server, which mediates between you and your chess partner. It verifies that the moves you make are valid, and decides when the game is over (someone won or gave up).
To access a document on two computers, you store it on a server and retrieve it. Anytime you change it, a new copy is uploaded to the server, and your other computers will download it.

Sounds good. Seems fine. Except there is one problem with all of this: those servers storing information and computing things for you are most likely not yours.

2 A new way of computing

Let’s reimagine this.

Let’s imagine, instead of storing messages on a server, we store it on and retrieve it from the internet. Instead of having a server calculate your company’s annual revenue, the internet does that. Your documents are stored on the internet. You want your videos stabilised? Send them off to the internet along with a stabilisation program and get it done.. by the internet.

2.1 What is the internet?

The internet is made up of every computer that is connected to it. It’s a network of computers that all do exactly two things: store data, and calculate stuff. This is already the case, but the difference between the current internet and the new internet is this: In the new internet, none of the computers know what they are doing. Compute power is simply a resource that you use and provide, buy and sell.

In this internet, there is no surveillance, because there is nothing to see. Pieces of data are flying around the internet, partial computations are performed in various places, but there is no way to reconstruct the intent of the originator.

In this internet, there is no censorship. There is nothing to block. There are no patterns to match internet packets against, as they all look similar to observers: like random noise.

3 How?

There are various advances in distributed routing made by projects such as Freenet. Other projects, such as Tox, have created means for private communication. The TokTok project is about spreading these means, making them easy for people to use, and furthering research in these areas. We will create a transition path for traditional services to operate within the new internet and gradually migrate.

4 No really, how?

You’re interested in the technical details? Well, we haven’t worked out all the exact details, yet, but the current plan is:

Use the Tox protocol to establish a mesh network. This builds on top of the traditional internet and creates a network where devices are not addressed by Internet Protocol Address, but by public key. This lowest level allows devices to find each other on the internet and establishes computationally secure communication channels between them.
Build a dynamic distributed storage system on top of the mesh. The TokTok Distributed File System (TDFS) provides a means for ephemeral data storage. It builds on ideas in Freenet to create a way to reliably and securely store information. If information is used, it is stored. If it is forgotten, the internet will forget about it as well.
Build a distributed computation platform. To perform secure and anonymous computations, the computation itself needs to be split into pieces. Each participant in the computation receives a part of the problem and instructions to execute on that problem. The TokTok Distributed Computer (TDC) builds on ideas in [email protected]/* */ to provide a virtual computer that can securely execute any program on any data using CPU cycles from a distributed set of physical computers.

5 In the meantime..

..we’re building privacy enhancing software for everyone.

This document presents the long term vision, but like we said, we are a focussed group of software and systems engineers, cryptographers, and distributed systems researchers. We want to bring value to the world by helping every person protect their privacy using the software we create or collaborate on.

Can you guys fucking set up on something which uses TCP? Tox is a literal meme messenger.

A tiny bit of connection instability (as is typical over Tor) and you'll be rejoining your chat channels every hour or so.

No. xD

I just wanna say, somewhere slightly less ephemeral it's moving like Twitch in there that I love all you guys and it's been an honor shitposting with you over a FLOSS fully distributed and P2P e2e encrypted VOIP messenger started on the chans, and I hope you're ready for tomorrow.

except you bureau
if you're using it over tor you're already using tcp, you dumb fuck
kill yourself

You can use cryptostorm's free VPN service called cryptofree if you are too much of a shekel pinching kike to pay out $4 a month. Using a VPN allows you to send packets over UDP which is how Tox is intended to work, for good reasons. TCP mode / supernode proxys were really designed for mobile users to save battery and bandwidth, since it sends all their traffic through one node rather than all of your friends. This is the point of failure which causes you to disconnect, not Tor. It just so happens this feature is essential to use with Tor, because Tor is TCP only. Either get a VPN, write a patch for Tox that fixes your issues (I2P support [which can transmit UDP] would be nice), or STFU.

Since you know alot about how it works, there is one other fix:
Detect the dropping of the connection to the single peer in TCP/supernode mode, and do auto-reconnect. As basically as I can state it, pretty much something which detects this drop and hits the "reconnect" button in qTox.

that's fucking stupid in a number of ways
please read the docs and come back

Nothing is stopping you from joining the Tox development team. They are always looking for more help. You seem pretty enthusiastic about improving the code after all, so why not lend a hand?

And I think it is more of a latency issue more than anything. Consider many people do use Tox for audio/video chat. These nodes may get swamped from time to time and thus your connection times out. Its all because normal Tox nodes do not use TCP at all so you need these supernode proxys to translate TCP to UDP to reach the rest of the network.
