It might be an interesting project idea, but it was not presented as such. I would have liked to think about the project idea instead of wasting time to find out that it was a non-existing project based on other non-existing projects. That this non-existing project was used in an attempt to attack federated social web communities certainly did not help to improve my opinion. >> Please do not waste the time of readers of the mailing list with >> something like that again.

This SocialSwarm mailing list consists only of insiders knowing all relevant version numbers ? (If yes, then this would illustrate a fundamental problem of the whole approach.) I first considered the strange GNUnet version number to be either the number of a GNUnet subproject or a result of a typo. Anyway, at least one other subscriber of this mailing list obviously took the announcement at face value and asked for the source code. So it was no longer a matter of opinion but fact when I posted my comment. And yes, I spent time to find a software named "GNU consensus" because I though something like that _might_ exist. And now have wasted even more time on this fake announcement. > I'd rather think harder on the upcoming meeting in Hamburg and see > what we're going to do there, because the global situation is, er, > warming, and free software still is a marginal idealist--as in > broke--section of technological innovation.
