Contributing to ? : Tribler - P2P Bartercast reputation system + Bandwidth-as-a-currency ( presentation at Stanford )

[Dante-Gabryell Monson]

I recommend watching this presentation given by Johan Pauwelse ( Delf University of Technology - http://pds.twi.tudelft.nl/~pouwelse/ ; http://www.linkedin.com/in/peer2peer )

- Hi Johan ! I hope we can connect our networks and find paths for collaboration. This email is sent to a broad audience of people I have been in touch with, in cc and in bcc, who are active in a combination of environments including ngo's , academic research, open source software projects, ... with often trans-disciplinary approaches, including Artificial Intelligence, study of P2P distributed approaches, Complementary Currencies and Alternative Resource Allocation Information Systems, ...

I am using the introduction to your work to get us inter-connected. Feel free to redirect to any more appropriate conversation space ( mailinglist ? I tried http://forum.tribler.org/ , yet even using TOR I do not manage to access the forum. )

The video presentation given in May 2012 converges and implements ideas some of us discussed or are working on,

and believe it can open up further collaboration amongst us based on our current work.

//

I am very glad to realize there is ( advanced ? ) research on the topic ( with EU funding ), and potential for collaboration ?

I see a lot of potential synergies and potential combinations of technologies and protocols,

at various levels.   

Including in the way meaning is built and shared in distributed databases ,

including a potential to use Semantic Web Vocabularies, IEML grammar and algebra - http://www.ieml.org/spip.php?rubrique51&lang=en - , 

... to define broader contexts and facilitate choice regarding transactions, their conditions and interdependencies , hence also enabling the design and creation, through its usage, of various kinds of metadata , which can be re-used as currency ?

Some of these approaches being considered or integrated into the development of Netention / GSS :

( as for Dante's personal vision for potential using such approach : http://sharewiki.org/en/Transaction_Graphs )

but also parallels with other projects some of us are involved in,

such as the current developments related to a european funded partnership 

around Cyclos ( cc: Leander / New Economics Foundation bcc: Edgar ) 

http://project.cyclos.org

and other projects such as http://communityforge.org - mutual credit used within communities ( cc: Tim, Matthew ) ; http://metacurrency.org/ ( cc: Arthur and Eric )  , ...

///

From here on, I hope to be able to collaborate on various layers enabling such distributed system.

Cordially, from Brussels,

Dante

note : he makes a parallel with what I identify as the Swedish JAK bank ? :

About the talk:

We aim for a more virtuous society by transforming media and money. Our ideology-driven methodology is replacing speculation, volatility and greed with cooperation, stability and rewarding of goodness. Our first goal is creating a smartphone-based infrastructure which is capable of withstanding all known government attacks on media freedom and privacy. Second, based on this self-organizing infrastructure we are designing our bank-of-bits, aiming to alter the essence of capitalism (rich get richer) by abolishing compound interest rates and facilitation safe zero-cost money transfers plus lending.

During this talk the first prototype will be unveiled of our attack-resilient QMedia app for microblogging. QMedia goal for future versions is news dissemination from a single smartphone to an audience of millions in the form of microblogging, enriched with pictures and streaming video which is guarded against all known forms of government censorship such as cyberspace sabotage, digital eavesdropping, infiltration, fraud, Internet kill switches and especially lawyer-based attacks. We hope new Open Source developers will join our Internet-deployed project and help realize our QMedia goal for the end of 2012: building next-generation anonymity technology, founded on social networking, traffic hiding and a global reputation system.

For over a decade Delft University of Technology has been measuring and building P2P systems, aided by millions of Euros in research funding from the European Union and Dutch government. We are continuously improving our own attack-resilient sharing software called Tribler. With one million downloads, Tribler provides us with vital behavioral feedback of novel algorithms. Tribler is not dependent and completely decoupled from unreliable servers such as DNS servers, web servers, swarm trackers and access portals. Using fully self-organising P2P technology we aim to create an overlay which is unbreakable: the only way to take it down is to take the Internet down.

We dream of transforming media and money with five innovations we have developed within Tribler:

1. The Libswift P2P engine,
2. Dispersy elastic database,
3. Bartercast reputation system,
4. bandwidth-as-a-currency resource based cybercurrency, and
5. the Skynet V0.1 self-organizing and self-learning Artificial Intelligence engine (joined work University of Szeged) with a very limited form of self-awareness.

Thanks for the share, interesting stuff. 

He's mentioning our bank, JAK, at around 8 min!

Hi Revlin, It would indeed be a great to use it with http://automenta apps !

excerpt Revlin mentions :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQiLaKdzD0E&feature=player_detailpage#t=1387s

excerpted :

"a p2p client with an integrated database"

"SQL database integrated into a piece of file sharing software"

( evolving into a self organizing software )

"information stays available to the network even when you close off your session"

"you distribute the functionality of the portal, the webserver - the metadata and all these things"

I was awoken around minute 23 of  the video, Dante, when he mentioned that they had a P2P client with a built in database. Is it possible to port this construct to gss or netention.js? Is it possible for node.js and a partnering database system to be installed on any and every type of system that may use our apps?
