Yep, and the delicious irony in it all is that over time people are slowly adding back in to BitTorrent a lot of the complexity that Bram stripped out of MojoNation (encrypted traffic, tunnels and relaying packets, more complicated accounting systems, etc.) At the current rate of progress I figure that in five years I will be able to dust off the old MN code, change the name to "BitTorrent 3.0 experimental draft" and release it with no one the wiser :) jim _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list p2p-hackers@lists.zooko.com http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
