Nope.

Try adding more peers. It updates about every 5m for me. Last update 0m ago.

Most p2p sees a client talking to relatively few peers, in which case getting the peers to cooperate so as to let the packets through is straightforward. I'm guessing a distributed reddit is going to see many hundreds of thousands of peers though, in which case the traffic generated just to defeat NAT becomes prohibitive, no? Remember it's kind of a hack, you're basically reduced to sending out packets in the blind, waiting for the router to cooperate.

And I would actually expect at those numbers that the amount of state available on the router would become an issue.

Whereas with IPv6 you can just listen on a port. You power on your device and advertising your address and hash assignment or whatever and you're back in the hive in no time.

The other thing to remember about most p2p is that latency usually isn't an issue, whereas with something like reddit users are going to quickly get frustrated if their posts don't go through right away. The only cases I can think of where latency is important in p2p is something like Skype, but then there we're only talking about a few peers at most.

Just talking out my ass here...

Using real money for karma will just lead to a lot of fraud to siphon money from legitimate users. I can't see a way for a project like this to end up as anything other than a pyramid scam.

Mobile implies NAT, which complicates greatly having a mobile device participate in p2p.

Very true. I think they kind of assume that no one is going to use aether that hasn't already used bitcoin (which is clearly a mistake on their part).

Literally retarded, I will upload a basic design for a much better system, where shouldni post it?

At least it will keep out the filthy casuals

Perhaps you're new to crypto, but the first sync for a new client in a blockchain takes exponentially longer than each sequential connection attempt.

It might be one of those systems that works best over wi-fi networks.

Phone plans and data-caps are in place to prevent the very tech we are looking at from gaining momentum.

This tech is going to be very influential in years to come, but I don't think it's there yet. If it can cross a certain user threshold (kind of like bitcoin did initially) then the concept of crypto-info-p2p could be game changing.

With that in mind, I will be using pretty much every media outlet available that supports free and open speech. I'm not afraid of a small cost of entry, if it's admittance to a true free speech zone.

BIG issue though: bitcoin is not ready to have aether piggybacking on it. The blockchain is/was at a crawl for days over a several hundred dollars in dust-attacks, which means aether works until someone is willing to drop 800 bucks into shutting it down at a key moment. That is a "game-breaking" bug in my opinion.

Ive only ever browsed voat with data cap and mobile and its never really been too bad. Depends on circumstances i suppose

It's going to take some time to realize this, at which point mobile may be up to the task. The key will be IPv6.

Good publicity.

This is news to me!
