Talk:Friend-to-friend

From iA wiki

Hi! Just to say that you made a mistake when banning user Popof because he added a link to a page of Dan bricklin home site about friend-to-friend networks (where he introduces the term "F2F") Dan Bricklin is a computer pioneer (author of the first spreadsheet software) and his home site has not much to sell... (next time try to click on the external link to really see where it leads !)

That's not a symmetric algorithm. In fact, that's neither symmetric nor asymmetric.

> GNUnet and Freenet are not F2F because for efficiency reasons (path shortening) they may allow some random nodes to connect directly to your node, thus knowing your IP and which files you are able or willing to forward.

Close but not quite. Neither service is F2F but both services are anonymous. Neither will allow connection of both IP Address and files shared. Webfork
